The GOODS from Charm Modern Thai

Vancouver, BC | Desmond Chen, owner of Charm Modern Thai, part of the Thai House Restaurant Group, is pleased to introduce Samnan Kamonroek as the executive chef at Charm. Kamonroek originally joined Charm as sous chef in 2008 when he immigrated to Canada from Bangkok in 2008.

With no formal culinary training, Chef Kamonroek has honed his skills over nearly two decades starting as a kitchen helper as a young teen and progressing quickly through the ranks to executive chef during a 13 year tenure at the five star hotel, The Landmark Bangkok. His specialty is applying authentic, yet modern, twists to classic Thai dishes.

A few of Chef Kamonroek’s latest creations on the menu at Charm include crispy basa fish cooked with bacon, mushroom, and ginger; there’s also pan seared salmon with a Thai green curry linguine; duck breast simmered with red curry; and a fruit and tiger prawn satay with Thai style garlic toast.

In addition to infusing Charm’s menu with new recipes, he also collaborates on the feature sheet with chef Parichat Poomkajorn, the executive chef at Charm’s new sister restaurant, Pink Elephant Thai.

Known as Vancouver’s first modern Thai restaurant and bar, Charm Modern Thai will celebrate its third anniversary this fall. Open for lunch from 11:30 on weekdays, and for dinner nightly, Charm is located at 1269 Hamilton. Visit between 5pm and 6pm and enjoy two for one appetizers.
