| - Got a huge takeout order and sampled a lot of different dishes. Yes, you have to order rice separately if you get curry. Deal with it. Lots of Thai places do that. At least you get to pick between white, brown, coconut, or sticky rice. They also have rice noodles as an option. If you've never had Panang curry on noodles (aka the infamous secret menu item "Thai Islamic Noodles" from Salad King), you should try it!
Favourites:
Curry Fried Rice (Nasi Goreng Neyalan) - The curry powder they use has a lot of coriander in it. It reminds me of fresh, homemade Malaysian curry.
Thick Curry (Beef) - Like a Panang curry, it's basically the Red Curry with peanuts added to thicken it.
Shrimp Satay - Part of the appetizer sample platter. Shrimp is skewered with pineapple chunks and seasoned with Malaysian curry powder. Very flavourful.
Least Favourites:
Samosa - The flavour of the filling and the pastry were good, but I didn't like the mushy consistency of the potato. It was mashed into a smooth puree.
Fresh Rolls - The rice wrapper seemed quite thick, and the dish felt like it needed shrimp or something in addition to the veggies and tofu.
Also had:
Spring Rolls - Pretty good, reminded me of good Chinese veggie spring rolls.
Calamari - The flavour was good, and the squid was very tender.
Beef Salad - Never had this before and wanted to try. The beef was a little overdone for my taste.
Authentic Pad Thai - Wrapped in a paper-thin egg crepe that you break open to eat. When they say authentic they mean it's not that bright red, sweet Pad Thai that is more common in Toronto. It's more brown and salty (in a good way).
Red Curry (Chicken) - Standard Red Curry, with lots of carrot, broccoli, and bok choy.
Malay Curry (Chicken) - Really liked the flavour. Like a mix between golden and red curry.
Will definitely order again.
