A fork in the road for street youth

Travelling across Asia you learn again and again that “hello” or a friendly greeting translates to “have you eaten rice yet?”

This greeting illustrates the vital role of rice in sustaining half the world’s population, but also acknowledges the responsibility of people to nourish one another.

You’ll eat over 80,000 meals in your lifetime, and not even remember most of them. Few, if any, will be life changing for someone else. But you can make a difference in someone’s life by buying a meal at STREAT.

We love street food

The food we sell is street food from around the globe. Why? Because we love it.

We eat it at the office over meetings, or after we've been testing new dishes for our menu. We go out and have it together as a group, often sharing adventure tales and stories of amazing meals around the globe. We've even ended up with an initiation of sorts when new team members try an amazing fish-head laksa. Eyeballs and all. 

Why do we love street food so much? We couldn't say it better than Tom Kime in his book Street Food.

 “To get a feel for the beating heart of any community, and to begin to understand a culture different from your own, you need to experience the food. The best way to experience the real food that fuels and drives a community…is to sample the street food. The food from roadside stands, markets, open-air stalls, carts and wagons, and small cafes and bars captures the essence of life in that culture. This food is available 24/7, not just put on because there is a guest. It is real, robust, and a gauge of how people live and what values are important to the community.”
