Oh Ginger - I'm going to the Chili Club for dinner...

Would you suggest anything in particular?

I know we're gonna have the lemongrass prawns, but are there any other must haves?

Al.

My first response when Dave read me the thread title: "Oh, that f****** bitch!" Then I realized that you probably weren't being mean-spirited.

The kao mun (coconut rice), the pad thai pe ses (noodly goodness with meat and shrimp), and the swimming rama are absolutely must-haves. In fact, try to get the recipe for me for the swimming rama. It's chicken on a bed of spinach, in a deliciously wonderful creamy spicy sauce that makes me homesick. Also, the ambience is lovely, but a bit dark.

Lick the place for me. Or something. The Thai place we went to here didn't even have kao mun!

Ok.

We had the coconut rice
We had the pad thi
We had the Lemongrass shrimps.
We had prawn rolls for an appatizer.
We had coconut icecream for desert.

oof. I am offically a tuna! Thanks for the suggestions.

We skipped the swimming rama, because I'm not a huge poultry fan - I try to keep it mostly to sea food. However, I did try to pump them for information. They were less than forthcomming - I will try again next time.

I'm actually thinking of painting one wall in my living room the same color as the Chili Club. SO thinks it might be too dark as well.
