Chef Pam” would make everyone question if they were doing enough in their twenties. At 21, she won the Asia Youth Hope Cooking contest by Les Disciples d’Escoffier and a year later was named by Her World Magazine as one of their “Young Women of the Year”. Setting her sights on opening her own restaurant in Bangkok after having worked in various restaurants including with famous chef Jean Georges in New York, she ended up opening one from her own kitchen at home. “The Table by Chef Pam” would become the talk of the town with exclusive seating, reservations with a three-month long wait time, and even a video about her made by the now-defunct social media storytellers Great Big Story. Now, she’s setting her sights on going from “Michelin-trained” to “Michelin-starred” with her restaurant, Potong, which serves up progressive Thai-Chinese cuisine. But that’s not all she’s busy with: as managing director and executive head chef of The X Project, she handles a number of restaurants under the brand as well as doing luxury catering for events.
