Bee's Thai Kitchen

17/06/2025

A few years back, when we first moved from Thailand, Bee and the kids immediately noted “something wrong” with the air. Yes, Thailand is 70-95% humidity. Colorado is more like 30-40%. And so, GALLONS of moisturizer are consumed in our house. Kevin and Bee could not figure out why the pandan plants sent up from Florida kept dying. Well, apparently it’s ALSO the humidity. Problem solved with a mini greenhouse and a desktop humidifier. We hope. We will see if crispy little “Herman” can rally with some new green leaves. We are open today from 11-8:30, 303 523 9623 to call in an order, or online at www.beesthaikitchen.com

Address to a pad Thai. Ahem:

Oh you wondrous dish of noodles!
With your balance of sour with sweet
And crunchy bean sprouts……

(OK, so I am no Robert Burns, and pad Thai is nothing like haggis)

Chef Bee and family are cooking up Down Home Thai at 418 E Simpson St.
Come on down! 303 523 9623 to phone in an order, or online at www.beesthaikitchen.com :-)

Jackfruit is a lovely tropical fruit, about the size of a watermelon and it grows on trees. It is full of sweet refreshing pods, and inside each one is a seed. Kevin is gonna grow some jackfruit in Colorado 🙂. Pots? “We doan’ need no STINKING pots!” Rather than recycle the coconut milk cans right away, we will put them to use for a bit 🙂

Welcome to another week of Down-Home Thai! Today let’s highlight some of Chef Bee’s vegetarian snacks. First we have Summer rolls, made with spring greens, Thai basil, and apple in a rice paper wrap. Served with peanut sauce, and a sweet/tart pistachio sauce. Next, there is fried roti with peanut sauce. Vegetable egg rolls with sweet/sour dipping sauce is always popular. Finally, there is organic crispy (deep fried) tofu served with a peanut sweet/sour chili sauce. 303 523 9623 to phone in an order, or online at www.beesthaikitchen.com

Hi Everybody! First, thank you for all of your help over on our NextDoor business page. So many people have mentioned your favs and recommendations when they come in! Next, we now have the back patio ready for guests. We will be getting some bowls for doggie water back there very soon, so socially adept pooches are welcome.
We do not have enough staff to provide table service to the patio, but you are welcome to pay in advance, and we can give you a pager, or bring your meals back.
The patio area serves as the Summer Garden for Chef Bee. This is where her Thai basil, Kaffir lime, lemongrass, flowers, rosemary, pandan, mango, and papaya grow. At the rate the banana trees are growing, they will soon need to move back there as well :-)

Good morning everybody! Well, as the song says, “It looks like we’ll be blessed with a little more rain” (Johnny Cash, Five Feet High and Rising). It seems like this Spring has been rather on the cool and damp side, eh? Well, nothing do do but wait for the sun to come out…..Tomorrow! https://youtu.be/rHZCSYBNytk?si=4W-JAGmSa4SNDt02. We are open today. 303 523 9623 to call in an order, or online at www.beesthaikitchen.com

Hi everybody. We could use a hand with “recommendations” for our restaurant in Nextdoor. If any of you use that site, could you please look up the Bee’s Thai Kitchen Page there and give us a review and recommendation? We greatly appreciate the help :-)

Bacon is a fairly popular item. In fact, there is even a meme that “everything is better with bacon”. That may or may not be true, as I have never enjoyed bacon as an ice cream topping, for example. Nevertheless, in Thailand bacon is called “crispy pork belly”, (moo Samchan). There are restaurants in almost every town that specialize in “bacon recipes”. Chef Bee makes AWESOME moo samchan, and offers it as a stand-alone appetizer (Thai bacon on our menu), as well as a protein option in almost all recipes. There is actually one recipe, ka na moo krob, which is specific to crispy pork belly. 303 523 9623 to phone in an order, or online at www.beesthaikitchen.com

Chef Bee has now approved the Green Tea, and Strawberry ice cream flavors in addition to vanilla/coconut, chocolate, watermelon, and mango flavors. We are packing ice cream in 6 oz cups for now. We are sure that Summer will get here one of these days and make a nice ice cream cup a welcome treat.
We are open and serving today 11-8:30 at 418 E Simpson St, Lafayette. 303 523 9623 to phone in an order, or online at www.beesthaikitchen.com
