Suburban Life Magazine Features Chef Moon in their October 2021 Issue

Suburban Life Magazine did a feature on Chef Moon and placed her on the cover of their October 2021 issue.

Chef and restaurateur Moon Krapugthong acknowledges that it’s been a tough few years for the restaurant industry. In spite of many challenges, life at her two Manayunk restaurants—Chabaa Thai Bistro and Yanako Hot Kitchen & Sushi Bar BYOB—is moving forward, and upward, with the lessons taken away from this trying time.

Chef Moon’s winter specials make venturing out into the bitter cold OH so worth it…

Whether you’re heating up over a Tom Sabb Salmon and Seafood Hot Pot for two, or soaking up every last drop of your massaman curry—you MUST try Moon’s Cornish Hen Casserole—with freshly-baked roti bread, you’ll be glad you made the decision to join us. Craving food from Yanako, too? You’re in luck. Check out our 3-course New Year prix fixe menu (options from Chabaa and Yanako), available for the next couple weeks!

*Both menus are for dine-in only.

CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CHEF: Chabaa Thai Is Back!

On an unseasonably warm October evening, I’m enjoying refreshing sips of pandan leaf-infused iced tea and sharing easy conversation with Moon Krapugthong in her new Binto Market & Café as customers flow in and out and gentle piano music fills the air. Radiating warmth, Chef Moon is infinitely more laidback and approachable than I expected of the owner of two of the most esteemed restaurants in Manayunk—Chabaa Thai and Yanako.
