Greetings (Sawasdee kha),
My name is Roong. The opening of our suitcase immigrant story is just the same as many stories you’ve heard before. We came from Thailand to the USA at almost 20 years, landing at LAX with a suitcase and a couple of hundreds in the pocket (like others, nothing new, lol). As immigrants, we tried all the ways to root in this land and worked hard to provide for our growing family. For almost 10 years, he works as a cafe service at the casino in Las Vegas while I first worked in the local Thai restaurant and then found a stable job working in the food service for 3 years for Sheriff’s Department in Montana. Years later, we had our family fed, and amazing friends were around. Our friends were always asking for our home cooked Thai food at parties. They love our cooking. The appraises of our food from our friends is just incomparable happiness to me and my husband…It was that time, my husband and I realized that we could not ignore the calling among us that we should open a Thai restaurant to spread the good taste and let the food represent our love to people. It also meant we had to give up our stable jobs and start everything again.
