Overview

Baan Mae — meaning Mom’s House in Lao — is a Lao woman–owned restaurant in the heart of Shaw. Created by Chef Seng Luangrath, the visionary behind Thip Khao and Padaek, Baan Mae is a heartfelt homage to home, heritage, and the women who inspire her cooking. The menu draws on deep nostalgia and boundless creativity, reimagining some of Chef Seng’s favorite dishes from across Southeast Asia. Each dish reflects the warmth of her mother’s kitchen and the soul of Lao home cooking — vibrant, comforting, and full of love.
