Portland Authentic Thai Cuisine Favorite Opens Food Cart Featuring Rarely Served “Special Menu” Dishes

The newly opened Thai Bloom! cart in Beaverton features rarely seen Thai recipes previously only served as in-restaurant specials and seasonal offerings

(Beaverton, OR – April, 2018)Thai Bloom!, one of Portland’s most popular authentic Thai food restaurants, has opened a new food cart featuring rarely available dishes previously only offered as limited seasonal specials at their sit-down locations. The cart also features a selection of their signature traditional Thai dishes, soups, and salads, but at ‘cart-level’ pricing. Also (unlike regular restaurant entrees), every signature dish item will include a personal-sized portion of one of their hugely popular appetizers or salad. This gives customers the opportunity to taste even more delicious Thai recipes than ever before, quickly and inexpensively.

“Many of these rarely served dishes require much more prep time before we open, and feature special ingredients compared to more well-known favorites such as Pad Thai, which is partly why we don’t feature them as standard menu items in our restaurant,” said Faye Chaiyabutr, Thai Bloom catering manager. “We feel these rare, traditional Thai dishes, plus the chance to try so many of our most popular menu items and appetizers at take-away pricing, makes this a unique new addition to the local food cart scene.”

Special dishes include scrumptious authentic Thai recipes such as crispy Thai Katsu Chicken, grilled Salmon Green Curry, Crispy Pork, and Hainanese Chicken Rice. Side dish choices (free with every signature menu item) are Veggie Spring Roll, Chicken Potsticker, Fried Tofu, Chicken Satay, or Green Salad. The full cart menu including even more ‘special dish’ descriptions (and photos!) can be found at the links below.
