Wine & Thai with Maile - Owner and Executive Chef of Maile’s Thai Bistro

Maile’s culinary career was inspired by watching her mother and family cook traditional Lao, Thai and French food. Family gatherings people sat together sharing a few dishes and eating sticky rice, shredding green papaya and making mouthwatering salads along with meats with herbs of lemongrass, mint, basil and dill. Maile learned all the traditional recipes and then started experimenting with different ingredients. Maile’s culinary repertoire flourished at Thai Chef in Lahaina, Mekong Thai Restaurant and Paesano Ristorante Italiano in Manoa. She became Managing partner at Assaggio Ristorante Italiano in Hawaii Kai and there she started experimenting with mixing Asian spices with Italian ingredients. @mailesthai @mailesthaibistro #mailesthaibistro #mailesthaiward #mailesthaihawaiikai
