Back to a delightful Thai bistro near our house that was first introduced by the world's top foodie, Esq John Nechman. Complex and flavor easily come to mind to describe the delicious food here. Each bite of Thai cuisine here is comprised sweet, savory, and spicy.
The Thai Boat Noodles can be customized, so we pick Beef and Thin Noodle. It has scrumptious Meatballs, Tender Sliced Beef, Chinese Broccoli, Bean Sprouts, and Coriander, served in intense Brown Broth, and a side of Crispy Pork Skin. The Broth is so beefy and herbal that I confirmed with the owner is made from scratch. I finish it like a bowl of well-made Ramen, not even a drop is left in the bowl.
The Thai Country Papaya Salad might be a little adventurous for American folks because of the stronger notes of Dried Shrimp and Salted Crab. The Shredded Green Papaya and Carrot, Tomatoes, Chili, and Garlic, are all super fresh, the addition of the Green Beans is a nice touch.
We finished the meal with their Longan Panna Cotta which is not too sweet, yet dense and rich. I also get a bag of Salted Egg Fish Skins as a snack. Yes, I'm weird, I like Crispy Fish Skins.
We love the overall vibe here, with nice Bossa Nova and Jazzy covers playing in the background, and a cozy decoration, which all jive with our chill mood.
