Thai Express--every McGill ghetto dweller's favourite fast food spot! Now, I love their pad thai. Its 'magically delicious' if not at all authentic (all the staff are Chinese, no Thai guys that's for sure). The staff here know the drill: order, wait, receive your food with a grunt. I always order the chicken pad thai and then load it up--as everyone does--with that delicious 'red rooster' sauce and a mountain of peanuts. Its Asian comfort food at its finest. I went here OFTEN and then, however, I read an article in Globe and Mail that the pad thai here is ridiculously fattening. Like over 1,200 calores fattening. I mean, I guess it makes sense considering the portions are mountainous and the use of what appears to be oil is more than generous but still it ruined it for me. I always thought 'oh Thai express if a healthy fast good option!' but I was WRONG, wrong I tell you. And now I wonder why I gained those freshmen 15 lbs! Ha! The truth is out. So if you want some cheap-ish and delicious Thai food on the go you now know where to go but remember its hella fattening and your ass won't be happy!
