rev:text	I came here on one serendipitous evening when a group of us just finished watching some boxing at The Joint in the Hard Rock Casino and our hunger would not allow us to wait 45 minutes outside of Firefly. Therefore we decided to walk across the street to check out Satay Thai. Upon perusing the menu, I was a bit skeptical since there was a hodgepodge of pan-asian selections ranging from the standards (thai curries, chinese stir-frys, and malaysian/indonesian classics such as beef rendang and mee goreng) to the bizarre such as thai nachos (shrimp chips topped with ceviche) and "chinese" chicken which reminded me of the Barenaked Ladies' song "One Week" (chickity china the chinese chicken?!) However, what jumped out at me since I almost never see it offered anywhere was the Curry Laksa. If you have ever been to Singapore or seen a show devoted to the food hawkers there, you will no doubt recognize this is the dish to try and there are heated rivalries as to who makes the best version. Essentially this is a fusion noodle soup from Chinese/Malay cuisine consisting of either thick egg noodles or thin vermicelli rice noodles in a spicy curry coconut broth simmered with chicken, seafood such as minced fish meatballs, and fried tofu. Here they give you the best of both noodles so I didn't mind the juxtaposition in texture and flavors although they didn't necessarily add the sambal belechan chili paste made from chilis and dried shrimps giving it that trademark grittiness derived from it's namesake (Laksa in chinese means "spicy sand"). Nonetheless on a cold wintery evening, this rich, creamy, and spicy soup (they allow you to order the spice level from 1-10, I think 7 struck the perfect balance) gives you that cozy warm soup belly and the constant variation in flavors from all the individual components keeps every bite interesting down to the part where you are fishing for any final tasty remnants with your spoon. The portion is substantial at a reasonable price ($9.95) and my parting advice is to be careful what you wear as you are slurping away. At the end of my meal, I noticed a Jackson Pollock of curry on my dress shirt and I had to take it to the cleaners through two rounds to remove the stains, but it was worth the trouble since I would have otherwise missed out on this chance discovery.
