| - Mmm Thai Food.. I first walked into the restaurant thinking, "Well this is fancy!". It was supposed to be a casual dinner after I finished work, but I'm not complaining. They had very nicely decorated Asian inspired furniture as well as a gold temple with a Buddha in the center of the restaurant. Once everyone arrived at the restaurant, we were greeted by a very friendly Korean waitress. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and she described everything in detail, from the taste to the texture of everything we asked. She was also able to recommend a lot and suggest what dish goes best with which meat. You are also able to personalize how many chilli peppers you would like for each dish. Looking through the menu, there was so much to choose from.. we all decided to pick one appetizer and one main dish. We started off with the Mieng Kum (which was Linda's signature appetizer meaning "many things in one bite"). It definitely was.. you eat it with a piece of Mieng Kum leaf imported straight from Thailand and take a spoonful of each ingredient, such as shallots, coconut shavings, fresh green chilli peppers, limes, roasted peanuts, and small dried shrimps. Then you wrap it like you would a taco and take a bite. The first bite, it was kind of interesting, the texture was crunchy with a bit of sweetness and saltiness. None the less, I definitely went for seconds. We also tried their Pla Meuk Tod (fried calamari with a honey chilli dipping sauce).. those are to die for! One of the best calamari's I've had. And lucky for us, we got the last batch of calamari because they were sold out afterwards. And finally the last appetizer we decided to choose was the Tom Yum Goong (hot and sour shrimp soup), which was also very delicious and flavourful. Now onto the main dishes. We ordered the Royal Pad Thai with chicken, Thai Islamic Noodles with shrimp, and the Seafood Fried Rice. The Royal Pad Thai was not your typical pad thai.. it was wrapped in what looked like a crêpe and all the stuffing was inside. The Islamic Noodles came with a side of curry sauce that was poured over the noodles to give it a nice creamy texture. This dish was my favourite among the three, although a little on the salty side. The Seafood Fried Rice was okay, it came with calamari, mussels, and shrimps. Pretty self-explanatory, nothing special in terms of fried rice. Lastly, we finished with a Mango Sticky Rice. Usually, I'm a huge fan of the Mango Sticky Rice, as I've had it at another restaurant that is my all time favourite. But this time.. I wasn't too fond of it. It came with some pieces of fresh strawberries and some crushed up peanuts on top of the mango sticky rice. All in all, I did enjoy my first experience at Linda Modern Thai and I'd definitely come back, although it is a bit pricey, but it's also because of the area the restaurants' located. But being as my other half is Thai and having being introduced to authentic Thai food, nothing compares and it's hard to say that any Thai food is better than authentic home-made Thai food.
