All roads led to Molito Alabang recently as Sheila Romero, president and CEO of Roku Group, hosted a private party at Nara Thai Cuisine’s southern Metro Manila branch. Gracing the event were members of the diplomatic community, including a number of ambassadors. Sheila owns the exclusive franchise to the renowned and multi-awarded Thai restaurant in the Philippines.

It was a fitting occasion to fete special guests, as Nara Thai Restaurant Molito has been honored with the highly acclaimed Thai Select Seal, a prestigious recognition bestowed by the Ministry of Commerce of the Royal Thai Government.  This mark of recognition guarantees the authenticity of Thai taste in food products and restaurants, both in Thailand and abroad.

Rooted in the vibrant and bustling city of Bangkok, Nara Thai Cuisine has earned a name for itself for its remarkable array of authentic Thai dishes that perfectly embodies the essence of Thai dining traditions. From showcasing the beauty of sharing delectable dishes, indulging in hearty family-style meals, to savoring the harmony of oriental flavors.

Sheila, in her role as restaurateur, has been playing a pivotal role in bringing the sensational flavors of Thailand to the Philippines. Through her leadership, Nara Thai has expanded to two branches (its first branch is in Megamall) offering unparalleled dining experience.  Incidentally, Nara Thai is set to open its third branch soon.

The famed Thai restaurant has become the ultimate destination for food enthusiasts hankering for such dishes as Kang Kiew Wan Nuea (Green Beef Curry), Phad Thai Krob, and Khao Phad Sapparod (Pineapple Fried Rice) get that extra touch leaving guests to come back for more.

Capping off this recent victory was a night of festivity that showcased Thailand’s authentic charm where diplomats and other VIP guests joined in the celebration.   Warm hospitality, exceptional customer service and a carefully crafted menu transported everyone to the heart of Thailand during the event.

His Excellency, Tull Traisorat, ambassador of the Kingdom of Thailand to the Philippines proudly presented the seal to Sheila and Yuki.

Yuki, founder of Nara Thai Cuisine Group, shared with guests her delight in the establishment’s remarkable feat.  She was instrumental in shaping the culinary scene in Bangkok and laying the foundation for the global achievement of Nara Thai.

 “This accolade is not merely a badge of honor. It is a testament to our unwavering dedication to excellence and authenticity in Thai cuisine,” Sheila said. “It is a privilege to have the opportunity to provide employment and foster growth for our staff, many of whom have been with us since the inception of our Megamall branch in 2017. Their dedication and hard work have been instrumental in shaping the identity and success of Nara Thai Molito.” 

She added,  “ As we bask in the glory of this achievement, I am excited to announce our plans for expansion. We eagerly anticipate the opening of our third branch on Pasay Road, in front of SMEG by Park Terraces Tower in the months to come.”

The Thai Select Award is a program of Thailand’s Department of International Trade Promotion, Ministry of Commerce.  It represents the pinnacle of culinary excellence, recognizing restaurants that uphold the highest standards of authenticity, quality and innovation.  With the global popularity of Thai cuisine, the Thai Select Seal serves as a beacon of assurance, guiding discerning diners to establishments of unparalleled Thai quality and authenticity.  Nara Thai Megamall received its second Thai Select Seal almost 2 years ago.  This is the first time for Nara Thai Molito to receive its first seal.
