Red and tempting

As a little girl in Thailand, Chef Suksamai liked nothing better than to cook with her mother and grandmother, the love for food and cooking was deeply engrained in her family. Her playtime was spent balancing flavours and creating dishes that didn’t exist. Despite a degree in Marketing, Sukasamai decided to pursue her true love — cooking. This love took her to different parts of the world, always driven by the belief that Thai cuisine should be rightly showcased outside Thailand. She finally brought her magic as the Thai Chef to 19 Oriental Avenue, the speciality Asian restaurant at Shangri-La’s Eros Hotel, New Delhi. Her favourite Indian dish is chicken bhuna and in Thai cuisine she loves to cook tom yum soup. An avid traveller, she enjoys visiting temples and pilgrimage sites like the Golden Temple n Amritsar.
