I was walking along Bloor West with my mom after successfully tiring the kid out at High Park and we wanted to stop somewhere to eat. Since my mom is usually picky AND cheap (killer combo I know) We decided to go into Simply Thai to take advantage of their lunch specials.
My mom got the pad thai lunch special (yawn) which came with spring roll and pumpkin soup while I had the chicken salad (double yawn - stupid low carb diet).
While admittedly her lunch special was pretty affordably priced with all the fixin's, my salad was a big letdown. Now I know you don't go to a Thai resto and order a salad but I was expecting a little finer fare than iceberg lettuce ends, 4 chunks of chicken and a few slivers of carrot for $8. It wasn't even fitting for a side salad. If you're gonna make me pay $8 I pretty much expect there to be so much salad on my plate that I'll be enticed to hide bits of it underneath my sleeping toddler while my mom isn't looking. She IS my mom you know - she still tries to get me to eat my veggies.
