These photos of course are not taken all in the same day. It would have been very nice if they were, but they are not.
My "Thai food buddy" and I would get an appetizer, Som Tum, and a curry dish. Yummy.

Just at the small neighborhood Thai restaurants... nothing super fancy, but perfect for satisfying my cravings.

Thai Siam
EC and I went to Thai Siam a few days ago. It was around 4:30 in the afternoon so the restaurant was pretty quiet. The restaurant probably has a lot of vegetarian customers because they have a fairly extensive vegetarian menu as well.
"Curry Puffs"
The Curry Puffs were delicious! I didn't know if they were really Thai, but they were like flakey turnovers with hot curry insides. Yummy.
"Som Tum."
The Som Tum (green papaya salad) was ok... not as flavorful as I thought it would be. I wonder if the shredded green papaya was not marinated long enough.
"Gang Massaman"
We ordered the Gang Massaman with chicken. It was a creamy Thai curry with lots of peanuts and onions in it. I like the coconut milk in this curry.
When I was looking at the menu I noticed how similar the dish selections at Thai Siam and Sawadee were very similar. John later told me they were owned by the same people. I also saw our server lady at both places. That made sense.

sawadee
My friend Joyce took me to Sawadee last week for my birthday. It was a busy Thai restaurant with very friendly servers and staff.
We sat near the back of the store, next to the kitchen.
A beautiful Thai buddha was near our table.
A very shinny golden lotus wheel(?) was there, too.
I hadn't had much Thai, and Joyce had, so she helped pick out most of the dishes for us to try.
It got dark very soon, so the quality of the photos might have been compromised.
"Tom Yum Goong" - a Thai sweet and sour soup.
Joyce was almost going to order a large soup, and the server's eyes were wide open and said the soup might be too big for the two of us. We therefore got a bowl instead.
There were a lot of spices in the soup. Joyce instructed me to eat the soup, mushroom, shrimp, and cabbages, but to leave pretty much the rest of the spices/roots/leaves. I love the taste of the tangy soup!
"Som Tum" - Thai green papaya salad.
I really liked how the shredded green papayas were marinated well. Yum.
"Honey Ginger Duck."
I actually helped picking out the Honey Ginger Duck because I couldn't really made up my mind on the assorted curry dishes that I originally wanted to order. The Honey Ginger Duck was boneless... yummy! A puree/mashed
something was also on the plate. I tasted it and found some tiny pineapple chunks in it. I coulnd't quite figure out what exactly the puree was made of... but it went well with the duck.
That was a nice early birthday dinner. Thanks Joyce!
