| Pad Thai & Drunken Noodles |
Thai Cuisine
Location: 131st Pl,
Portland, Oregon
It’s hard to find a
Thai restaurant that offers authentic Thai food when you are thousand miles
away from Thailand. Ever since I’ve tasted local dish cooked in the street of
Khao San (famous street in Bangkok), my standard leveled up. Many claimed and
tried incorporating the word “Thai” on their business but don’t get fooled and
be mislead, Beshie. Because most lack the authentic flavor and aroma. In short, Thai pretenders lol.
Every time I’m in
Oregon, I always crave for Pad Thai and Tom Yum. Maybe because I always
remember our Thailand trip when I’m with my Churva. Weird, right? Good thing he
also like eating good food. So we’re always in search for new restaurants that
would please our taste buds. One time, we stumbled upon this restaurant near
PDX. The place looks Thai, the crew looks Asian though not from Thailand. I
guess that's okay. I've learned it the hard way that we should not judge the
book by it's cover. But to be honest, we already set our expectations that this
place might disappoint us

| Tom Yum Soup & Thai Eggplant |
After 20 minutes of
waiting our food was served hot and steamy. We first tried the Tom Yum soup
which is very appetizing just by looking at it. I was able to identify the
herbs and spices used as I slowly sipped this hot and sour soup. The aroma of
cooked lemongrass, crushed chili pepper and Kaffir lime leaves mixed together
made me crave for more. It was so good that it gave me foodgasm in every sip.
One bite of the
spicy seafood Pad Thai brings back memories from our street food experience in
Bangkok. The shrimp and squid was cooked perfectly. The vegetables are tender
and crunchy. I never expected that Pad Thai in the US can be this good.
Beshies, Sa Bai Thai
Cuisine exceeded our expectations. So next time you're Portland make sure to
visit this place.
K Thanks Bye.
