Thailand

For our first seasonal menu at STREAT, we’re celebrating a country that does street hawker food exceptionally well:Thailand.

Thai culture revolves around food. Thai people are incessant foodies who take pleasure in cooking, seeking out good food, and most of all eating food together. They also go to different places to enjoy specific dishes. Phad Thai has to be eaten at Pratu Peeh (Ghosts Gate) in Old Town. Chinatown is for roast duck. Rice and fish soup happens at Lumpini Park. To travel to Thailand is to appreciate the culture through food and the traditions associated with it. The best trips to the Kingdom involve inclusion in the social enthusiasm and spirit of foodstuffs.

This season we’re including two Thai items on our menu. The first is Thai papaya salad. The second item is Thai prawn red curry, which is a recipe contributed by guest chef Philip Johnson. We’ve shared the recipe on our website, so go home and get cooking.

And if you've got kids, get them into the kitchen making some Thai street food delights with you. Ploi and Somchai who have spent years eating Bangkok street food will show you how to make their Thai tropical kebabs.

Here's a bunch of STREAT friends and supporters in Bangkok. Like us, they think homelessness should STOP.
