| - Trendy Thai spot in Oakville's Town Square. You can't miss the huge fortress-like door, that looks straight out of all the dungeon porn I watch. A bold first impression.
We were greeted immediately, but cautioned that closing was an hour away. Was that necessary? Anyway, we grabbed a table when I noticed these spacepod-looking booths along the far wall. "Can we sit there?" I asked the way an eight-year-old might. If my mother was there she would have told me to sit quietly and behave. But she wasn't, so it was spacepod time!
Truth be told, the booth is a little weird. The seats are pretty low to the floor and the booth is backless. It's almost like the area is a pimped out version of sitting on the floor. I liked the moody lighting and the plush triangular shaped pillows, but honestly I wouldn't cram more than four people here or things would get weird.
So the first time I'm in a Thai restaurant, I usually order the pad thai. I decided to branch out and get a spicy Pad Kee Mao (big step, I know). My DC ordered a spicy pineapple chicken curry with a side of rice and we starte with an appetizer sampler (for one) to share. It really is meant for one person: three pieces of fried taro, one chicken satay skewer, one spring roll, one shrimp rolls. It wasn't amazing.
The mains however were pretty good. I enjoyed the taste of the pineapple chicken curry more than my own chicken noodle dish, but both flavourful and spicy! It was a little pricy for Thai (Over $50 for two including tip), so in that regard the food falls a little short of my expectations. But with a great atmosphere and a solid menu, I'm sure to be back.
Obligatory Title Pun: I will come back SOON.
Menu Readability: Very elegant.
Need to mention: Check out their bar made from a tree-slab.
What this place teaches me about myself: I will never not choose to sit in something resembling a spacepod. (Whatever that is.)
