At the heart of Butik Roti Maria stands Chef Maria — wife to Chef Baudin, mother of three, and the gentle force behind our Malay-Javanese kitchen. What began as a mother’s act of love — preparing healthy, preservative-free meals for her children with eczema — has become a sanctuary of nourishment for many.
Her cooking reflects her deep care:
Soto Jawa brewed to perfection,
Mee Rebus & Mee Kari layered with tradition,
Nasi Ayam 3 Budak Gemuk, a tribute to her children
Masak Lemak Kuning Ayam Salai, full of kampung soul,
Lontong Darat & Lodeh that brings Raya warmth all year long.
But Chef Maria is not only the queen of soulful dishes — she is also an award-winning bread baking entrepreneurship trainer, empowering women, homemakers, and aspiring bakers for over a decade.
Her recognitions include:
• Usahawan Terbaik Peladang
• Usahawan Terbaik RISDA Malaysia
• Usahawan Terbaik MARA
Before the pandemic hit, her kitchen was a powerhouse of skill-sharing. After PKP, she transformed it into a sanctuary— not just for food, but for healing, grounding, and community empowerment.
She cooks like it’s for her family.
She teaches like she’s lighting the way.
She leads like a mother does — with heart and humility.
At Butik Roti Maria, every dish is a dedication, and every class is a legacy.
