JARATPHONG WIJITSUNTHORNKUN (“Chef Kong”) is the second-generation chef of The Silver
Lake House. His path to culinary passion started from very humble beginnings in Samut Prakan,
10 miles outside Bangkok. Every morning he would wake up before sunrise to accompany his
grandmother to the local farmers market to select the best meats, produce, and other
ingredients for her family grocery. His Chinese background had taught him so much of the Chinese
cooking technique, and he learned Thai home-style cooking from his mother, which is a good
combination and well practiced in his own kitchen.
After completing a bachelor’s degree in Bangkok, Chef Kong moved to Los Angeles to study
English, with no intention of becoming a chef. One day fate seemed to have had other ideas
though. While working part-time at Leela Thai, his aunt saw something of great promise in him.
Chef Kong learned so much from his aunt about cooking and had an opportunity to meet an
owner of a well-known Thai restaurant, Bangkok, who was willing to teach and tell him
everything about their secret recipes. Also, Chef Kong went to a few Thai culinary schools for
baking and pastry. In addition to Thai food, you can find some fine desserts as well. His love of
cooking and extensive background in Thai cuisine will ensure you a wonderful experience at The Silver Lake house by Leela Thai
Experience the real taste of our food.
