I forgot to bring along Mr. Gold's recommendations, but my friends and I saw they had two pages of Northern Thai dishes so we wanted to get some of these specialties.
Som Tum Salad with peanut dressing
Sticky rice in a delightful container
Rice Vermicelli Curry (Northern Thai)
Ka-Nome-Jean-Nam-Ngyow (sp?) (Rice Vermicelli Curry) in a bowl with condiments of bean sprouts and pickled greens. The pork was tasty, tasty, tasty.
Kraphao Eggplant with basil, onions, bell peppers and chili
Kang Hung-Lay (Pork Stew Northern Thai Style)
The finale. Mango with Sticky Rice. Always a favorite of mine, and their version is incredible. Sticky rice with coconut and sweet, ripe mango. Heaven. I had to break out my Canon macro lens to capture a close-up!
I came home and reread Mr. Gold's review - we didn't get any of his recommendations so we are definitely set to go back and try some more dishes off their extensive menu. If you are ever near the 5 and 605 freeways, stop by this excellent restaurant! (Also, the prices are very reasonable...all this food for $40!)
