Anyone who has lived overseas and had intense cravings for food from home can quite easily understand what led Thai native Nirunchala Puntong to open Malai Thai Cuisine. Nirunchala is a lovely lady who loves the food of her homeland. When she came to Malaysia, she longed for a taste of home but found that none of the food at the Thai restaurants she tried matched the real deal.
“I tried many Thai restaurants but when I ate the food, I felt disappointed with the taste, because I love to eat and I know what is good and what is bad. So when I ate Thai food here, I felt, ‘This is not Thai, it’s not authentic,’” she says.
