Haw Mokk (Steamed Curry)

Spicy Curry Topped with Smooth, Silky Coconut Milk: Vegan Heaven, Right Here in NYC!

Let’s talk Haw Mok—or as we like to call it, a spicy, creamy, flavor-packed bite of Thailand! Traditionally served in banana leaf cups, this steamed curry dish is a street food icon in Thailand. But at May Kaidee NYC, they've taken it to the next level with a vegan twist that’ll have you questioning how plant-based food can taste this good!

Typically made with fish, May Kaidee swaps it out for tofu, creating a healthier, plant-based version that doesn’t skimp on flavor. Think: tender tofu steamed with Thai herbs like lemongrass, kaffir lime, chili, and galangal, all wrapped in a blanket of rich, velvety coconut milk. Spicy, fragrant, and served with warm brown rice—it’s a whole vibe.

If your taste buds are ready for a trip to Thailand (without leaving the city), head over to May Kaidee and try this plant-based wonder. And as a bonus, you might just be greeted by Chef May herself, in her traditional Thai attire, ready to serve up some vegan magic.
