April 19, 2008: Ying Thai 2

I've visited Ying Thai two on several occasions, silent this is the commencement fourth dimension it has appeared on this blog. The meals I've had at that spot possess got been spontaneous outings amongst friends but non a camera, or on lazy nights amongst Michael when fifty-fifty photographing the nutrient feels similar likewise much work.

This occasion was instead a lazy Sat luncheon with a camera. I picked Ying Thai because I similar their reduced-portion, reduced-cost luncheon specials.

Although at that spot are noodles as well as soups as well as stir-fries available, it's all near the curry really. Michael had the vegetable Kao Gang Dang (red curry, $8.90), amongst rice. He lapped it upward equally happily equally he does most curries, remarking on the generous provide of tofu.

I ordered the vegetable Kao Gang Panang ($9.90), copping the extra $1 inwards toll for the luxury of roti instead of rice. I honey dipping it inwards the spicy kokosnoot milk broth, though it does larn a fleck oily as well as it's hard to larn through all the sauce inwards this way. It's best undertaken when you've convinced your eating companion to club rice as well as become halves! (See above.)

Ying Thai two is loud as well as a footling obnoxious, all fluorescent colours as well as yelling over the vibrations as well as busy, somewhat inattentive staff. But it has reinvigorated my gustatory modality for Thai manner curries, as well as I require heed that it's genuinely quite authentic. We're lucky to possess got it inwards our neighbourhood.

Edit 16/06/08: We were dorsum to possess got payoff of the luncheon particular concluding Sat as well as discovered subsequently ordering that the vegetable curries genuinely incorporate fish sauce. Damn! No to a greater extent than Kao Gang Panang for me.
