| - I want to keep Glai Baan all to myself! Alas, now you will know my deep secret, for this Thai food place is your next date night bistro, friend catch up scene, or place to take out of town diners.
Tucked away on Osborn and 24th, this itty bitty restaurant is cozy, romantic, dimly lit, and the setting for homecooked Thai food. We ordered three starters: steamed pork dumplings, papaya salad with crispy pork belly, and pork skewers in coconut milk and garlic - really, are you salivating yet?
As mentioned before, everything tasted homecooked, and delicious. The steamed pork dumplings were made with love while the pork skewers were plump and tender. The papya salad was not far behind with fresh, crisp vegetables and yummy pork belly.
For the entrée, I ordered the Kapro Gai Kai Dao, or the minced chicken with onion, garlic, chili, Thai basil, egg, and rice. It sounds like a simple dish but this was jam-packed with flavor and complexity. It was one of the best Thai entrees I've had in a long time!
Finally, I also ordered The Anywhere Door for my choice of beverage, which had Thai tea with rum. The flavors surprisingly went very smoothly together, and I sipped on it fairly quickly, so it was gone before I knew it.
Do yourself a favor and treat 'yo self to Glai Baan. If you're a Thai food fan or foodie, you definitely won't regret it!
