| - So, the hubby and I were sitting around, feeling sorry for ourselves as we were both sick. To make matters worse, he had fly out the next morning for a biz trip, so what do we decide to do? Order ourselves some spicy thai food to scare away the cold!
Now, the problem lies in the fact that our usual place, Ping Pong is too far south, so we had to make a hard decision and figure out where we could order delivery. After much deliberation, we settled on Surang's Thai, and let me tell you, it was the best choice!! I think I may have found a new fav!!
So this is what we ordered:
Shrimp rolls
Tom Yum (shrimp version, spicy level 3/4, plenty spicy too!)
Chicken Panang (spicy level 5, mouth watering hot, but good!)
Chicken Pad Thai (spicy level 3, a little bland, but pretty tasty otherwise)
We devoured the shrimp rolls, which weren't oily, hate that(!), and I ended up stealing a bit of his Panang, while I refused to share my yummy Tom Yum. The Tom Yum was not too sweet, nor too sour, it was a perfect blend of spicy, sweet, and sour and there were plenty of shrimps, and not chewy at all. The head chef I met in Phuket (Thailand) told me that when a soup tastes a bit too sweet or sour and is chilled, it means it's not fresh, so I can always tell when Tom Yum has been sitting out for a while and then reheated. The curry was a little too spicy for me, but when mixed with rice, it toned down, and the hubby was thrilled the chicken wasn't drowning in sauce. The Pad Thai was saved for the next day as the soup was filling especially after mixing with a bit of rice. The delivery was quick as well, which meant all the food was still pretty warm, and the soup was actually a bit hot as well. Winning!
