Who? Me
Food Style? Thai
My favourite Thai place is currently closed as the family that runs it takes a long deserved vacation back to Thailand. In their absence, I’ve decided to try some other Thai places around the city, starting with this restaurant in Little Italy. I’m exhausted from badminton and I’m starving. Let’s see how this place compares to the big Thai restaurants in Toronto: Pai, Khao San Road and Sabai Sabai.
Thai food in Toronto tends to be overly sweet. It dilutes the intensity of the other famous flavours of Thai food: chili, kaffir lime, Thai basil, tamarind, fish sauce, lemongrass. Things must be in balance of course, I just wish these places would stay truer to their roots instead of catering to the Canadians.
Mains
Massaman Curry: Thai Massaman Paste with coconut milk, white onions and potatoes, topped with fried onion and peanuts
Yeeeeah. I can tell from the look it’s not good. It doesn’t have a strong flavour, like there’s too much coconut. They’ve left the galangal in, which is a little unpleasant because of the texture, and I’ve never seen this curry with carrots before. It really just tastes like flavoured coconut milk and sadness. Not even the right kind of peanutty flavour too.
Oh well. Another one to blacklist.
