Well this is my first time posting a review, my wife has posted reviews but I have not.  Here it goes, last month we went to the Thai Place down on Westport.  I had the shrimp fried rice and it was delicious, probable the best I have ever eaten.  It was very tasty, the rice was not gummy or hard it was cooked perfectly.  The shrimps were regular size, not like most restaurants that use the small baby shrimp and the flavor was very good to my taste.  I ordered my shrimp fried rice medium or mild, so it was not spicy.  Just the way I like it.  The decor was very nice, it was not like most Chinese restaurants that have a lot of gaudy pictures, statues and a fish tank.  It was classier and cleaner.  The service was very good, the waitress was attentive but not overwhelming.  I gave it a 3.5 out of 5, only because food wise I went safe on this trip, but I would recommend this restaurant.

Another BBQ Outing

Next week the GAS Club will meet for our May dinner, and rumor has it, BBQ is on the menu again. Take a look back at our Oklahoma Joe's reviews to see how BBQ fared last September.

Thai: Food with a KICK

Babies love Thai food too!

Last week the GAS dinner club ate at Thai Place in Westport. This isn't any Thai Palace, mind you: just plain ol' Thai Place. It was very tasty, with good service and a nice setting. Easy parking in Westport is also a plus.

I started with a Thai iced tea, the perfect beverage to accompany spicy food. I ordered the Galanga soup, which, according to their menu, is "a bowl of rich coconut broth reduced with galanga roots, lemongrass and kaffir lime with sliced fresh mushrooms, onions, scallions and cilantro." It had some serious kick to it, which is good because, let's face it, who wants mild Thai food? Bonus: for $3 more, you can get your soup served in a fancy metal dish heated with fire. (I passed on this option since Baby Luke was at our table. His first restaurant outing shouldn't involve open flames.)

I sampled my fellow Gassies' entrees and enjoyed them all. Portion sizes were generous. A plus for folks with small children: we ate in a small semi-private room, which was convenient since Luke decided to cry toward the end of the meal.

This was Becky's pick, so now everyone in the club has had a chance to select a restaurant. We start over next month, which means I'll get to pick once again!

Thai Tonight!

The GAS club is meeting at a Thai restaurant this evening. Which one will it be? What will we order? Will Josh be able to handle the spiciest thing on the menu? Well you'll have to wait for our reviews to find out.
