Its always helpful having someone dine with you who has never eaten a certain culinary style. a new view on thai food allows you to really understand what attracts more seasoned eaters in to the food in the first place.
we took a friend who had never had thai food to the lunch special at the Thai Basil on bloor today. the decour was nice, sleek and clean, and the value of salad, soup, a spring roll and entree was amazing.all for 6 bucks.
However, the food was nothing special, a safe rendition of somthing we have had dozens of time before. if you not looking for the greatest Thai food of your life, than thai basil is fine. But dont come expecting the flavour knob to be turned up to 11
