    Local Faves: Thai Taste

    March 6th, 2010

    Delicious Pad ThaiOkay: when I’m craving Pad Thai, I mean really craving it, I need to know that what I get will satisfy the craving. There are lots of places in town that make a Pad Thai of some description but most seem to fall short.  The concoctions I’ve found around town are often too sweet or too fishy, and sometimes, not spicy enough!

    Thai Taste makes a Pad Thai that is right close to perfection for me. Just enough garlic and spiciness, a spot-on noodle-to-peanuts ratio, and plenty of sprouts and green onions.  I also like mine HOT. Not “Native Thai,” burn your face off hot, but close to it.

    Thai Taste has recently come under new management, so the menu has changed a bit, but their Pad Thai is the business. It’s the kind of dish that tastes so good you have to remind yourself that there are at LEAST three servings in the styrofoam container and you really shouldn’t eat the whole thing stop eating it and put the rest in the fridge just put it in the fridge!

    Tonight, I ate my Pad Thai accompanied by a Blue Moon Seasonal beer, “Rising Moon,” a delectable mix of Blue Moon flavor plus kaffir lime leaves and lime peel. It was an insanely perfect compliment to the Thai food.

    Overall, a lovely dinner.  And I’m glad to be blogging about food again.
