scrambled to find a spot to cater to my hankering for thai and would accomodate us at 10pm on a Friday night. although this place wasn't on my bookmarks list, i agreed to try it after checking it out on yelp. i ordered the pad kee mao with lamb and my boyfriend had the malaysian chicken curry. we paired our meals with two thai iced teas.
the iced teas were the first to come out, my eyes were immediately attracted to the color first. a beigish-brown. not orange with a layer of white like thai iced tea usually is. also not iced. it came out not lukewarm, but warm. the taste wasn't bad; my boyfriend enjoyed it, so i let him have mine.
the pad kee mao was made with pad thai noodles. i wasn't amused since i'd been craving pad kee mao for months now. it was flavorful and spicy which was good, and also the lamb as a choice was different but a nice change for me- i have never seen it as an option before. the meal was plated with a lemon wedge, a cucumber slice, some tomato and a orange slice. the dish was pretty and well-presented.
can't really comment on the curry since I'm not a fan of thai-style curry in general , but it seems like this restaurant values presentation way more than authenticity.
