thai cuisine

taken with nikon-fe2

2~3 weeks ago, one saturday afternoon, i went to the thai restaurant in my town with my husband for our lunch.
we seldom eat out (approx. once in 2~3 months other than during trip).
as we are vegetarian, it's much easier to fix something in my house.
so this was the first time after we had a vacation in italy in this may.

as you who like asian cuisine have already known, you can choose your meat from couple of option, like " pork or chicken or shrimp or tofu, $1 added for shrimp".
and besides, you can chose fried tofu or steamed tofu, if you choose tofu.
i like shrimp the most, but i want to be frugal for my lunch, so i usually choose steamed tofu for my thai food.
for that day's lunch, i decided to have a pad-thai ( with steamed tofu) set from lunch special.
in that affordable restaurant, they have quite good selection, probably 12~15 option for lunch set menu ( all the set menu come with a cup of egg soup and steamed/fried rice).
the picture above is the plate that i had, pad-thai and fried rice.
they all were so delicious, and pretty good price too! ( i don't remember exactly how much, but i'm sure all the lunch menu cost less than $8 :)) )

probably i'll go back there in this year, and i can say this is the very honor for them because we seldom eat out!

dear thai cuisine,
i love your subtle flavor of sweetness, hotness and sourness!
and i also love your pretty elephant pattern i can see around everywhere in your restaurant.
i have loved elephant the most in zoo since i was a child :))

sincerely,
tomily
