Twenty-six years ago in Kunming on the Chinese mainland, a taste revolution began. Chef Janjira Ananchaipattana arrived from Chiang Mai, introducing the sizzling, hot and sour flavors of Thai cuisine to a city where it was once a delightful novelty in the "Spring City."
Fast forward to today, and Chef Janjira has become a culinary icon with six bustling restaurants where locals savor every bite. With the 50th anniversary of China-Thailand diplomatic relations around the corner, she celebrated by hosting an unforgettable "Friendship Long-table Banquet." The event featured classic Thai dishes alongside a special fusion creation crafted by the chef herself, symbolizing years of deep cultural ties and shared flavors.
The banquet was a lively mix of traditions, laughter, and mouthwatering food—a true testament to how culinary art connects hearts and bridges cultures. It’s a story of passion, innovation, and the universal language of delicious food. 🍲✨
