As a family business, the possibility of Zoie began when Maricar and Scott met on their first date – September 22nd, 2009. After a great meal at an Asian fusion restaurant in Darling Harbour, Kobe Jones, Scott invited Maricar to continue the evening at a nearby café. She accepted and there they discovered a joint passion for hot chocolate and rich, indulgent desserts. As time went on, they went on many food adventures together.
