| - You know those nights you can't be bothered to cook?
Or put on makeup? Or blow out your hair? Or put on a bra? Or take off those Yoga pants that are comfortably plastered to your behind?
This was me on a Saturday night after competing in a Track and Field meet in Coolidge earlier that day. And it seemed Andrew C. was on the same page after an extended day at work.
"Why not Thai food?" I remember Monica O. and Cheryl B. had raved about Thai Chili, so I pulled up the menu.
Turns out they do take-out! YES, LOW MAINTENANCE EVENING!
We called and ordered the Mussamun Curry with chicken at Thai Hot level 8, and the Drunken Noodles with chicken at Thai Hot level 6.
Made the trek out to Gilbert. Friendly cashier, and she gladly accepted the 5% off your order with a Yelp check-in. Seems like they do a lot of carry out here, but there was a nice dining area.
This stuff smelled heavenly. Was practically drooling on the drive home.
Got home, popped open a bottle of wine and our to-go containers.
Holy smokes, this stuff was HOT. Like, open the containers and your eyes start running hot.
The Mussaman Curry was my favorite of the two. Beautiful, rich, creamy orange color. Savory coconut milk, tender chicken, carrots and potatoes. The only weird thing was the potatoes seemed to have this funky taste, like they were freeze dried.
While the Drunken Noodles were delish and a good balance of chicken and vegetables, the dish didn't seem to be very saucy. Dry, almost.
Also, ironically, the Drunken Noodles which we ordered at a lower heat level than the Mussaman Curry were unbearably hot (at least for me)! Maybe they mixed them up?
Either way, it was reasonably priced and a great discovery. I anticipate we'll be back again and again . . . Lazy night in or nice night out!
