You won't be surprised
to know that most of the dishes at this Thai seafood joint have garlic
in them. And what a fruit it is. Wait, what the hell is garlic? It's
not a fruit or a vegetable or a spice or a legume. Huh, I'm at a complete
loss. In addition to hitching its wagon to a strong-tasting root thing,
this place purports to serve mostly creatures from the ocean. I guess
ordering fowl of the earth wasn't the best decision (kinda like getting
mac 'n cheese at Red Lobster), but it didn't kill me, so I suppose
it wasn't the stupidest decision I ever made. That, my friends, is
a story for another day. Despite it not being their specialty, the
dish wasn't bad. It wasn't great either, as I remember it about as
well as trigonometry. I vaguely remember some chicken chunks floating
in a red sauce--sweet and sour, perhaps? Other than that, I recall
a reasonably crowded, quite dark space, and not the cheapest prices
in the world. I also recall slow service and a weird atmosphere. Sounds
great, right? Okay, it wasn't. [MF] |
