Who With? Me
Food Style? Thai
My Funemployment days are running out fast and I’m determined to make the most of what’s left. I’ve been biking all the way out east and on my way back I’m passing through Corktown, and I remember there’s a decent Thai place I haven’t tried yet - sukhoTHAI. They also have restaurants at Wellington and Church, and Dundas and Dufferin. The owners have Pai and Sabai Sabai under their umbrella, and they’re both pretty good, so I’m keen to see how this stacks up. They’ve got a nice patio that’s in the shade during a hot summer’s day in Toronto, so I’m sitting outside and waiting for my beef massaman curry.
Mains
Gaeng Masaman: masaman curry with peanuts, shallots and tamarind sauce
Wow that flavour is intense. Perhaps a bit heavy handed with the tamarind, that comes through very strongly, but the onions and fried shallots really help to add that savouriness back into the dish. I’m glad it’s not overly sweet though, but I definitely need more rice to balance out that rich, creamy sauce. The amount of meat they’ve given me is pretty generous, but it’s not the slow cooked beef chunks that I get from Thai Nyyom. I ordered medium spice and I think that was the perfect level for me.
