Pailin Chongchitnant

Pailin Chongchitnant has always felt at home in the kitchen, and fondly recalls spending her childhood afternoons squeezing fresh coconut milk and grinding pork. Born and raised in Southern Thailand, she attended Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco, and is the creator and host of Hot Thai Kitchen – a popular YouTube cooking show with an instructional approach. Pailin currently lives in Vancouver, where she’s training to be a high school cooking teacher. If she had to choose one last meal, it would be her grandma’s Hainanese chicken rice.

Probably the most ordered dish in any North America Thai restaurant. Now you get to make it at home.

Green Papaya Salad with Crispy Pork
Being raw it stands up to grating for a nice texture in the salad. We also feature dried shrimp which get pounded into a paste with garlic and chilis and peanuts resulting in a joyous flavor burst in your mouth.

Coconut Chicken Soup
The way the lime and lemongrass add to dimensions of citrus. The peppery galangal and chilis give the broth oomph while the salty fish sauce balances the sweet rich palm sugar. All in a delicate coconut broth.
