4worldlovers: We had just moved back to New York city from Boulder, CO, and in March 2020, just a month before we opened a Thai street food restaurant, the pandemic hit the city.

But crisis always makes street food what it is. After all, Pad Thai is a dish born during a deep recession in Thai history. So, we decide to rethink street food and start small with selected items for a time like this. Pad Thai and Basil Chicken over rice are two Thai comfort foods that need no introduction. It’s us saying, “Hi neighbors, we are in this together, and we know that you crave these.” Five-spice braised pork is our special treat. It’s sweet and savory Thai-style pork stew. Have it with a poached egg, pickled mustard green, and hot sauce, it might change the way you think about Thai street food. Oh, by the way, we also make very good Thai ice tea. It goes well with any of those dishes.

We are now offering a small dining area and take-out /delivery. In the meantime, we will carefully select and offer many more hidden gems of Thai street food in coming months. Stay tuned and stay safe.

This Javanese dish had spread across Southeast Asia long before it was adapted to Thai taste. Thai curry flavor and coconut milk are added to the peanut sauce, making it richer and stronger than others. Pickled vegetables play an important role in balancing the tastes and cleanse the palate. Satay is a staple of street foods, and in the old days, was sold at food carts across the country. At Terra Thai we pan seared the seasoned chicken meat, top it with our peanut sauce and serve it with pickled vegetables. By itself it is a good appetizer, and with a side of rice, it makes a great meal. We’d let you in on a small secret: Try spreading our peanut sauce over a toasted bread before topping with chicken and pickles.

We cook this signature street food as closely as you can find on the street of Bangkok - fried tofu in basil sauce. Simplicity is the key here. You will be surprised how much flavor is packed in this simple dish.

We stir-fry wide rice noodles with this Suki sauce along with crisp napa cabbage and Chinese celery. It has all flavors that you would expect from a good Thai street food – salty, tangy, sweet and spicy. And, of course, that unique Sriracha flavor.

Pork shoulder is braised until super tender with a Thai version of Chinese five-spice (star anise, cloves, cinnamon, coriander roots, bay leaves.) Thais eat this with rice, poached egg, pickled mustard greens, and chili sauce.

Stir-fried Turmeric Chicken with Caramel Chicken and Rice A set for adventuresome eaters. Southern Thai food is famous for its spicy flavors. The distinct and bold taste of turmeric, lime leaf, and black pepper make this stir-fry a must try. Caramel chicken and rice accompany this dish to tone down the strength of its flavor.

We cook this signature street food as closely as what you can find on the street of Bangkok. Diced chicken or Tofu is stir-fried in basil sauce served with a poached egg over rice. Simplicity is the key here. You will be surprised how much flavor is packed in this simple dish.

This classic green curry is medium spicy, mildly sweet, and salty. It is a little thinner than Panang curry but more tangy. Slightly sweet butternut squash and bamboo shoot help add breadth to the curry. We serve this curry with poached egg and steamed vegetable. Sorry we cannot tone down the spicy level, but if you want it hotter, let us know.

Panang is like a misunderstood kid. It is less spicy and sweeter than green curry, but its flavors are more balanced. We keep vegetables that may water down the flavors as the side dish. Panang is also thicker than other Thai curries - too thick to be eaten alone as a soup. The best way to enjoy it is a few spoonful of Panang over rice, one at a time - the way you’d eat Japanese curry or Indian Saag Paneer. We cook the beef so tender and flavorful that you would not eat it anywhere else.

We pan-fry thin, flat rice noodles and add tamarind-based sauce to make it sweet, salty and sour. Freshly-squeezed lime gives a refreshing tang, while bean sprouts give crunchiness to the dish.
