| - Thmor Da is the type of place that people swings by after buying their groceries to grab a quick bite, since it is attached to the venerable Pan-Asian market Kim Phat. The food is usually quite acceptable for this type of restaurant, they also go crazy on the menu by adding a few more elaborate dishes.
Last time I went there with my family, we ordered a Shrimp Tom Yum, a Loc Lac Beef and tomato rice, a shrimp Pad Thai, a beef chow fun smothered with gravy, and a Thai beef Salad.
The Shrimp Tom Yum, while being ok, was underwhelming. The Shrimps were decently sized and there was an acceptable number of shrimps in the soup, but the Mushroom were canned.
THe Loc Lac Beef and Tomato rice were quite tasty, decent wok hei in the rice, a sweet and salty tast to the beef, it was an acceptable plate. Same with the Pad Thai, tasty, albeit they got the order wrong and gave us a small order instead of a large.
The Thai Beef Salad was downright horrible. An overload of bell peppers, probably because they were out of anything else, it was absolutely flavourless. The beef they used was whatever they had left over from the previous service, was a chewy, overcooked, carbonated mess.
We were still hungry and not willing to move, so we ordered the Chow Fun, it was acceptable. They bumped it an extra size to smooth the Beef Salad affair over. Didn't work.
While I do understand they want to distinguish themselves from the other Asian restaurant in the area, if you cannot produce a solid plate of food, take it off your menu or don't serve it that night.
stick to the noodle and rice dishes people.
