Ngọc Trần
Ngọc Trần is the driving force behind Shop Bao Ngoc, a small Vietnamese eatery in Brunswick that operates as much as a community space as it does a restaurant. It runs on a pay-what-you-can and pay-it-forward model — no one is turned away for lack of funds and there is a community fridge out the front, stocked with free meals for anyone who needs them. For Ngọc, cooking has always been a means of connection - with her own heritage and with others. The food she serves is grounded in nostalgia, recipes that carry family, migration and care within them, offered as a way to bring people together at the table. The shop is often listed as “open when we feel like it” - it operates on a part-time model where Ngọc works the restaurant and catering around her other day jobs, using what would usually be her spare hours to prep, cook and host. It’s a deliberate choice: to keep the space human, responsive and rooted in community rather than profit. Shop Bao Ngoc is her values made tangible: food as connection and community as the priority.

Phở Gà by Shop Bao Ngọc & Aura

This collaborative poster brings together Thai artist Aura, who is based between Tasmania and Bangkok, and Brunswick chef Ngọc Trần of Shop Bao Ngọc. At its heart is a humble and generous bowl of Vietnamese chicken noodle soup, Phở Gà.

For Ngọc, Phở Gà is more than a recipe. It’s a labour of love, a dish that carries family, migration and memory. At her restaurant-turned-community-hub, food is a way of caring for locals — served on a pay-what-you-can basis, offered without condition and always rooted in connection. The comfort of chicken soup, slowly prepared over hours to be shared with many, reflects everything she values: generosity, community and honouring her heritage.

Aura translates that spirit through her signature layered collage technique. Cutting, painting and assembling, she builds the composition piece by piece, just like the multitude of ingredients that come together to form Phở Gà. The result is a joyful, textural artwork that feels like a big hug.
