| - Let me just start out by saying I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. I've only eaten here twice, but the food is just amazing, if not magical. When I come here, I'm looking to especially treat and spoil myself for all the hard work I've done, (when and if I've done any). Now, I've never been to Thailand, or Asia for that matter. But I've eaten at many Thai restaurants because I love the cuisine, but eating here makes me feel like whoever created this menu, was looking to make it not only special, but something worthy of say a Mother's Day, or a special occasion. A memorable meal to go along with good times.
Of course everyone knows, there are a few ingredients that are a big part of Thai food. Peanuts, which many people are, or think they are, allergic to. If you're one of those, sorry, you are just missing out. Coconut and curry also have major roles. I happen to love all those favors, so this food is like a paradise for me.
The food is plated with care, and presentation is always observed, not just slopped on the plate. The food is delicious, and beautiful. I love the sticky rice and the rice that comes with the meal, it has many absorbing capabilities for the sauces. Also, their heat scale is not hot heavy like some places, and if you ask for a 2, it's a 2. You can always add all the chili oil you want if it's not hot enough, which I did both times.
I didn't know I liked coconut ice cream, but I sure did! It was delicious and was much like normal vanilla except lighter tasting, which I did not expect. I also ordered the sticky rice with it, which I think my sever thought was nuts, maybe a little overkill there but hey! I'm a pro! They also have a flaming fried ice cream dessert for a real special occasion. It looked incredible. I saw one being delivered to a table for a birthday while I was there. I must admit, I felt a little peanut butter and jealous, but I'm not narcissistic enough to order myself one, not even on my birthday.
The only tiny negative, which really isn't, and not really their fault, is that it's in a strip mall, so it's kind of...well...strip mallish. Kind of small, concrete floors, etc. In reality, this place is worthy of its own palace, This is not just the best Thai food I've ever had, but it's also the best fare in the whole area, and I've worked around there for 10 years. It's a tad pricey, but not really when you consider how important it is when you want to really treat yourself. I'm sure, I'll have a craving for this place again sooner or later.
