It's the first solo restaurant from one of the co-owners of Daughter Thai.
When she moved to Denver from Thailand to attend school a decade ago, Botthaisong had never been to another country before. Though she'd taken English classes from a native Thai speaker before coming to the United States, she says that learning to speak the language in Colorado was a whole new experience."I started from zero," she notes.
"I don't think I would be here without [Ounjit]," Botthaisong adds."From her, I learned about restaurant culture." She says she's ready to adapt that knowledge for her own concept. Lai Mai is Botthaisong's mother's name."It's a way to feel close to my family and give them a little gift," she says, noting that she had to leave behind everyone she knew when she moved to Denver.
She started working in a kitchen when she was young."I knew how to cook rice at ten years old," she recalls."I can cook rice with my eyes closed." The food at La Mai reflects the kind of home-style dishes she grew up eating and helping to make for her younger sibling. Opening the restaurant has taken over a year; for the last three months, Botthaisong concentrated on perfecting the recipes with her kitchen team.
