Crispy pork belly lovers, this one’s for you. ✨
Kana Moo Grob has been added to the PAI menu — a Thai street food classic made with crispy pork belly and Chinese broccoli stir-fried in a savoury garlic sauce, served with fluffy jasmine rice and a Thai-style fried egg on top. 🥬🍚🍳
It’s crunchy, saucy, and especially good once you break that yolk into the rice. 🤤
📍Now available at PAI Downtown and PAI Uptown only.

BEING A FATHER
Everyone is different and sees the world in their own way. So I can always only speak for myself. I love being a father. I actually fantasized over it since high school. I wanted to love people like my parents loved me. I wanted to feel that, I wanted all the responsibility. So when I fell for Nuit and learned that she had a 2 year old son, it didn’t phase me in the slightest. I saw it as a blessing. I might’ve just found the love of my life and I also get to dive right into fatherhood. I was so ready! I’ve always felt like I have the ability to form my own relationships by making the health of the relationship the actual goal and guide to my actions. Not about winning arguments and proving people wrong. So I was confident I would make it all work. I worked so hard for both of them. I of course made Nuit my world but I also did for Phai. He was my son and no one was going to tell me otherwise. When we met, to him I was “Jeff” or “jeyp” (in the cutest Thai accent). And it stayed that way for a few years. Even after we married. Then one day, he sheepishly called me “Dad”, and as soft his voice was, the impact was like a hammer of joy to my heart, pulling on every chord in my throat and gland in my eyes.
With Marlee I got to experience all of the anticipation. I loved being there and learning step by step, book by book, on how to be the best father I could be. But nothing could prepare me for when I held her for the first time. A shaky voice came out of nowhere, straight from my gut, and it said “hi, I’m your daddy”.
In the end, these are just memories I guess. But it’s funny how a memory seems to hit you so physically. That’s why I keep these images and thoughts so close to me. It’s an instant source of happiness and pride whenever I need it. I love being a father, I am so grateful and I will never take it for granted. Happy Father’s Day to all you fathers and father figures. Enjoy your memories and family today❤️

Literally from birth, all of the odds were stacked against you. You were born into a tragedy and you were positioned to be someone your soul would have never wanted you to be. Year after year the hardships continued to stack against you. And one by one, you crushed those hurdles. When most would have given up and settled, you refused it. You continued to put yourself in positions to grow and you put in all of the work. When we met, I now realize that I was the one that jumped onto your ride. Your soul was headed for great things and you tore through every ceiling that presented itself to you. It has been a most amazing journey and such a blessing to see. Today you turn 50 and it seems like you’ve actually started just getting younger and younger. And it seems, once again, that you are just getting started on achieving another lifetime of great things. I’m always so excited to see what you will do next. You are my biggest inspiration and I am your biggest fan. Happy birthday ❤️❤️❤️

What people say
Thai restaurants are known for their bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and unique dishes. And when it comes to Thai cuisine in Toronto, Pai is a name that stands out. Located on Duncan Street, Pai Toronto offers an authentic taste of Northern Thailand with a modern twist.
One thing that sets Pai apart is their commitment to innovation. Chef Nuit and her team are constantly experimenting with new ingredients and techniques to bring exciting new flavors to the table. For example, they recently updated their green curry recipe to include fresh chayote and kabocha squash instead of the traditional bamboo shoots. The result? A deliciously unique take on a classic dish.
But Pai isn't just about pushing culinary boundaries - they also know how to keep things traditional. Just ask Toronto Maple Leafs player , who recently enjoyed a traditional Thai brunch at Kiin Cafe (another restaurant owned by Chef Nuit).
And if you're looking for something truly special, keep an eye out for Pai's exclusive collaborations with other local businesses. They recently teamed up with for a limited-time menu that was sure to delight foodies across the city.
But at the end of the day, what really makes Pai stand out is the passion and dedication of its owner and staff. Chef Nuit's upbringing in Northern Thailand shines through in every dish she creates, and her love for food is contagious. Whether you're a longtime fan or trying Thai cuisine for the first time, Pai Toronto is not to be missed.
