| - I have been going to Khmer Thai Restaurant, a little hole in the wall joint on St. Claire West, for the past couple years. It first started as a random quick soup pick up en route to a class being held down the street. Little did I know that my impromptu snack would evolve into a repeat customer craving.
The first soup that got me hooked was the Hot and Sour Bamboo soup with bamboo shoots, chicken, eggplant, long beans and rice. It was unbelievably flavourful and spicy as hell. You need the full bowl of rice to complement the peppery taste.
On subsequent returns, I have tried the Kakao Khmer with chicken, green papaya, green chilli, egg plan and beans, the Chicken with Ginger, the Spicy Tofu and a couple other dishes. The owners use fresh, simple combinations where you can actually decipher what you are eating in terms of spices/flavour. Very little oil and reasonably priced. It is the most authentic Thai/Cambodian food that you are going to find in Toronto, I assure you.
