Today in My Lunch
My friend Paul and I went to the sister restaurant of our favorite Thai hole-in-the-wall today for lunch. Our place is currently undergoing some rather significant remodeling so we are reduced to lunching across the street in the slightly higher-priced, somewhat fancier place which is owned and run by the same people. Our familiar wait staff are working over there now too.
We walked in and the place was packed and noisy. I decided I wanted to splurge and get not only a Thai Iced Tea (delicious) but also some spring rolls (yummy). I noticed that they had brown rice on the Sides menu (I did say fancier) so I asked for brown instead of steamed along with my ginger chicken (surprisingly less tasty than normal). Our waitress wasn't writing anything down so I just knew one of us was going to have something wrong with our order. Of course, me requesting no bell peppers in my entree didn't help either. But, hey, I like what I like.
Our orders came and, yes, we both had white rice. Bummer. Next time I guess.
As you know, we love Thai food. Apparently V loves it too. I ordered Curry Pad Thai the other day and V was very upset if I wasn't giving her any noodles. She got very excited when we shared the leftovers too.
ReplyDeleteI have never had a curry pad thai. Is it more like a curry or more like a pad thai? Meaning, is it wet or dry?
ReplyDeleteIt is pad thai but with a yellow curry sauce taste rather than the regular peanut sauce. I think it is the same sauce but with the curry in it. I think it tastes a lot like chicken korma.
ReplyDeleteI bought some korma sauce the other day but I never made it and the chicken I got to use with it has gone bad I think so I may have to stop by the store and get some more. I have high hopes for this sauce because it says mild, coconut sauce on the label.
