Thai Towne

12 October 2008

You know the food is going to be authentic when the waitstaff have heavy accents, if they speak any English at all.
Beef Salad (Nua Nam Tok)The beef salad was excellent.  Tender pieces of beef, flavorful, I could’ve just had this for dinner.

Seafood Kra PraoThe basil seafood (kra prao) was good too. Although it would’ve been better had they cooked the onions more thoroughly to take the bite out of them.  I’m still tasting it in my mouth after brushing my teeth, using mouthwash, and chewing gum.  Hhhaaaaa!! Get a whiff of THAT!  

Yellow Curry

The yellow curry onions were fine though, well-done.  I loved the sauce over rice and the crunch of the peanuts.   

Thai food in general is a tad spicy but you can ask them to turn down the heat. They’re very accomodating. I thought these dishes came with the perfect amount of hotness.

A group of junior high/high school kids came in and sat around noisily while their teacher/chaperone tried to keep them in one place.  No dice.  Thai was too out there for them.  They wound up next door at, of all places, McDonald’s. They missed out on a good dinner!
