NARIN KULASAI
Narin Jack Kulasai is the chef and co-founder of Thai restaurant “Porkfat”. Growing up in Central of Thailand, Kulasai spent time perfecting his craft alongside with the renowned Chef David Thompson at Nahm Restaurant in Bangkok, before Bennelong restaurant with Chef Peter Gilmore and Chef de Cuisine at Long Chim Sydney, Jack brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in the art of Thai cooking.
Porkfat was open in 2022 because he really missed the delicious Thai flavours he grew up with. His menu at Porkfat changes regularly, bringing different tastes from his hometown of “Saraburi" and all over Thailand to Sydney, offering both family-style and street-style Thai cooking.
The menu is a love letter to Thailand, using fresh ingredients from the markets to create dishes from all regions of the country. True to its name, pork fat is a key ingredient in Jack's cooking, which was a staple of Thai cuisine before commercial cooking oil became popular.
At Porkfat, the experience is more than just about the food. Thai music sets the mood, and guests can watch the cooking action from the mezzanine level. The dishes are served on beautiful hand-painted ceramics from Thai Artist “Tan Thichitang" Wiang Kalong, Chiang Rai, Thailand, creating a cosy atmosphere of Thai hospitality.
For Jack, dining at Porkfat is about sharing the warmth and joy of Thai culture. Guests are welcomed as part of the family and invited to experience the true spirit of Thailand with every visit. Come join Chef Jack and the Porkfat team for a taste of home away from home.
