OUR STORY · DEL & DIA · AO NANG, KRABI
From a Passion for Dough to the World of Del & Dia.
Del & Dia is more than a cafe or bakery. It is a story of passion, craftsmanship, halal values, and a commitment to sharing knowledge through real experience.
Behind the brand is Bung Ib (Surawee Umasa), founder of Del & Dia, known as the “King of Halal Flour.”
What began as a cafe in Ao Nang, Krabi, has grown into a brand bringing together artisan bakery, Napoli pizza, baking education, wholesale bakery products, and professional consulting services.
As our journey continues, one thing remains the same: our commitment to doing things with care and purpose.
Fadel & Fadia
THE BEGINNING
A Family-Inspired Name. A Passion-Driven Brand.
The name Del & Dia comes from the names of Bung Ib's two children, Fadel and Fadia.
What began as a name inspired by family became the identity of a brand built around baking, food, and sharing knowledge.
For Bung Ib, Del & Dia represents more than a business. It carries the meaning of family, dedication, and the desire to build something meaningful for the future.
Our journey began on October 10, 2021, when Del & Dia Cafe first opened its doors in Ao Nang, Krabi.
Over the past five years, Bung Ib and the team have continued to bake, experiment, refine recipes, and learn through hands-on experience every day.
From croissants and artisan bread to a growing range of bakery products, these experiences gradually became the foundation for the next chapters of Del & Dia.

One Passion. Many Possibilities.

Halal principles guide our approach to ingredient selection and food preparation. For us, halal is not simply a marketing message. It is an essential part of how we approach our food business.
Craftsmanship
Every Detail Matters
From dough preparation and fermentation to lamination and baking, we believe great products come from patience, knowledge, and attention to detail.
Continuous Learning
Always Improving
Baking is a continuous learning process. We value experimentation, improvement, and the willingness to keep developing our products and systems.
Sharing Knowledge
Growing Together

Great baking is not only about making something delicious once. It's about building the skills and processes needed to deliver consistent quality.
