About Us
Myna Trading Co. was created to share the flavors, stories, and everyday traditions that connect people across cultures.
Our journey began with Shioketh, a Singapore-inspired food pop-up in Hawaiʻi built around a love for sharing food and bringing people together. Through every meal, conversation, and community gathering, we saw how food can carry memories, preserve traditions, and create new connections.
Myna Trading Co. is our way of continuing that mission — introducing thoughtfully crafted foods inspired by the places, people, and traditions that have shaped us.
About Us
Our Philosophy
We believe the most memorable foods are often the ones woven into everyday life — the breakfast shared before a busy day, the snack enjoyed with family, or the flavors that instantly bring you back to a certain place and time.
Our goal is to honor those traditions while making them approachable for a new generation of food lovers. We celebrate the craftsmanship and stories behind Southeast Asian foods while creating products that feel at home in Hawaiʻi kitchens.
From our kitchen in Hawaiʻi to homes near and far, Myna Trading Co. invites you to discover the flavors, stories, and traditions that bring us together.
About our Mascot
The myna bird is a familiar sight throughout Southeast Asia and Hawaiʻi: adaptable, curious, social, and always at home in the places it discovers.
Like the foods we celebrate, the myna represents connection. It travels between environments, brings different worlds together, and thrives in the spaces where cultures meet. It reminds us that traditions are not frozen in time — they travel, evolve, and become part of new communities.
We chose the myna as our symbol because it reflects the spirit behind our brand: curiosity, discovery, and the joy of sharing something meaningful with others.
