Kinnaree by Vanessa WU

Inspiration

          From her role as a giver, Professor Vanessa WU, or Wanasnan Kanokpattanangkul (วนัสนันท์ กนกพัฒนางกูร), is an educator who has opened Thai restaurants abroad. She is filled with immense inspiration, having traveled the world for the past 30 years to share the essence of Thai cuisine across Europe and Asia. With a deep love for Thai food and valuable local ingredients, she has introduced the charm of Thai Taste to people worldwide, allowing them to experience the beauty hidden in every element of Thai restaurants, from the food and beverages to the ambiance, cultural performances, and warm, family-like service. This is all grounded in her belief that “Love what you do, and do what you love.”

  

          In 2006, she returned to her homeland, Thailand, to open a Thai restaurant in Sukhumvit 8, marking the beginning of Kinnaree by Vanessa WU, which continues to this day. With a love for promoting Thai food and an understanding of the value of ingredients carefully tended by the hands and hearts of people from all regions of Thailand, she has infused her expertise and experiences—from teaching, researching local Thai ingredients, creating Thai culinary documentaries, and exploring the culinary tastes of people around the world—into designing and developing the menu at Kinnaree by Vanessa WU.
