A good Lunch on a warm November Work day!

Here we have an interesting Thai ice tea...what makes it interesting you might ask? Well... I swear they made it with coconut milk instead of evaporated or canned milk! It had a nice silky taste to it and was by far the best Thai Ice tea I've ever had In a while... Time to whip out my tea at home and recreate this masterpiece!!! 



Crispy Spring Rolls
8
mixed vegetable spring rolls with plum sauce
This was really good,..... the Sauce had an acquired taste though, but still really good....what ever you've had before it's basically the same here!

The White Rice


Green curry ( gang-keow-wan)
green curry with eggplant, bell pepper, carrot and basil With Veggies!

I asked the waiter to add some ginger in this along with the veggies because I needed another layer of flavor... It came out like this and I was super happy!!!
I kid you not... I ate it all up minus the green beans and the mushrooms....




I would go back here for lunch... the only complaint is that the wait staff are hiding in the back... So you don't know if they want you there or not... Oh well Happy eating!!!

Has to be Thai sensation in these streets!!!



Default appetizer with salad and chicken dumplings. It was delicious as well as free! 

These Calamari were so good. The batter was light and airy. The sauce was sweet, spicy and tangy. I wanted more once the dish was completed but I had my entree coming asos I wasn't greedy. 





Shrimp red curry
My friend ordered this. He liked it a lot. I had a bit and thought It was a not too spicy. 


Got the green chicken curry with some kick to it. My to go to dish by default is green curry chicken, this one was different from what I was used to. It was spicy ans just what the doctor ordered. It was a healthy serving for lunch. If I wasn't a Pig I'd have some for dinner. 

I recommend this place! If it weren't so far I'd go here if Qi were too full. Oh well. Till next time!

The best Thai happy hour I've ever been to.




First drink of the night!  It was like a lemonade margarita... for just $5 bucks I was like hay give it to me as I walk in please!!!

So We decided to do the prefix dinner during our happy hour. Greedy on another level!!! for 16.95 you get a soup, salad, entree and desert. My friend opted for the spicy shrimp soup. It had a nice kick to it, but don't worry... you spice lovers this soup will do nothing to you but make you smile because it's really good!
 

So the chicken that I am... I opted for the coconut chicken soup. This has to be my favorite soup of all time here. It's so light and refreshing and decadent all at the same time! I can't really explain.. all I know is that I need a bigger bowl for the next time I go.
 

So in between our prefix dinner we have happy hour (I'm cheesing as I write this) This drink is called a coco mo. It's like a mix between a pina colada and a long island ice tea... if that makes any sense. I say Just try it!!! 

My friend and I had two each!
 

With our drinks come free appetizers (this is where the greediness comes into play). Remember we have a prefixed dinner and each drink comes with an appetizer (except for the Margarita in the beginning... that was a special)


Spring rolls are another free appetizer we had... very good.
 

Green curry chicken is my staple for trying our a Thai restaurant. it helps me know whether or not this place is worth my business. And you've guessed it I was more than happy sinking my teeth into this creamy green broth!
  

Brown rice to stay healthy!
  

This was the combo that came with the prefix meal... the other pictures were separate from this deal ( yea I'm greedy I'll admit it now!)


 My friend had the Thai basil sauce I liked it. It had a subtle kick to it with out loosing the freshness of the basil. After trying 3 spoons of her dish I wished I got hers (sorry Green Curry)

What better way to finish a happy hour than with " Green tea ice cream"
 


With all that food and drink we had a good time. What did the bill come out to? It was under $50. Split that between two people with tax and tip... I'd say that's a steal!!!


If your in the area I def recommend trying Yum Yum out!!!

Lunch at Qi

I was looking for Thai food near my job and didn't want to travel far to get it. On my google search I found one just a block away and the lunch special is what really drew me in!



Here we have a chicken/shrimp dumpling that is steamed! This was a free appetizer that comes with every lunch special. There are different options but I chose the other one (below a few pictures). Oh boy was it good!  I loved the fresh cilantro and the sauce it came with. I was really surprised it came with 4 dumplings instead of just 2.
 

This beautiful drink here was free due to the long wait we had to endure on our lunch trip. Although it was lunch time, there was only one waiter and more than 50 people  seated. It is normally $1.50 with your lunch special and $2 with out. this was a Thai Ice tea for those of you who may not know!

The decor was really interesting. I had to take a picture of the fixtures while I waited for my food to arrive. I read a few reviews on how the decor was a bit weird. I wouldn't really say weird but it's more or less eye catching.

