So I was out late last night...ok real late lol and this one Chinese restaurant I used to like that was open late looks to be shut down ;/ So I decided to drive towards china town as restaurants there are mostly open late. On the way there I passed little Bangkok and noticed a few cars in the parking lot.
I went inside and was the only "Falang" there ;p (Thai term for Westerner which is also there term for guava fruit because it was brought by Portuguese traders over 400 years ago) - yeah I looked it up ;p
There were many Thai people in there and even had karaoke going on which was cool. I was really hungry and asked for recommendations from the waiter. He directed me to the special northern sausage plate and then I wanted a soup as well so I ordered he shrimp coconut curry milk soup maybe a "Tom Kha Shrimp". I of course had to order the fish cakes, because what's an Asian meal without a good fishcake!
The fish cakes (4) came out and they were pretty good as far as fish cakes go, nice green onion and the usual squishy bite.. Love this stuff.
The "Special Northern Sausage" came out with 4 sausages with some cabbage, ginger, peanuts on the plate. It was a "rustic" sausage with chunks of meat and such, a little sweet and a little spice. All in all a good flavor and enjoyable.
The "Tom Kha Shrimp" was the best soup I had had in a while. It was a little spicy from the curry, sour probably from the fish sauce and lime. Yet it was creamy and sweet from the coconut milk, an all-around great combination and it was "off the hook" nommy!
I told the waitress that I enjoyed the food very much and the lady chef came out and asked how things were. I explained the fish cake was good but still a fish cake, the sausage was great and the soup was the best I have had in a good amount of time. She was very pleased.
They gave me a menu with a 15% off coupon for next time I come, and I will. I suggest you give it a try if you like Thai food or want to try something new.
