Green peppercorn shrimp and calamari has got to be the house joke. Three tiny shrimp, not even measuring an inch in diameter, along with rings of Calamari so minuscule they resembled small rubber bands. Not kidding.
Why, half the fun of eating calamari is grossing your friends out by hanging all the tentacles halfway out of your mouth - then sucking them back in - in a mighty swoosh.
Major disappointment, no swooshing.
Malee's.
If you think your fabulous sauces are going to wow me, getting me to overlook how you just cheated me out of fifteen bucks, you're wrong.
I don't like gnawing on lemongrass sticks either. Leave them out. They do nothing for the presentation, save for tricking your average Thai food novice into taking a bite.
This would be like an American restaurant leaving bay leaves in everything and having Thai people thinking its something you eat.
Shame on you.
I didn't like the Spinach Chicken either.
Same chicken base and sauce as is in many of the other chicken dishes, only it's ladled over fresh, uncooked spinach leaves.
You couldn't have put less effort into this dish if you tried.
This is the Vanna White of Thai dishes.
Maybe this is how you survive the summer months when the tourists are gone.
I'm out.
