Life needs a sense of ritual, and celebrating my mother's birthday naturally requires a unique restaurant. After comparing options, I decided to try Thai cuisine today.
Environment: The restaurant has outdoor seating at the entrance, styled like a courtyard. Sitting inside feels like stepping back into a small shop in Chiang Mai. The warm and elegant Southeast Asian atmosphere is immediately apparent upon entering.
Service: Upon entering, we were greeted by the sweet-looking Ms. Shirley. After pouring us tea, I told her that my mother couldn't handle spicy food. She thoughtfully told us which dishes were non-spicy and clearly noted on our order: no chili oil, no chili powder, and separate sauce for the sea bass. She even went into the kitchen to make further instructions. Throughout the meal, her professional, attentive, and attentive service made the whole meal feel natural and warm.
[Traditional Curry Crab] The signature curry crab is plump and red, and the rich curry sauce is delicious when paired with Thai fragrant rice.
[Fried Shrimp Cake] The crispy shrimp cakes are tender and tender, and the Thai plum sauce is sour and sweet. [Thai-Style Phnom Penh Vermicelli with Pork Neck] The smooth Phnom Penh vermicelli and tender pork neck pair incredibly well together.
[Thai-Style Lemon Steamed Sea Bass] The sea bass is firm and flavorful, and the uniquely sour and spicy sauce is surprisingly less spicy than expected, making it a delight even for someone who doesn't like spicy food.
[Yellow Curry Prawns] The tender prawns are coated in a rich, golden curry sauce, and the aroma of coconut milk, lemongrass, and other spices permeates your mouth.
[Secretly Stir-fried Water Spinach with Shrimp Paste] I never expected this water spinach dish, made without chili, to be even better than I've ever had. The emerald green color, the fresh, crispy texture, and the delicious shrimp paste were so refreshing and refreshing that we couldn't stop eating.
[Mango Sticky Rice] The soft, chewy rice perfectly blends with the sweet and rich coconut milk. Paired with the juicy and sour mango, this dessert is a favorite. [Thai Milk Tea] This rich, sweet, and fragrant Thai milk tea boasts a smooth, mellow milk flavor, while the green tea is refreshing and silky, with a hint of jasmine.
My mother loved the delicate decor and soft lighting, creating a Southeast Asian dining atmosphere. While the food was incredibly satisfying, the personalized service made the trip truly worthwhile. This birthday meal was a real pleasure.
