| - We went to Sala last night/ We started with the chicken satay. Though, I didn't dislike it at all, I have to say that it didn't taste quite like any other satay I've ever had/ That is to say that it was bland, and didn't seem to have been marinated in the same blend that I am used to. I'm used to satay being kinda yellow, and this just looked like cooked chicken.
One thing I noticed about this place is that there are no salt or pepper shakers at the tables. They are available if you ask the server for it, but I don't like having to flag the server down to get salt if the dish needs it. I would rather have it there at my fingertips. Maybe it's just me.
The person I was with ordered Pad Thai, a standard Thai dish, good for an introduction to Thai cuisine. She told me that she found it to be quite spicy, which is unusual. Thai food can be very spicy, but pad Thai usually isn't at all.
I ordered the red curry with beef. The spice levels here are rated with number 1 to 5 (or 6 if you want Thai spicy). I asked for it to be at a 3. I can handle spice levels being much higher, but I tend to go for middle of the road when it is my first time at a restaurant. I found the dish to be a little tame on the heat side. The 3 felt more like it was on a scale of 15 or 20 than 5 or 6, but I am honestly not the best guage for that as I do like the heat a lot.
The service, I thought, wasd very good.
I may be back soon.
