| - I wanted a little nibble. I don't usually eat a lot, but here, well, I could go all Miss Piggy. Especially on the Jasmine Coconut Rice. That stuff is so good, I could just eat that, and call it a night. Daughter loves it so much, I've seriously considered using it as a bribe. Hey, don't judge me until you've had it, or need to motivate the kiddoes to clean their room, etc.
Tonight I ordered the Mint Grilled Beef Salad. Totally forgot with the delicate mint, that ordering it a "7" on a 1-10 spiciness scale would be a mistake. I took a couple bites, and ordered Jasmine Coconut Rice to help counteract the spice. I also sipped my Thai Green Ice Tea, which is sweet. Think of it as the Thai version of a dessert wine, but ice tea instead. Like an apertif.
The rice did the trick. This isn't the first time I've ordered that rice to pull the spiciness down, and it perfectly complements many dishes.
Guess what's for breakfast (I took a huge portion home)? The portion is so big, If always take about 80% home. It's great with marinated beef or pork, or grilled chicken. Might even be good with salmon or steelhead trout.
The server, a young, petite Asian female whose name I didn't understand, was very nice, helpful and efficient. Very attentive, without being intrusive.
I love it that though I was dining alone, the hostess didn't seat me in the worst possible seat. Rather, she asked if I preferred a table along the wall, and I said no; the table in the middle of the restaurant was fine.
