| - With a $40 deal voucher on hand, Dora P and I were ready to indulge.
Started off with the Avocada smoothie and the Coconut soup w/ chicken. The smoothie was delicious. Probably the best one I've tried so far. It was a refreshing drink on a hot summer day.
The Coconut soup w/ chicken was the definition of creamy, citrus/lemon-y tang, and overcooked chicken, but that's all there is to it.
Authentic Pad Thai - There was the option for the regular pad thai for a dollar less. But why go for that if you could go for the "authentic" option just below. Blows my mind. It came wrapped in an omelet, with veggies all around. The pad thai was flavourful, coming with chicken, small tofu squares, and shrimp (2 small ones as a matter of fact - Almost lost count)
Cashew chicken - Most of the reviews were on the peanut chicken, but I tried to be different and opted for a different kind of nut. Curses for not comforming to the latest trends. The dish was just OK. I did find a couple of cashews, but the entire dish was filled with onion and red peppers.
Ended off with the FBI (Fried Banana w/ Icecream). Oh, the 1 scoop of ice cream is a dollar more. The fried banana was actually quite tasty. Crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside. Tasted great with the ice cream.
Where Pi-Tom lost my stars was the service. We were the only customers there and even then, it was difficult to wave down the waiter. And as mentioned and a fair warning ** Auto-gratuity on your bill AND tax on the total of that** I was quite annoyed with that. But it seems like a lot of venues are starting this.
Maybe worth coming back if service improves.
