I know gas prices are soaring. If only we could use excess cooking oil to run our cars. If that were the case, mong-kut's food would fuel a trip from Toronto to Bangkok. Geez, man! The spring rolls were still dripping with oil. I decided to go for something different than the standard pad thai. Adventurous, that's me. I like living on the edge, y'know? So I tried the chu cha noodles (vegetable). They're yellow noodles in a thai garlic sauce. No easing up on the oil here either. The noodles tasted like cheap udon noodles that were rehydrated in oily water. My husband ordered the pad thai and was treated to some eggshells in his dish.
I had to pour on the sriacha sauce. Still bland so I had to add some garlic red chili sauce. This dish seemed resistant to taste.
I think I'm going to retreat into a shell and tone down that "hey, let's try something different for dinner tonight!" for awhile.
