ELMHURST  A Thai bar will host a tasting to show off the authentic food served by its chefs — and they will send participants home with a recipe and ingredients so they can whip up the delicious fare themselves.

Satika “Cherry” Kanchanamusik, Chompoo Nitmaitaken and their team will whip up authentic Thai street food at their funky Woodside Avenue eatery Pata Paplean next weekend.

On Oct. 18, the restaurant host a pop-up along with food writer and local culinary expert Joe DiStefano, in which they'll serve an eight-course meal and feature demonstrations on Thai culture and cooking.

“This is real Thai food, the type of stuff people eat at home that you can’t get in a restaurant,” said Kanchanamusik.

DiStefano said he couldn't reveal the full menu but "some of it has never been offered in New York City before.”

One item is a beef salad with roasted rice, red onion and mint leaf, and seasoned with lime juice, fish sauce, and chilies, as well as Thai shrimp two ways.

The chefs will also show off some of their cooking techniques, which they learned growing up around kitchens in every regon of Thailand.

Guests will also go home with a recipe and an ingredient so they have a leg up on cooking some of the food they learned about. 

There will be a 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. seating for the pop-up at Pata Paplean, located 76-21 Woodside Ave. Tickets are $80, which includes eight courses and a free drink from the bar. Seating is limited to 12.
