APINARA OPENING PARTY

A typhoon couldn’t stop the crowd turning out for the opening of Apinara

For her latest venture, restaurateur Pearl Shek wanted to bring authentic spicy Thai flavours to the city. She’s teamed up with Narawadee (Yuki) Srikarnchana of the acclaimed Nara Thai Cuisine in Bangkok to open Apinara in Pacific Place. Typhoon Haima may have been lashing the city on opening night but it didn’t stop a large crowd of family and friends turning out for drinks, dinner and a traditional Thai puppet show to celebrate.
