Actress Rachel Lobangco has welcomed a new chapter in her life as she has become a Thai chef.

Rachel is now the co-owner and chief executive officer (CEO) of Khun Lek Thai Dining in EP Farm Tagaytay, a restaurant and farm located in Tagaytay City.

Pera Paraan's Susan Enriquez visited Rachel and learned that her passion for cooking is deeply rooted in her genes.

Just like her mother, Elvie Gamboa Pineda, she has a soft spot for food and Thai culture.

Growing up in Thailand, Rachel also goes by the name Khun Lek.

After a hiatus in Philippines showbiz, Rachel studied at the Espresso Academy Thailand with her daughter Leona. She also mastered her skills in Thai cuisine at the Blue Elephant Cooking School in Bangkok, Thailand. She also studied at Enderun College in Manila.

Presently, Rachel pours her heart and soul in introducing Thai cuisine to the Philippines.
