Last night, my husband's company took us out to dinner. We went to Amazing Thailand. It feels a little like cheating, but since we technically didn't pay for it, it falls under the "free" clause, and is therefore not cheating.
Eating thai food always makes me a tad reminiscent of my college trip to Germany. I know, kind of an odd mind jump. You see, there was this very above average Thai restaurant only a few block from where we going to school and some of the students were living. It also was one of the few places where you could get a whole meal for less than 5 Euros. We always got the pad thai, and there was also something with peanuts that I really enjoyed. They also had Mango Juice, which was also a favorite.
Anyway, we had a thai food that I have not had before. It was called Tom Kha, our dining companions were rather familiar with it and ordered two kinds. A chicken and a shrimp version. It's safe to say that out of all the dishes we ordered this was the favorite (of everyone's). Zingy, Creamy and perfect over rice. I didn't care for the mushroom aspect, but they were easy to pick out. Sorry people who like mushrooms, I just can't do it - the texture is all wrong for me. From browsing on the internet, I think it would be a fun dish to experiment with in the future. I am wondering how a shrimp, cabbage and cucumber version would work?
