We lived in a northern province of Thailand called Phrae, where culture and gastronomy can be easily distinguished from what you can fnd in a big city like Bangkok. After my big sisters left our hometown to continue their education and pursue their career, the youngest one like me, of course, stayed behind and learned how to cook.
The most joyful memories of my childhood are standing in front of the stove with my grandma for hours trying to perfectly make Kaeng Hung Lae, one of our Northern signature curries. The aroma of dried chilies, garlic, fresh turmeric, ginger and other spices made the kitchen a true heaven for me.
Time came for me to further my education abroad. Living overseas did not stop me from cooking traditional Thai dishes. It did actually push me to push ‘more’ of them and to challenge myself with a new recreation. Nothing could ever make me feel prouder than seeing my Massaman curry on the table after hours of not just making it, but perfecting it.
I had been a fight attendant with Kuwait Airways for over ten years. Traveling abroad was also an unforgettable experience for my food journey. I was often contacted by Thai Embassy in Kuwait to help out in the kitchen, where I tasted out new menu and brought out amazing food presentation. Carving fruits and vegetables is another specialty of mine besides making rich and fresh curry paste.
Nothing is more special than a well-balanced dish with a wonderful presentation and fresh aroma of spices. Freshness, favors and presentation are the keys of my kitchen. And those are what you would fnd here, on your very own table, at Simply Tasty Thai. Thai Basil APPETIZERS Extra Sauce: Small: $.50 or Large: $2
