SAVING OUR THAI RESTAURANT: 2 Years Later
At 24, our family restaurant had around 3 months before we’d have to shut. My mum had kept us open for 23 years and I couldn’t let her legacy shut. Here’s how hard we’ve worked to turn us around and lessons I’ve learned along the way.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE ❤️ Mum is incredibly happy and it means the world. Lots of Love, Alex

THANK YOU MUM 🫶🏼
Mum put on a proper feast to welcome @gulapish back after 9 years away — she used to work with us when I was little, and they’ve stayed close ever since 💛
So special seeing the Thai Orchid team come together to celebrate 🥳
Mum was glowing all night — and said, “I slept very well” (that’s how we know she was truly happy 🥹)
WHAT CHILLI TO USE IN PAD KRAPOW? 🌶️
Auntie Tik and I show you which chilli 🌶️ you should use in Pad Krapow and how many to use per portion! (You can also use Birds Eye Chillies)
