“There are no obstacles for the reason that every thing is a fun experience”. Very first thirty day period of opening was not yet common. Maybe LeDu’s design is something new. Even Thais are not famously deciding on to take in Thai meals for distinctive instances. But with clarity in the concept conciding with a group of persons who satisfying with the notion of the chef, casusing LeDu to gradually get much more clients till it became widely regarded. In the starting, the group was smaller with only a couple emplyees. You have to do everything your self. But within just a calendar year the crew was larger and extra all set. Our chef “Ton” under no circumstances stopped. He usually inventing new menus, due to the fact Chef Ton never ever see LeDu as the very best.
