Satun:"Baan Ma" restaurant in Satun province offers a unique dining experience with dishes reminiscent of a mother's home cooking. The name "Baan Ma" translates to "Mother's House," and the establishment is operated by a mother with the help of her children, preparing over 50 different dishes. The restaurant sees a steady stream of customers daily.
According to Thai News Agency, Baan Ma Restaurant is situated on Yontrakarn Kamthorn Road in Khuan Don District. It presents a simple yet charming setting, ideal for breakfast, with a comfortable and shaded atmosphere. The menu features local specialties such as sticky rice with salted fish and yellow sticky rice with chicken curry, as well as rice salad, fried rice with chili paste, pan-fried eggs, various porridges, dumplings, dim sum, and other items like fried dough sticks and roti. A wide selection of drinks is also offered to complement the meals.
Ms. Sophia Sadeen, the owner, explained that the restaurant's primary goal was to serve as a gathering place for her seven siblings, who have limited time due to their full-time jobs. To foster family togetherness and avoid their mother feeling isolated, they decided to open Baan Ma. They rented and renovated an old house previously used for drying rubber, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant provides a home-like dining experience with traditional dishes served on hotel-grade tableware, enhancing the appeal.
The restaurant attracts a diverse clientele, including both Thai locals and Malaysian visitors of various ages. It has become particularly popular among families during school holidays. The initial concern about their mother’s loneliness has been alleviated, as the restaurant's varied breakfast offerings keep her engaged. Since opening three months ago, Baan Ma has consistently exceeded expectations, enjoying full patronage each day.