My friend ordered the spicy Thai basil sauce with chicken. it was pretty good.. He didn't complain!  
My lunch combo was Excellent! I got the fried chicken/shrimp dumplings. Although I liked the steamed ones, I loved the fried ones even better. They were both different and I could definitely eat both all over again! 
I ordered the Green curry (my usual suspect when I try out a Thai place) I usually judge them on the spice level. It was that, and I needed something to clear my sinus pressure :) It was really good!!! 
Sometimes you may find that thy give you more eggplant than chicken, but it was really balanced. I for once was really full after this lunch adventure.  
 For the main dish and the appetizer per person it averaged about $8 bucks. Please tell me where your getting all of that food in mid-town for that cheap and good! 

There are other things on the menu that i would love to try on another adventure but till then Happy eating!!!
 I highly recommend going here after 2PM for lunch if you can wait that long :)

Hello all! Once again I have embarked on a road less ventured for experiences like the one I had here!!

Here is a Thai Ice'd Tea drink my friend had. Holy cow It was good. I had to refrain from stealing it from him. It was not sweet (Juust how I like my drinks) and it hid the alcohol very well. I would Highly recommend going here for this drink. ( I didn't even finish the blog and I'm recommending only a drink LOL)

Here was my drink. I forgot what it was called, but I do remember it had grenadine in it. It too wasn't sweet even though the color may be deceiving. The cherries on top packed a small punch if you weren't expecting it. (I wasn't) 

Here is a very cute appetizer. The Flaming Sticks. It was good both with the sauce and with out it. It had shrimp and some other seafood in there. can't really go into more detail other than it was good. 

Here we have an appetizer I was indecisive about. It was between this and another one that I eventually ordered later on. It was sort of like a potato quiche with curry and fresh peas.  The cucumber sauce was light and refreshing. too bad there was only two to share unlike the flaming sticks. It left me wanting  more!!


The dish I almost didn't get but ECSTATIC that I did. One of my favorite appetizer at a Thai place is curry with some type of bread to dip. This reminded me of my Favorite dish at another restaurant. This dish Made my day.  The Roti was flaky and soft in the middle like it's suppose to be. The sauce was inexplicably good!. So good it was used for another dish below. 



This had to be the smallest serving of rice known to man kind. And to the average Caribbean this is insulting!!!!!




The reason why I was Highly disappointed in the place lies beneath these words. This was their Flaming Chicken. The small presentation they had when lighting it on fire was the cheapest thing I've ever seen. But that wasn't why I didn't like it. The average foodie could tell just by the look of it that it lacked flavor. And Boy were my Taste Buds disappointed when that was the case. I swear it didn't have ANY salt or pepper. I asked the Waiter to change my dish he said "you ordered chicken right" I said Yes but this has no flavor what so ever..He said " But You ordered Chicken" 
I was waiting on him to say another sly remark...


Luckily My friends dish was pretty good. He had the Fried Tilapia over a bed of flat noodles in a red curry sauce. I had a few bites while the cook was making my next dish. I had a bright Idea to use the sauce from the Roti dish on top of the fish. Good Lord was that an IDEA. He liked it too and continued to use the rest of the sauce. Only thing I wish was more bread for dipping. 


After waiting 25 minuets I finally got a dish I was familiar with. which was green curry chicken. It was what I expected it to be. Nothing special really. But at least I had chicken with flavor. The whole time eating I was praying I didn't get sick later on.




But unfortunately I did an hour later. I had the worst headache of my life that day. It didn't go away no matter what I did. Could have been from mixing the drinks but two drinks never do that to me. And it could have been a curse put on me by the evil waiter. Who by the way wasn't Thai... Come to think of it, none of the staff were Asian, neither were the cooks when i stepped in the back to use the ladies room...

I would recommend this place for the appetizers and the drinks. Maybe I just had a bad reaction for standing up for my taste buds. Who knows maybe you'll have a better experience!!

After a long game that my friends played we visited a place in Williams burg Brooklyn.

Sorry I forgot the name of the place but I will go back and change the title of this post.


This was the pork dumplings and they were so good. I love dumplings in general but the sauce had a weird tang that was different.




My friend had the spicy Thai shrimp dish and it was pretty good. But not that spicy to me. I thought it could actually use more spices. I wasn't too impressed.








I had what I always get from any Thai place, Green chicken curry. It was your average curry but pretty good. I think I would have been fine with a few more orders of the dumplings.


Here we have the amazing Sweet Ice tea. I was a little on the fence because it was orange but it was Amazing. I love Asian teas they are the best. You have to try it when ever you go to an Asian restaurant




Till Next time :)
