New York's Rua Thai 🌟

🏙️Ground Beef Basil Fried Egg Over Rice The ground beef is lean but packed with flavor and a good chew. The beef here has a savory taste with minimal sweetness (a refreshing change from the usual sweetness in Southeast Asian dishes). The over-easy egg, when broken and mixed with the rice, adds a rich aroma. 🍖 🎢 Drunken Noodle This dish is a simple yet extraordinary delight! Similar to Cantonese rice noodles, these are flat and wide with a nice chew, not mushy at all. It feels like you’re instantly transported to a bustling Thai night market filled with the aroma of street food. Everyone agreed this dish was truly stunning! 🌟 🍃 Crying Tiger If you, like me, enjoy beef with a bit of fat and tendon, don’t miss this. The peanuts and the signature seasoning elevate the flavor to the next level! The tri-color rice is a pleasant surprise. 🍖 🌸Mango Coconut Sticky Rice It’s mango season, and the fruit is sweet and plump. The glutinous rice is soft and dense, paired with coconut milk for a warm, sweet, and slightly salty finish that’s simply unforgettable. 🍓 After a satisfying meal, we headed to Dumbo to stroll and watch the sunset. 🌇 The average cost per person was just over $30 for seven dishes, and the generous vegetable portions felt like a hot pot side dish. Such honest value makes it worth the trip to Brooklyn, even if you’re not in Manhattan. 🌆 📍 Rua Thai #NYCEats #NYCFoodie #Brooklyn 🌟
