Paul and Sandy Kunpitukwattana believe life is too short to eat bad food. Originally from Thailand, the siblings have always shared a passion for cooking, learning the richly varied cuisine of their homeland from an early age. In addition to holding diplomas in hospitality and management, both are qualified baristas. Sandy also has extensive baking experience, and a natural flair for pastry making. The pair moved to Australia over 10 years ago and while they instantly fell in love with the country, they were not so enamoured with some of their dining experiences. Tasteless, overpriced food and bad service left the pair feeling somewhat disappointed.

Deciding to put their training to good use, Paul and Sandy fulfilled a long held dream by opening their own eatery, a welcoming place where they could cook and serve the homestyle Thai food they loved. The result is Wrap n Rice Thai Cafe. Starting out in Cottesloe, the little cafe soon became a huge hit, with diners drawn to the delicious Thai cuisine, wonderful hospitality and excellent prices. The cafe’s popularity continued to grow, so much so that the duo opened a second location in North Perth last year.

Wrap n Rice serves all the traditional Thai numbers you know and love, with a few Asian fusion dishes thrown into the mix. It also makes the best rice paper rolls this side of the Mekong! The secret lies in a unique type of rice paper that is just the perfect consistency – not too thick, not too thin. Each roll is then filled with the freshest, tastiest and most creative combinations you can imagine. Selections include salmon and tamarind; gado gado and caramelised pork & coriander. Save some room to try one of Sandy’s delectable homemade cakes – they are really something special.

With loads of daily specials and plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options, including wraps, salads, stir fries and curries, it’s easy to eat healthy. If you’re having a party or office function, ask about the Wrap n Rice catering platters.

For fantastic food and Thai hospitality, you can’t go past Wrap n Rice.
