Thai Diner

From January 27, 2008
Great Thai

We've lived in this town a long time, and the entire time we've been meaning to try the Thai food. Both of us love Thai food, but on the list of Asian food it comes in around #4, so we haven't gotten around to it yet. Well, today Thai Diner held a benefit to raise money for a school house in Laos, so we figured this was as good a time as any to finally try some Thai food. And it was delicious! It looks like it's in an old KFC building, and it has a sushi bar too, but that's it. There's no buffet or anything like that, and the sushi bar is an actual sushi bar. Today they had some tables set out with a tinfoil buffet set up (big tinfoil food containers). Our favorite was the Pad Prik - really really good. Lots of basil and some heat. It reminds me of the Basil Squid at the Thai place in Albuquerque. The green curry was good too - it tastes like the curry that we make from the tins, but it wasn't deadly just delicious (if you've tried the green tin then you know what I mean!). So we are now converts, and if anyone comes out to visit (hint, hint) then we have an okay Chinese place, not bad Vietnamese place, and a good Thai place. Hopefully we'll try the Korean place soon.
