| - So, I met some colleagues at the Thai Gourmet after work for dinner. This place has an extensive menu with Thai, Chinese, and Vietnamese entrees. There is a significant portion of the menu reserved for vegetarian dishes. The owner is willing to make any dish as spicy as you want it.
We ordered appetizers, which were all fried and hot out of the fryer. They were very tasty. I ordered an oolong iced tea that came out in a one liter tumbler. I didn't need a refill. There are several soups on the menu, and I asked for the chicken coconut soup. It was outstanding. For my main course, I had the curry chicken fried rice which was spiced exactly to my liking. The serving was too large for one meal.
Now, with the food as good as I am describing, you might wonder why I am only giving two stars. Well, about 2/3 of the way through the meal, a fat, red GERMAN COCKROACH ran up the wall next to us and leaped onto the table. I didn't know those things could jump like that. It made a beeline towards my friend's plate and she freaked. I tried to smash it, but those suckers are fast. I did manage to scare it enough that it went to the underside of the table top. After that, we kind of lost our appetites and we all felt like something was crawling on us.
If it hadn't been for the roach, I would probably rate this place 4 stars.
