Visiting the Denver area , my friend and I Ventured into Englewood to visit a Mid Century home neighborhood , Arapahoe Acres .. as we passed by Aung's Bangkok Cafe we decided we'd stop by after touring the neighborhood. Boy ,am I happy We did....
It's a cute little place, nice and clean.
I was happy to patronize this family owned restaurant, as I'm all for independently owned businesses. I began by ordering Thai iced tea . A great refreshing warm weather drink. My friend and I decided to share everything, the best way to taste more than a single entree. We began with Spring Rolls, I most often begin with them. These rice paper wraps filled with rice vermicelli , mint, cucumber, bean sprout, carrot and lettuce served with peanut sauce were a good beginning, light and healthy.
We ordered two dishes which came with an abundance of rice on the side to soak in the beautiful sauce of the Red Curry . Eggplant is so good in Thai cuisine, something I rarely cook properly at home. The choice of protein was between: Chicken, Pork, Beef of Tofu. We chose Pork. The sauce was delicious, this coconut red curry was probably one of the best I've had anywhere. The dish included purple eggplant, zucchini, bamboo shoots and Thai basil, bell pepper was also an ingredient that we asked to leave out.
Our second dish was Basil chicken, stir fried with onion, mushrooms and the Thai basil in house mixed soy sauce , The chicken was ground which we both really liked. In fact my friend was devouring it.
This was a lovely meal to share with my best friend.
I was impressed by how quickly the food came out and the service was good, as our water glasses were always filled. I have to say that I will return next visit to Denver. It was so Delicious! An awesome meal.
