| - I always wanted to try this place, but Kingston is just too out of the way for me, so when I heard they opened one up at VP, I definitely wanted to try. I brought my Ma/Dad to try this place out for lunch on Sunday. It was empty with one customer there at the time. My parents weren't really that hungry, so we didn't order much...=(
I got the 'Thai Iced Tea'.($3.5) Its a Sweeeetttt milk tea like. My parents both said its too sweet for them, I tried a few thai tea at Pai, Sukhothai, so its alright. I think 'Pai' has the sweetest thickest thai tea for sure...Makes you thirsty a bit too.
Got the 'Chicken Satay' ($6) for two skewers w/ peanut sauce. The chicken were moist and plumped, but the peanut sauce is a bit runny and not that great.
Parents got the lunch special on til 3pm... Pad Kee Mao ($8). Its basically flat rice noodle cooked in basil flavouring, and there's green long beans, peppers, egg, and your protein, in our case chicken. I didn't try this dish, but my parents said its alright...Not too impressed. I was beginning to feel bad that I brought them to a dud place...
I got their 'pad gra pao' w/ minced chicken ($10) Its steam rice, with minced chicken and thai basil aroma, with a fried egg on top. Its not that bad. I asked for medium spice, and it definitely had spice. I'd say it can be considered spicy for ppl that don't handle spice well.
Our bill came to $37+, and my parents are surprised it cost this much for the limited amount of food we ordered hahaha (parents use to chinese style 5-6 course for $40) =)
The bill has an interesting tip mentioning if you gave 10% tip it would equal that to your bill or 15%, or 20% or higher...My parents wanted to give 10%, but I felt bad b/c its new and server has barely any business, so I opted to give more...11% suckaaaa!!!! joking... I gave 15%! I probably wanna come back and try their pad thai and other stuff next time...Expect to sit on plastic chairs too...Set-up and area is very basic.
