Delicious Thai Kitchen

Hello there my loyal fans. Sorry for the inconvenience of not uploading often. The holidays have been hectic and I simply have had no time to upload. I have decided that I will upload weekly generally on saturday or sunday.
Today we ate at my favorite Thai restaurant in Bloomington.  The restaurant is called Delicious Thai Kitchen.  It is known for its spicy, traditional Thai curries.   I ordered the Pad Thai, since I usually order the red curry and I wanted to try something different,.  I also ordered the chicken satay as an appetizer.  Lets get on the the review, shall we?  


Chicken satay


The satay was essentially a chicken kabob, minus all the vegetables.  The order came with four skewers of meat, a peanut sauce and a garnish of juicy cucumbers, onions and bits of red pepper with sesame oil and a piece of bread.  The peanut sauce was mildly spicy and sweet, and went well with the satay. In fact, the sauce was so good that we dipped the bread in it, so as not to waste a single bit.  I’m going to give it four doughnuts. Astonishingly simple, yet delicious.  It would be a good appetizer if you were having a small party.


Pad Thai


The Pad Thai is a traditional stir fried rice noodle dish with eggs, chives, bean sprouts, shredded cabbage, carrots, peanuts, lime and pad thai sauce.  I ordered mine with chicken, but other options include tofu, beef, pork or shrimp.  

The Delicious Thai Kitchen’s Pad Thai is a compilation of yummy things.  I mixed everything up, except for the lime, after I mixed it, it looked more like a bunch of brown and grey noodles and peanuts.  Though its appearance might not seem appetizing, is was, indeed, yummy. There was a unique, yet uniform taste and even flavors in each forkful.  I ordered a two out of five for spiciness and it tasted sweet.  I recommend ordering a four out of five spiciness to cut down on the sweetness of the dish. I give the pad thai three out of five doughnuts. If the dish was a bit spicier (say medium spicy or spicy), that might elevate the dish up to a four doughnut rating.


Red Curry with Tofu
Green Curry with Tofu

Delicious thai kitchen, like I said, is known for its curries, however, be warned that their curries are more spicy than you might be used to getting in American restaurants, The server told us this is because they use less coconut milk in their dishes.  Even the one out of five spicy red curry is pretty spicy.  My parents ordered the green curry with tofu and the red curry with tofu, both medium hot. Both curries come with bamboo shoots, red pepper, green pepper, carrots, basal leaf and white rice.  I tried both of the curries, knowing that  they are spicy, because I have had the red curry many times.  I give the red curry a five out of five rating, and the green curry three starts.  The flavor of  curry you like (red, yellow or green) is a matter of personal preference, but if you like curry, this is the place to go.
