Join Mai Thai Executive Chef Justin Scheihing and Mai Thai owner Billy Pothikamjorn for a special pairing event in conjunction with the Boise Ice Cream Festival. They will be featuring a menu special of a dozen Rice Powder Dusted Pacific Fried Oysters paired with a Thai Sriracha Lime Sorbet for $25. The full food and bar menu will also be available at this time.
The special will be a great pairing and will push your understanding of frozen desserts by introducing you to a spicy frozen dessert not normally seen in most typical ice creams and sorbets but that goes really well with the spicy cuisine of Thailand. The sorbet will be a great mix of sweet, spicy, and sour served after your crunchy, salty, umami oysters. This spicy dessert is definitely a notable highlight of the Boise Ice Cream Festival. Thanks to the Mai Thai team for creating it!
The special will be enough for an oyster lover to enjoy by themselves or for a table to order as part of their full order to share.
Diablo and Sons Pastry Chef Rachel Wysong will be making some whimsical flavors of soft serve ice cream. I hear she is working on her new “burnt honey” flavor to pair with Diablo’s fire grill menu offerings so it will be the perfect dessert ending to your meal. We are super excited to taste all the twists she makes.
