A full house with quiet chatter, clanking dishes and
the wafting aroma of goodness yet to come. Invited by fellow foodie
and toastmaster, Natalie Hill, this made for the perfect sunset to a long work
week.
There was so much to choose from on the menu and I honestly didn’t know where to begin. Wanting to try something new, but something I was confident I would eat proved to be a challenge. The visual menu had my mouth watering before I even had a sip of water. Natalie took the lead with the appetizers edamame and spring rolls. Try the iced Thai tea she suggested. I did not try the edamame but it wasn’t for any particular reason, I just didn’t. But the spring rolls tasted like they had been freshly rolled in the kitchen with veggies. Light, flaky and fresh. It was only 90 degrees that evening so a nice cool drink of iced Thai tea was a really good choice. We both sipped really slow so that we would have room for our dinner.
Pad Krapow with jasmine rice was my main dish and my mouth was ready. Spice levels were from 1-10 and I asked for mild spice, no number. That was a mistake. I should have taken a chance and at least picked 2. I love spicy food but I have learned the hard way that those spice levels are subjective. Even with no spice level I could still taste the pepper, garlic and other spices that made the dish a hit. Not only that, I could see the the ingredients. Now I must go back to have it again but with a little spice. Then maybe another visit after that so I can pick something else from that visual menu.
If there was anything that could
have been better, I would say the wait time from ordering to
serving. I didn’t time it but it felt like a really long
time. Could have been because they were close to capacity or because
the aroma had me eager to get a taste. Possibly. And for
these reasons I would not hold that against them. Besides, I was
with really good company and the time was a great opportunity for us to catch
up. Overall, this was a really good experience and we both left very
satisfied and with lunch for the next day.
