| - So, we finally retured for some take-out and it's true. Banana Blossom is just as good at home.
And once again: Thai Spicy, baby. Thai frickin' spicy!
Pad Kee Mao? I'm all over that! Tender chicken and shrimp, crunchy veggies, basil, wide rice noodles in a brown, spicy sauce. I'm still stuffed from it, but I could keep eating more. Oh yes, I could eat this every.damn.day. Yum-ey!
The spicy pad thai I ordered for my man was also pretty tasty, but I would have ordered it extra spicy--that's just me. What I liked about it was that it wasn't super-sweet (thank God.) I'm not sure why people think this dish needs to be sugary sweet, bleh!
The Tom Yung Goong soup was sour, spicy and delicious, but not necessarily the best I've had. The shrimp was a little tough, but I'm thinking that might have been because it was sitting in hot broth waiting for me to pick it up. If I would have had it at the restaurant, I don't think it would have been that way. The beau slurped down his coconut soup within 2 minutes, so I'm assuming that was a winner. And the spring rolls were OK, just a little bland.
The service? Still great even for pick-up. Our order was ready within 15 minutes and we were helped right away. I will say the location is sort of unfortunate for their business, but I like it since it keeps it a semi-secret for us to enjoy.
This is definitely my new, favorite, neighborhood Asian restaurant!
