THUM' S KITCHEN, CORNWALL

My experience with Thai food is not extensive, but it usually involves heat, so when we were invited to eat in Cornwall by friends equidistant coming from Ottawa, I thought I'd better take a look at the menu and find some kid-friendly alternatives.

There was no problem on a menu this long, and Princess Pirate surprised me by ordering a dish I had a hankering to try as well. The restaurant had some nice details, the servers had traditional dress, and the food came hot, fast and tasty!

Chicken satay (SatauGai) with peanut sauce
This was a very generous portion for an appetizer price, served on crispy rice noodles, in a boat! Not sure if it was the fish sauce, but the sauce tasted a little stale. It was a very good choice for a hungry girl.

Pad (Mee Koret) See Eaew
I liked the noodles, PP the omelette. I was hoping to try a kind of egg pancake I had seen on a travel show, which turns out to be Vietnamese Banh Xeo. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it fed us well.

Gang Garee Gai: Yellow curry with chicken and potatoes.
The portion was modest but the curry was hot and smooth. Served with a side of tiny dry sticky rice (Kao Neaw), the extra vegies were necessary but disappointing.
