went back again and had the crispy rice salad, which i was craving, the issan sausages, the number 58 (spicy beef on cabbage), red northern curry, pad thai. delicious.
i'm glad i tried a lot of these different dishes this time. the curry is not the thick coconut based kind. it's more like a light soup with curry flavors. very delicious and not heavy at all. the sausage was great, too though i do prefer mine with more acidity (like at ord noodles in thai town, LA). the #58 was a hit. we asked for it extra spicy and thought we were going to die. just the way we like it. the pad thai was good, too.
we asked the servers what to get and got what they recommended. after we ate, we realized we should have taken heed to one of their suggestions to get lobster. darn... it looked so good, teasing us from another table.
