It's a tiny Thai place in a Silver Lake strip mall with tall uncomfortable stools.
Papaya salad -- green papaya, green bean, dried shrimp, peanuts, tamarind, lime, chili ($7.99)
Big plate of Hainan chicken rice -- garlic rice, steamed chicken, spicy soy ginger sauce ($6.99).
Pasta kee mow -- stir-fried linguini, basil, onion, tomato, chili, bell pepper, chicken ($7.99).
Italy meets Thailand! Weird in concept, but somehow it works. Get this!
Big bowl of Wat Dong Moon Lek beef noodles -- rice noodles, bean sprouts, scallions, rare beef, meatballs ($6.99).
Stir-fried ong choy with crispy pork belly over rice ($7.99).
Pleasant but not even close to the other-worldly version at my beloved Pa-Ord.
If I lived in the area, I'd probably visit fairly often. But we bought a house elsewhere, so this won't be a neighborhood haunt.
I've never been fond of papaya salad either. Hainan chicken though - have you been to Savoy Kitchen yet??
ReplyDeletedude! MIL and i LOVE papaya salad. oh well, more for us. she even gave me the shredder that you need to make it for my birthday. too bad i have no thai ingredients in our kitchen. oh wait, we only have beer and condiments in our fridge.
ReplyDeletehainan chicken is usually good at the more casual/snacky thai places for some reason. if you're ever out meeting w/parents in rowland, i like banana bay's a lot. although i think they changed owners since the version i liked. :(
oh well re: not being in the neighborhood, too many hipsters around there anyway.

This place has been on my To Eat list for quite some time. I'm very curious to try the lychee salad here.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, now that you're in Pas, I guess you'll be eating at DAISY MINT! Thai fusion can be found in every corner of L.A.
