Khun Prom’s Story
I first met David when I was cooking in a restaurant in Chiang Mai. According to him it was love at first sight. He came back the next day and asked me to have dinner with him. I said no.
The following day he came to the restaurant to ask me to lunch. I said no. For the remainder of the week he came every day to ask me for coffee, to go for a walk, to go shopping. I said no, no, no.
After several months he discovered where I lived in the countryside and visited me every weekend for nearly a year. The first time he took me to lunch most of my family came with us. For six months he kept an engagement ring in his pocket and eventually, when my family members accepted him, David and I went for a quiet walk and he asked me to marry him. I said yes. When we got home the party was already in full swing. Everybody knew what my answer would be. We have been together now for ten years and have a son of 8 and a daughter aged 6.
I am a professionally trained chef and the pastry chef at David’s Kitchen, responsible for all the desserts. We might be the only place in Chiang Mai to offer sticky toffee pudding, an English favourite that David introduced, but all our puddings are popular.
