"Chiang Mai is so known for its flowers that it is sometimes called “the rose of the North.” Anya Potiwat is working to extend that influence into the area’s cuisine.

Ms. Potiwat owns Saimok Kab Dokmai (“mist and flowers” in Thai), a 50-seat restaurant specializing in floral cuisine. There she serves spicy rose petal salads, spring rolls stuffed with begonias and pansies, and crepe-fried platters of roses, hibiscus, banana flowers and frangipanis."
