Right around the corner from my last place was a trendy little restaurant called Beau Thai. The spot is handsome indeed with walls adorned with glamour shots of Thai women, beautiful Oriental flowers and cityscapes of an industrial-era Thailand but the food??? Oh my God, the food! My foodie friend Holtmeyer and I would frequent this place for a delicious bite whenever we wanted affordable but DELICIOUS food (which is always :o) On an early evening you will find tea lamps lit at every table with flowers (not overcrowding) as well as patio seating outdoors. The place becomes very chic and romantic, perfect for a date. They have standard Thai treats like drunken chicken, pad thai, Thai Iced Tea (which is delicioso!) but they also have lunch specials and featured entrees for that evening for the adventurous gastronome. While I was there, I was so lucky to have ordered the duck eggroll which is sliced and grilled to perfection and wrapped in their warm, homemade eggroll. It has sliced cucumbers and carrots but the best part is the delectable sweet chili sauce they serve alongside.
The eggroll by itself is just fine but when paired with the sweet chili sauce??? *insert clip from theTrojan His and Hers here* Yes...it's that good. Also, they don't skimp on the good stuff! The shrimp fried rice had shrimps-a-plenty, the crab fried the same and I did especially appreciate the ginger infused veggies they so delecately cured for a well balanced, Thai meal. I don't know about you but there's something about special treatment that gets me all in a tizzy. Like, have you ever bit into a delicious, juicy burger that was seasoned to perfection all the right toppings and you sit back and notice....they grilled the bread too! THAT is my shit...nothing shows the love and care put into your food as well as little touches like that. As a self proclaimed gastronome and lover of all things delicious, it's the little things that mean the most :o)
Have a good one!
