COOKING FOR HAPPINESS!

A favorite song makes you want to dance and sing along.

A favorite book takes your imagination to different places.

A favorite image hypnotizes your mind. These are small things that bring on various sensations, and they are attainable pleasures you can give to yourself. But, do you ever think about creating intense excitement for your taste buds?

​

An award-winning film transports you into another reality; the visuals are eye-candy; the sound effects are ear-candy; when your senses are aroused by these combinations, you can even imagine an aroma or flavor!

​

When happiness comes in the form of taste, it's like a symphony you bring to your palette. The dynamic combinations of varying flavors will elevate you to a new dimension. And THAT will be the taste that gives a long-lasting impression you will want to replicate again and again.

​

Our palette is sophisticated; it can experience eight distinct flavors: sweet, salty, spicy, sour, neutral, umami, bitter, and mun! The word "mun" has a deep translation in Thai cuisine; it doesn't just define ingredients, flavor, and texture, but also an emotion! Similar to the sensation you feel when eating popcorn or potato chips—you can't stop after one bite! However, balancing the eight flavors is indeed an art form that requires years of training to reach mastery.

​
