The Kitchen Tour

So here's where I have been spending my days (and nights) the past few weeks. Lots of scrubbing, moving, sanitizing, organizing and love from a lot of people= one pretty awesome kitchen. 

Everyone who comes into the kitchen first visits the hand washing station, complete with paper towel and soap dispensers- quite possibly the first of its kind in Chiang Mai

Dry Storage. (it takes a lot of effort to keep everything dry in this humidity!)
The oven, affectionately called "The Beast." I asked them how long it takes to light it, and they said until for-ev-er! 
Almost certainly the first 3 compartment sink in Chiang Mai.  With hot water!!! 


Our two lovely work surfaces (yes, that's granite!). . . on the wall is an air con unit! 
The cleanest deep freezer in Thailand- a few weeks ago, it didn't used to be white. . .
Sparkly clean refrigerator and wine cooler (we use it for produce and beverages)

6 burner stove and. . . that's right- a griddle! And a hood with and exhaust fan 
Our beverage prep/table setting station. We store all the dishes behind these doors
The breakfast bar for our early waking guests 
The beverage station
One of our lovely tablesWouldn't you love to have breakfast here? 
Almost all of the kitchen equipment  was donated by an amazing couple from Singapore when their restaurant went out of business. We pretty much love them ;)
