Thai Cusine

Hello again.  Thursdays I usually go out for lunch and last week I was in the mood for Thai food.  I decided to try this restaurant right by my work called bangkok bistro cafe located at 5377 Crooks Rd, Troy MI 48098.  Like most restaurants the lunch prices are cheaper than that of the dinner prices.  I found that both are reasonable.  A lunch plate costs about $7.25 to $8.25 depending on if you get chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp.  The dinner prices range from $8.95 to $9.95.

Now I actually ordered two different entrees.  One was for lunch and the other dinner.  I ordered the Pad Thai which is the national dish of Thailand.  It is composed of rice noodles sautéed with bean sprouts, egg, green onions, and topped crushed peanuts.  I generally like Pad Thai with pork and shrimp spicy.  At Bangkok Bistro you always have the option to order your dish mild, medium, hot, or spicy; however, some dishes tend to be spicier than others.  

I absolutely love spicy foods.  This second dish I ordered is naturally spicy, Green Curry - chicken and shrimp with bamboo shoots, sweet peas, carrots, and green peppers cooked in green curry sauce over white rice.  If you are new to Thai food beware of some of the curries because they are pretty spicy.  I made the mistake of ordering this dish extra spicy.  Each bite set my mouth on fire!  It certainly opened up my sinuses!  In my experience the only things that tend to help soothe the burning is milk or hard candy.  Both of these dishes were extremely delicious and I would recommend this restaurant to everyone, just be careful ordering how spicy you want it.  Here is a link to the menu if you are interested http://www.allmenus.com/mi/troy/48238-bangkok-bistro-cafe/menu/
