The winner of Asia’s Best Female Chef in 2024, Pitchaya ‘Pam’ Soontornyanakij is the owner of a single Michelin star for Potong, a labour of love in Chinatown, where she mines her Thai-Chinese heritage for inspiration. Her latest venture, Khao Sarn Sek, reimagines Thai staples in bold, fresh, ways that she calls a “love letter to authentic Thai cuisine”.
Sai Nam Phueng Chicken Noodles
“This nostalgic spot has been my go-to since childhood. Their dry noodles with stewed chicken wings are served perfectly tender, and the soup on the side, light yet packed with flavour, completes the comforting experience. It’s the kind of place where every bite feels like a hug from home.”

Rungrueang Pork Noodles
“The tom yum noodles with minced pork here are next-level. The spicy, tangy broth is perfectly balanced with pops of umami, and the al dente noodles tie it all together. It’s a quick, satisfying meal that delivers a burst of flavour in every spoonful.”
