Khun Dao Special skill: Starters
Khun Dao is one part of a husband-wife chef team working at the Blue
Elephant in London. He is tall, good looking in a cheerful sort of
way. It is therefore, not surprising that when he first started
working as a young man in Bangkok, it was in the service section of
the international S&P group of restaurants in Thailand.
When this group expanded to London, Khun Dao was sent, along
with his wife, to work in the Fulham Road branch of the S&P
restaurant in London.
Dao’s adaptability in different
departments of the restaurant was obvious when he was moved
around the three different sections of: kitchen, service and
cashing up. It was therefore, not unexpected that he received
the ‘employee of the year’ award whilst working there. After 6
years with the restaurant, Khun Dao gave in to the
irresistible attraction of the Blue Elephant situated on the
same road in London, and joined the Blue Elephant team with
his wife in 1997. He currently looks after the starter section
with Khun Phan. Together, they make an indestructible team.
