We arrived at the hotel before the checkout time so we decided to go out for a nice lunch! We walked around for awhile and found Dao Thai near the Magnificent Mile.
We ordered the Fish Cakes, Tom Yum Noodle Soup, Basil Chicken Salad, and Chicken Pad See Ew. Again being a lover of Thai food, it was heaven on earth. Their Fish Cakes were bomb.com. The Tom Yum Soup however wasn't the best.. But overall, a really nice meal and a great escape from the Chicago summer heat!
I loooove Thai food! Thailand is at the *top* of the list of the places I must visit. So, it was a no brainer when Ilisha asked me to decide where to go for dinner one night. Thanks to my trusty Yelp app, we located Khan Toke Thai House. I don't know why Amar and I have never stumbled onto this place before.. it's so close to Amar's place!
We arrived earlier than usual, probably 5:30PM since we planned on catching a showing for Maleficent (which was sooo good btw)! The entrance is really special and this is one of those places where they make you take off your shoes and you get to eat at a table where you sit on the floor and your legs are dangling down. I love places like this!
We ordered the chicken satay and the fish cakes as appetizers, which was so bomb. I especially like that cucumber salad paired with the chicken satay. It's marinated so deliciously!
Amar and I both ordered Pad See Ew (chicken for him and tofu for me) and Ilisha ordered Red Curry with Brown Rice, which looked (and tasted) REALLY good. The prices were decent ($$.5) and the service was so-so. But the ambiance and the feel of the place is very special. They have a garden decorated like the Japanese Tea Garden (Thai version).
