Thai Restaurants
Monday, May 21st, 2007I’ve noticed a lot of new Thai restaurants lately. Just a couple of days ago we rated Bangkok City which we should have a review for soon. Thai food for me is a hit or miss. Sometimes I’ll eat something great at a Thai restaurant, but more often than not I’ve been disappointed. I blame it on this one Thai restaurant in Austin called Thai Menu. I probably had the best Thai food I’ve ever tasted at that restaurant. I think I tried every item on their menu at least once. When I found out they were closed I was beyond sad. Since then my expecation for good Thai food is sky high, which is why very few Thai restaurants appeal to me these days.
Still Thai food seem to be gaining popularity judging from the new restaurants popping up everywhere. Is Thai cuisine a new trend these days? Hmm… Actually that got me thinking. I’ve never tried cooking Thai food before because their seasonings and sauces seemed complicated. But I might start with a little help from from a kit at CurrySimple.com. The ready made curry mix and sauces should make the cooking experience a whole lot easier. Plus they claim the mix and sauces are made to restaurant quality WITHOUT the use of MSG or preservatives which is certainly very attractive.
Eventually though I’ll want to create my own Thai sauces. But until I’m good at it I’ll probably default to ready made sauces for now.
