Our Thoughts
We decided to discover a new restaurant on Thursday, October 14th 2010 while our kids where at Awana.    This year is particularly special since our four kids are enjoying their evening at AWANA which means mom and dad can have a weekly date night.   We won’t be going out every week but for the remaining weeks of October we decided to use all the coupons we can from the Entertainment Book.

That evening, we were both craving Thai food.   So we decided to go to Tom Yam Goong.   The restaurant itself is not big.  Actually it was kind of cozy.  Only two couples were there that night…
 
Rob decided to take a Pad Thai.   It has been ages since he had some.  Pad Thai is a traditional dish made of rice noodle, stir fried eff, fresh bean sprout, crushed peanut, tofu, green onions, and homemade sauce with a choice of chicken, pork or beef.   Isabelle opted for a dish called Rama Thai.  This dish consist of stir fried chicken, beef or pork with vegetable and home made peanut sauce.   A bowl of rice was also ordered to complete this meal.

What we like about Thai food is that it is easy to share.   And we had no trouble at all to share our plates.    The Rama Thai was a little bit spicier than the Pad Thai.  Both were serve with chicken which is a favourite of us.    The food was scrumptious but it is easy for us to love Thai food.   The ambiance in the restaurant was nice and not too noisy.

When we paid, I think the owner came to ask us if we liked the food and told us to come back again.    I like it when you get the feeling that your patronage is appreciated.   We will go back there one of these days…   Can’t pass over yummy Thai food especially when the prices are reasonable.
