| - We came here and tried the vegetarian set dinner ($38) for two, which I honestly think would feed 3 because I was bursting after the meal. The set dinner came with: vegetarian spring rolls, large coconut rice, green curry with basil, mixed vegetables with cashews, and coconut ice cream for dessert.
The spring rolls were pretty good, not overly greasy but, the menu said they would contain taro and I was really looking forward to it but, sadly, I was not able to detect any.
The green curry was a bit watery and the vegetables/tofu were a little sparse but the basil flavor was very good and there was actually a bit of spicy kick, which I think is rare! The mixed vegetables with cashews were good; I'm not sure what the flavour was exactly - maybe sweet/salty stir fry type sauce? I don't think I would reorder it but it wasnt bad. The coconut rice was maybe one of my favourite things. I know that is weird but I have never ordered coconut rice before because I didn't think I would taste the difference but it is amazing! I can never go back to the dark days before I discovered coconut rice. It's creamy and a little sweet but also light and goes perfectly with the other dishes.
When it came time for dessert, I could barely eat anymore but I still did (for science and not because I'm a glutton). It was surprisingly good with real coconut flakes in it and caramel sauce drizzled on top.
Overall, I think this place is true to its name and offers a true taste of Thailand! Though, I would recommend fasting beforehand if you're going for a set menu.
