I was seriously craving Thai, and the other option nearby was not very good the last time I ordered from there. So, I decided to try Pad Thai because it's relatively close to my place and had decent reviews. I placed an order over the phone for vegetarian spring rolls and Panang curry with tofu. The gentleman on the phone said it would be 20 minutes.
Twenty minutes later, I picked up my food and was on my way. I was starving and really looking forward to devouring my food. The spring rolls were okay, a bit greasy, and full of some weird greens (maybe basil?) that do not belong in spring rolls. I hoped the curry would fare better, but that too was very disappointing. The menu said that Panang curry was "creamy curry in coconut milk with green peas, Serrano, red bell peppers, and basil leaves". I love veggies, but there was celery and lots of cabbage in this curry. All of the vegetables were reallly, really soggy, not flavorful, and the cabbage especially added a very weird consistency to the curry.
Well, I tried Pad Thai once and never need to go back again. read more
