Thai Bloom Announces Special New Dishes for Beaverton Restaurant Week

Thai Bloom is debuting several new entrees created especially for Beaverton Restaurant Week (BRW), and only available Sept. 28th through Oct. 8th.  In additional to the two special dishes featured below, Thai Bloom is also debuting two delicious new appetizer items for the Fall.

Special Dishes for Beaverton Restaurant Week:

Steamed Sea bass with Garlic Lemon Sauce

Thai Bloom’s unique featured dish for BRW features a succulent 10-ounce filet of Sea Bass, drizzled with a deliciously spicy Thai chili-garlic-lemon sauce and served atop a bed of fresh asparagus and zesty lemon wheels. This healthful dish, inspired by the ages-old Thai cuisine centered on fresh seafood, is complemented with a colorful and tasty garnish of crispy onion, cilantro and sweet red bell peppers.

Yum Khao Tod

This traditional dish is rarely found outside of Thailand itself, and has been given a special twist at Thai Bloom. Savory ground pork or chicken is blended with deep fried rice, peanuts, ginger, cilantro, onion, lime juice, sugar and fish sauce. This brilliant blend of flavors is a sumptuous traditional Thai food experience, and is served on a bed of crisp Romaine. Until now just a secret kitchen staff favorite, this unique dish will be featured on our Happy Hour menu following its special appearance for BRW.

Tasty New Appetizers at Thai Bloom!:

Thai Fusion Lettuce Wraps

A mildly spicy Thai-inspired take on lettuce wraps, our special recipe minces tender chicken with water chestnuts, white onion, garlic, cilantro roots, chili paste and green peppercorn. Cradled in crispy Iceburg lettuce cups, this dish is expected to be a popular appetizer item, but is substantial enough to be enjoyed as an entrée as well.

Beef Waterfall Salad

We slice a perfectly prepared medium-rare Flank Steak, divided into bite-size portions and skewered, then topped with a vibrant blend of fresh mint and basil, crispy red onion and mixed green salad. The skewers are complemented with a savory sauce featuring, tamarind, rice powder, sugar and fish sauce. Another rarely seen dish, it offers an enticing alternative to the more well-known and commonly served Thai Beef Salad.

“We’re excited to bring these special tastes from traditional Thai cuisine and introduce them to the foodie crowd and Thai food fans right here in the Portland metro area,” said Walter Bowers, Thai Bloom co-founder. “We’re always looking for new dishes that we think our guests will enjoy, and we think these deliciously unique new entrées and special new appetizers will be a huge hit.”
