Being born and raised in the Northern part of Thailand, she has the first-hand experience in vegetable farming and the practice of gastronomic arts. She furthered her studies in nutritional science in Khon Khan University to broaden her scope in the due diligence of food hierarchy.

Hazel’s enthusiasm for food began at the age of 6, while being steered under her mother and grandmother’s guidance. To them, using natural ingredients and balancing taste and color remain the most important. This had then led to Hazel’s desire to create menus that are both pleasing to palate and eyes.

This embodied her with knowledge in HACCP, Asian/European cuisine fine dining, wine pairing and restaurant/hotel operations.

Thanks for lining up Hazel to be my Chef today (in a very short notice), she is very professional and sweet, she brought a bunch of Jasmine to my Kitchen which really lighted up my day. Hazel plate the dish beautifully, and most important of all the dish was very yummy. We really had a good time today, thank you very much.

Chef Hazel did a beautiful job organizing and cooking a dinner for my guests and me. We were all very impressed. Everything from the table setting to the flowers, every detail was attended to. The food was excellent, taste was very nice with dishes that were quite inventive. I would recommend Chef Hazel.

Another enjoyable Sunday brunch I hosted at home! This time I specially ordered both tom yum kung and tom ka gai as we had different preferences in the group. I asked my guests which they would vote for our future Thai gatherings, and they all answered BOTH! Well done Hazel! And of course, the satay, red curry, mango sticky rice are all delicious and nicely presented. there's nothing to complain, the brunch is just perfect

The kids table had spring rolls and satay that were very popular, they almost finished all of them.

Can't wait to see you again, Hazel!

Everyone is impressed by the very rich ingredients Tom Yum Soup, it tastes very good. Basically I like every dish! Tho the curry is a bit too spicy for myself, my husband and guests love it. the vermicelli for the curry is special. It is a delicious, authentic and relaxing lunch at home. Thank you Hazel!

Hazel is an amazing chef. We enjoyed the dinner so much, esp the Tom yum kung soup. Just like what Hazel said you couldn’t find the same taste in other restaurant. We chose the non-spicy version and it was the best tom yum kung we had. Thanks so much for preparing such a great dinner for us.

Contracting MobiChef was a novelty that had given us a most delightful home dining experience. Hazel, the elegant Thai chef, was friendly & courteous, as well as confident, well-organised & professional in the delivery of culinary service.

Hazel has not only demonstrated an artistic flair in table setting & choice of crockery but has also inculcated much personal touches into enhancing the presentation of food. Hence a good harmony was maintained between the use of fresh & authentic ingredients in the cooking of exquisitely fine tasting & beautifully presented dishes that could delight even the most jaded palate!

The charge may be relatively steep. But I would consider it as being value for money when friends can hang out, chit-chat in a relaxed & cosy home environment while enjoying high-quality & professionally prepared cuisine!

這次聚餐的主廚是擅長泰北菜的HAZEL.
菜單比較辛辣清爽, 配偏甜的紅 / 白酒比較好一些.

前菜是生菜包和泰式木瓜沙律, 大廚已把辣度略為控制. 很清爽, 大蝦也新鮮.

泰式排骨湯肉質嫰滑. 主菜的牛排油脂很子, 配紅酒也不錯.

甜品是紅茶焦糖燉蛋. 紅茶香氣很特別.

不錯的選擇. 完全不能吃辣則不能考慮了.

Hazel never disappoints! This is my second time trying her food. Before the dinner I was a bit worried about the portion as nearly all my guests are guys. But it turned out that we are all very very full, and there was even some leftover for my next day LOL

The minced pork appetiser 生菜包, rib soup, and the dessert are my favourite. The spicness is just right and Hazel is very caring, she checked from time to time our acceptance of spicy level. (This dessert is not on the original menu as we communicated with chef to make this change, because the original menu has a dessert I tried last time!)

We are all very satisfied. Hazel is a happy chef, we all enjoyed her food, and smile too :)

We ordered the Thai food lunch for my husband's 40th years old birthday party and we all LOVE it! The chef came 3 hours before lunch time and was very nice and polite. The meal itself included a big fish, rice noodle with prawn, curry crab, and finally a beautiful cake as dessert. The chef made everything from scratch. I'm very happy that I chose her as the chef and we all enjoyed the food. She stayed for 5 hours that day for preparation, serving, explanation, and clean- up. You feel yourself sitting in a 5 star restaurant (of course I think my house is better than the crowded restaurants outside in HK) without all the hassles eating outside. Fantastic meal! Best choice for party, romantic dinner, or any special moment that you want to indulge yourself and your significant others.
