Our mom is BACK from Thailand! 🇹🇭❤️

And you know what that means… our kitchen is about to be filled with all the authentic Northern Thai dishes we grew up eating again!

The kind of food that tastes like childhood, home, and Mom’s cooking. 🥹💚 We’ve missed these flavors so much!

Welcome home, Mom! Now please excuse us while we prepare for some serious weight gain. 😂🤣

Well last time he had PadThai. This time he’s enjoying his homemade Belgian Chocolate Tiramisu 😁 LeonidasCantonCT

It’s getting cooler outside and we need some good curry to warm us up after a long day working. Should I make this special Massamun curry again this week?

The Friday Night Boys 😂🐶

It’s not only Margo, Lucy & Piper who are happiest when they get the same shift… these three gentlemen are exactly the same!

Put Kai, Jools & Kayleb together in the kitchen and suddenly we have three puppies who argue about absolutely EVERYTHING. 😂 Who’s right, who’s wrong, who did what, who started it… meanwhile, somehow, the work still gets done!

And honestly? When these three work together, they’re our little dream team. 💚 Dishes are handled, floors are clean, supplies are stocked, and they help me so much in the kitchen that our busy Fridays feel a whole lot easier.

Of course, they also spend half the night arguing with our front-of-house girls… apparently that’s part of their job description too. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

They’re loud. They’re crazy. They annoy each other. They annoy the girls. But we love having them here. Without these three, Friday nights would be way too quiet… and Dirk and I would probably be crawling home by the end of the night. 😂

NEW APPETIZER: Kai’s Drunken Tofu! 🌶️

It started as a Wednesday snack. While we were waiting for customers, Kai made himself some spicy fried tofu and offered us a taste. One bite and we knew it had to go on the menu!

Crispy tofu with a savory, sweet, spicy sauce and just a little tang—it’s so good you’ll want every last piece. We’re proud of Kai for creating something this delicious.We love watching our young team learn, experiment, and grow in our kitchen. And we’re especially proud when something they create becomes part of The Green Papaya. 💚

So please welcome Kai’s Drunken Tofu—made by one of our Green Papaya kids and approved by the whole family. 🥹🌶️

🌱 Vegan & Gluten-Free

Come try Kai’s creation and show our boy some love! 💚

Our Sour Pork Fried Rice is one of the most special dishes Mom and I created together. We were missing our hometown in Northern Thailand and thinking about the homemade sour pork my aunt used to make for me when I was little. Even after all these years, I can still remember that flavor so clearly.

At first, we weren’t sure if we should put this dish on our menu. It’s such a personal, home-style flavor from our family, and we didn’t know how everyone would feel about it.

But then we thought… it’s simply too good not to share! 😂❤️

And seeing so many of you fall in love with this dish makes us incredibly happy. Every plate feels like we’re sharing a little piece of our home, our childhood, and our family with you.

We’re always talking about our young team… but today, let’s introduce you to one of the amazing women behind the scenes — Jum! ❤️

Jum is basically the back-of-the-house mama… or should we say babysitter? 😂 She helps keep all of us in line!

So much of the prep that goes into your meals passes through Jum’s hands. Vegetables, crispy chicken, sesame chicken, duck — she’s behind the scenes cutting, prepping, cleaning, and helping me guide our younger team in the kitchen.

And the crazy part? She also works at Marshalls and still finds time to come help us on the weekends! 🥹

Jum is one of the kindest, most hardworking women you’ll ever meet, and she is truly adored by everyone here. Our young team loves her, and Dirk and I are so grateful to have her as part of our crazy little Green Papaya family.

Thank you, Jum, for everything you do behind the scenes. ❤️🌿
