Mid-January, I pull into the parking of a strip mall to which I’ve been directed, just north of the Galleria mall off the Dallas North Tollway. A few days prior, I placed my order on Instagram. Now I’m in a vast stretch of surface parking under a sign for Bed Bath & Beyond and Nordstrom Rack. I text the details of my car small, grey Honda Civic and Sara Hangtagool, the one-woman powerhouse behind Thid Jai, brings out a paper sack. On another occasion, she carries a half-gallon jug of bright orange Thai tea to my car.
