My dream came true!
After much hard work and the incredible support of our community, i'm beyond excited to share that The Happy Porcupine is no longer just a dream—it’s a reality. The restaurant has opened its doors in the heart of Ao Nang, transforming from a simple delivery service into a cozy, welcoming bistro that celebrates the authentic flavors of both Italian and Thai cuisine.
The Happy Porcupine is built on the idea of cultural harmony, where two distinct culinary traditions blend naturally through the universal language of food.
My Italian dishes follow real family recipes passed down through generations and learned directly in Italy, both from professional chefs and from an authentic Italian household. Nothing is improvised: every pasta, every sauce, every flavor comes from genuine experience and true tradition.
At the same time, my deep love for Thai cooking, brings vibrant local flavors shaped by years of passion and practice. These two worlds meet in a kitchen where authenticity and dedication guide every plate.
I'm thrilled to finally welcome you into my little corner of Ao Nang, where every meal is crafted with love, tradition, and a shared commitment to delicious, authentic food
What started in a small kitchen, serving just a few plates each day, has now blossomed into something I’ve dreamed of for so long—a real, physical restaurant. The Happy Porcupine has found its home in Ao Nang, and while my bistro may be modest in size, it’s filled with the heart and passion that has driven me from the very beginning.
Every dish I prepare is a step forward, a piece of the future we’re building together: a future where our cozy little spot becomes a bustling restaurant, bringing the flavors we love to even more people. The community support that helped me grow from a small delivery service to a full-fledged restaurant has been incredible, and it’s that support that continues to shape my journey.
The Happy Porcupine is more than just a restaurant — it’s a family, a dream. And that family includes each and every one of you. I believe that food tastes better when shared, and that dreams are stronger when pursued together. Whether you’ve been with us from the start, or are just discovering our story, your support means the world to me and is the foundation of everything I do.
