"My family are practicing Muslims, and there is a halal Thai restaurant called Sala Thai 2 that has been my favorite for years. We've been going since I was in high school and I love the people who work there: They’ve celebrated my 16th birthday with me, and my high school graduation. You have to order the satay chicken—the peanut sauce is exceptional—and the mango with sticky rice. I remember the first time I ever tried mango with sticky rice. It tasted so good that I could not stop laughing. It was embarrassing."
