Joy was craving this meal for weeks, but we didn't (I didn't) want to go to the commercial restaurant. Then we found it here at my favorite restaurant.
It was 2:30pm when we realized we hadn’t eaten yet so I told Joy I want to go to my new favorite restaurant close to the park. Thai food of course.
We’ve eaten there once before and all the Thai food was good – and very reasonably priced ($1+).
Joy got Jim Jolm which was like a suki-yaki dish – we got a hot pot, vegetables (Khun Chai, Pak Bung, cabbage, scallions, sweet basil), clean cuts of beef, an egg, glass noodles (woonsen). In Isaan where Joy is from they add more vegetables.
I got a Lahb Gai (spicy chicken uhm, like a chili almost). I really love Lahb gai, Lahb Moo (pork) or Lahp Bpla (fish).
We also got a dish of chicken fried rice that was made with a lot of black pepper – a unique way to have it that we never had before.
Joy looks happy enough!
Total cost? $6 USD. Including bottled water and Joy got a Minao Bpun (crushed ice lemon-sugar-salt) drink that I thought was great – like a margherita without the alcohol.
Jim Jolm - like a suki-yaki type dish.
Lahb Gai - a spicy Isaan style dish eaten with rice.
