About Chef

              At the center of Luv2Eat are Noree Pla and Fern Kaewtathip, chefs and business partners who decamped from Hoy-Ka Thai Noodle last year to open their own restaurant. The duo grew up as childhood friends in Phuket, eating the same spice-forward cuisine that became the bedrock for their menu at Luv2Eat. While Kaewtathip helms the kitchen, Pla usually works the front of the house, pushing her house-made desserts ranging from a custardlike cappuccino pudding to fresh durian simmered with coconut milk and sticky rice, both addictive in totally different ways.
