"Maitland’s restaurant landscape continues to evolve with many of the city’s food cognoscenti bestowing the sizeable Thai hot spot with a slew of superlatives. Owner Puttipong “Jack” Smithipanon, who operated restaurants in Oregon before moving to Orlando, gained a following thanks to his chive cakes and shrimp doughnuts. But intensely flavored kua kling, a Southern Thai dry curry, punches above its weight with stir-fried minced chicken and pork cooked with turmeric paste, shrimp paste, and aromatic spices. Of course, the restaurant has mango sticky rice (dyed blue with butterfly pea flower). Just ask for extra condensed milk." - Faiyaz Kara
