Chef Pla Rojratanavichai has headed
the kitchen at some of Sydney’s most
respected and awarded Thai restaurants,
and worked alongside top chefs at hatted
Asian restaurants. Pla’s ambition has
always been to deliver truely authentic
Thai food to Australia, and for the past
twenty years, he has created a unique
approach to Thai cookery, which draws
on his many experiences and influences.
He has a profound understanding of the
often subtle differences in regional Thai
cuisine created by both cultural traditions
and the natural landscape. At the core
of his food philosophy is freshness and
uncompromising quality, and Khao Pla is
the realisation of dream to serve both the
freshest and most traditional Thai food
in a way that is fun and accessible to all.

Curry is undoubtably the
signature flavour of Thai
cuisine. The many cur-
ry bases in Thai cuisine
have been influenced
by a number of cultures
over the centuries to form
their own unique flavour
profiles, and even within
Thailand itself they often
differ dramatically in their
levels of heat and com-
plexity as a result of the
natural ingredients native
to each region. The secret
to a truly authentic sauce
is freshness, and at Khao
Pla, all savoury pastes,
sauces and jams are
homemade with as many
as ten individual spices
and in gradients, and
cooked fresh to
maintain flavour and
quality.
