"Our mother Chutinun Oumrugsa  is an amazing woman. She has loved cooking since I can remember. When I was 10 years old, she owned 2 Thai restaurants in Bangkok Thailand, even though she had full time job working with government of Thailand, she balanced both careers while raising 3 children. She also catered 500-1000 events all the time. I still remember all of my family members have to sit in line like a food production factory arranging these huge catering orders. She started cooking meals for her family since she was in High School. From that time on cooking was in her blood.  She still loves to cook with new recipes and still has a strong passion for cooking everyday.

 

 Mom acquired even more cooking experience when she took early retirement. She joined her friends Thai restaurant in Los Angeles as a chef. Her 20 years cooking experience grew while working at many other restaurants through out the Los Angeles area. While visiting my son and I in Burlington, Ontario in 2004. She noticed there was only 2 Thai restaurants in town.

​

So, with my mother's passion to bring a real Authentic Thai food to town. In 2005, we opened a Thai restaurant right across from Spencer Smith Park in downtown Burlington, Canada. Mom was quick to jump on board immersing herself in the day to day operation of the kitchen, lending her advice and knowledge in training the kitchen staff in preparing the Best Thai Dishes. Along the way she created quick and easy recipes using our own Thai Curry Pastes so that our kitchen staff could create real authentic curry dish flavour in no time. Our customers soon began to request our curry pastes to take home and cook with, emphasizing their full bodied taste and rich spice flavors."
