A Sunrise Story
It all began with tortillas.
In 2007, Greg Lange set out to change the word on the street that said ‘There is no good Mexican food to be found in Bangkok’. The answer boiled down to one simple thing: tortillas — real corn tortillas, not the tasteless and brittle harina found in the markets.
Today we make 50 kilos plus of fresh corn tortillas every day in Bangkok using nixtamalization — 100% corn, non-GMO, without preservatives, lard, vegetable shortening, gluten or salt.
“We don't buy our flour tortillas. We make them.” Why we make our own tortillas →
“It’s like the difference between making instant mashed potatoes and making mashed potatoes from real potatoes.”Greg Lange — Owner and FounderRead our story What is nixtamal?
Cooking
Corn is cooked in water and lime — nixtamalization, practised in Meso America for thousands of years.
Cleaning
The nixtamalized corn is washed at different rates for the desired consistency.
Grinding
A stone grinder turns the corn into fine, moist masa.
Kneading
The masa is kneaded until it has the perfect texture.
