Grace 對那瓶 1973 single malt 最有興趣!

泰國菜目前吃過最道地在台中工業區附近ㄧ家平價餐廳,店面倒是不小, 老闆,廚師,外場...100%泰籍!

道地與否？以前較堅持吃道地口味，日前聽一餐旅大前輩一言：『餐廳需要好吃、道地以及適合當地口味；好吃又道地已經八、九十分，但如不合當地口味、又無法讓人來接受，就只剩三十分啦』...也有些道理。

本地食客未必個個有機會至各大菜系發源地一嚐道地味，所以也難強求餐廳們囉。

至於泰國菜酸酸甜甜... 見仁見智，個人覺得泰菜之香料使用是非常精彩的。

捏捏、玫瑰布丁 & SS：新餐廳，難免亂一陣。一個月後前往差不多了...

老中怎麼吃得來

食物不都是填肚之物

真有那麼多好不好吃之區別嗎

除了價錢不同

偶是吃不出任何不同

來亂的，呵呵，鼻好意思

偶是泡面一族，終年在家食泡面

好久沒去喜來登，原來FUZE結束營業啦!

這家泰國菜看來頗值得去，正好我最近一直很想吃泰國菜，所幸週末散步過去嚐鮮 ^____^

...還真沒吃過

破布子倒是常吃

ㄚ...還真被死SS勾起回憶

開始懷念吃稀飯配破布子滴歲月溜

Reich：自製泰菜一定很有趣！

Sunshine：Yep, it's on the 2nd Floor of Taipei Sheraton(已不是什麼秘密啦...) & it'll open for business tomorrow(07/14).

If "Chicken Ka-prao" equals "Kai phad ka prao"(ground chicken stirred fried w/ basil), then it's indeed the 泰北辣雞 mentioned above.

I have no idea on the whereabouts of Thong & her team from Thai & Thai. My guess is that most team members had to return home due to Visa restrictions. As for Thong herself? knowing Mr. L, he probably keeps her as a home chef until the reopening of any new Thai restaurant of his.

Dear SG,

Thanks for the preview and comments.  I have some Qs that I hope you could answer:

(1) Is this hotel at Chung Hsiao East and Lin Sen South?   

(2) When is this restaurant scheduled to open?  

(3) Is that chicken ka-prao?  I hope it is.  I lived on that dish and num-nam-tok when I lived in Chicagoland, whenever I didn't have time to cook myself. 

(4) Whatever happened to the chefs that worked at Thai & Thai?  Did your friend Mr. L make any special plans for them?  A friend and I actually thought about funding them for a new venue, but they respectfully declined and said they had other plans.

Looking at your 羅望子 dish brings me back to my childhood memories of Southern Taiwan in the mid-1970s.  There were a few tall 羅望子樹 in my elementary school, and I used to pick up the fruits and ate them raw.  I wish I had known something about exotic cooking back then (so I could ask my grandmother to use the fruits to cook), but all I remember about those days was one 虱目魚 dish after another . 

Sometimes I wonder if those tall trees are still there.  If they were 60 feet tall 30 year ago, how tall must they be now, if they really are still around?  Are their fruits as tangy as they used to be?  Man, I have not felt this homesick for quite some time now.

Sorry for all the ramblings again.  Here is a nice link with beautiful pics:

Talk to you soon,

近來吃過不少，但是很多都是調整過的口味，只有湄河還中規中矩，誠品信義樓上的泰市場簡直成了大雜燴。

這週末要嘗試泰國菜的作法，好久沒開團了。
