If the “Wabi-Sabi” philosophy is ingrained into the Japanese cultural identity, then one could say that the essential core of Mellow Thai & Mo:Mo King are these very three schools of thought:
As you eat, so you are (gan gin gan yu).
Food bears edible wisdom. We want the dishes we offer help everyone become a little more as they are; take on our Cajun Chicken Salad’s loyalty to balance, its resolute commitment to harmony…
We cook to talk.Cooking for us is an act of communication. Take our Drunken Noodle with sweet basil, it is, in a deepest sense, an essay on the passion and love we feel for cooking and serving…`
Food is a remedy. Good food nurtures our body, mind and soul… Just as it keeps us in equilibrium with earth, water, wind and fire. As in the ancient Thai Philosophy, we prepare dishes with your good health and well-being in mind. Food, for us, is preventative medicine.
We believe that the point of cooking and eating in general is to offer therapeutic assistance; it should help us to better endure and enjoy our lives.
