Explore every delicious dimension of Thai cuisine with Chef Jasvir Sanghera (Chef Mama Duu), a spirited lady chef with a deep love and respect for the national dishes who practices her art and craft at Pirom Restaurant, InterCon­tinental Hua Hin Resort.
​

As someone who always strives to do better, Jasvir picks up coveted prizes along the way. There was the Silver Medal she won at the Culinary Art Exhibi­tion, her appointments as Honorable Chef presiding for Thai Airways Interna­tional and the Tourism Authority of Thailand, and her Bronze Medal in fruit carving at IFHS. And she still found time to satisfy the rigorous standards of the Society of Public Health Inspectors, Singapore.
