| - Yelp 100 Challenge * 59/100
Landed here with the parentals during another of our foodie ventures.
Spotlight goes to their $5.99 lunch specials.
Frankly, I was skeptical about trying this place out at first, especially after hearing mixed reviews. Alright, maybe the servers were not as homey or warm as I would've expected them to be - but I will give them the benefit of the doubt and take it that I do get groggy myself at that time of day (2pm). Nonetheless, they got our orders down like lightning and our food arrived in less than 10 minutes.
Papa had the sweet and sour shrimp, mommy had garlic and pepper chicken and I got the yellow curry beef. I must've been the most satisfied out of the three of us. Curry was extra mild, as requested and the coconut milk brought out a rich overall flavor to the dish. I'd say it was sweet with a touch of spiciness - not eye-watering hot, but enough to keep the spoonfuls coming in.
Mommy liked her chicken. Didn't last too long. Papa wasn't too keen on his order because he said that it tasted like pre-cooked, pre-packaged and refrigerated shrimp tossed into a plate of sweet and sour sauce. To put it simply, I guess he meant that the flavor did not soak in too well.
Oh and how could I forget? We absolutely loved the soup! (it came with the lunch specials) Would've liked it too if there were side servings of egg roll and fried wonton for every order like the krung siam website said. Salmon was crossed out the menu for some reason (that was going to be my first option) so it's best to not rely on their site to be in the know how about what they currently have.
We'll be back here again for lunch soon. Enjoyed the peaceful ambiance and papa had a great time keeping score of the NBA playoffs thanks to the tellies lined up along the walls. They each had a different sport playing. At some point, he needed to know a team's score so I sifted through my phone to check it and hola, there was wi-fi! Could've been jacked from the starbucks right beside (very very possible) but still, you get to access it and that's the best part.
