It’s so seldom that the hubs and I get a chance to have a lunch date like what we had at Magnolia Ray and we seldom go on a dinner date too. I can’t exactly remember the last time the two of us had a dinner date actually, but I do remember a dinner date with him at a Thai restaurant when the little one had a sleepover. So this is one of those posts once again that I looked back in one of those moments where I truly enjoyed the food. I love good food! Who doesn’t, right?
We live in a neighborhood where we are close to just about everything including an area where a lot of restaurants that offer different cuisines are located. When the hubs decided that we go out to eat that night, he was the one who chose where to take me, and he decided on a Thai restaurant. That was both our first time to try Thai food.
The restaurant was recommended by hubby’s nephew who loves Thai food. I know Thai food is generally spicy and I am not into spicy food, but I was informed that I could request a not-so overpowering level of spiciness. The name of the restaurant is Noi’s Thai Kitchen and I think it is one of the best here in the city.
Here’s what we had!
Spring Rolls
We also have our version of Filipino spring rolls and I’ve always loved them. Theirs is equally as delicious as ours back home in the Philippines. What they have in their spring rolls are mixed vegetables and chopped shrimp wrapped in rice paper and they were lightly deep fried.
Stir-fried beef with fresh mixed vegetables sautéed with thin soy sauce. I am such a lover of stir-fry food. I think it’s an Asian thing.
Stir-fried seafood with mixed vegetables. This was hubby’s choice. He loves seafood a lot – one thing that we both have in common. Apologies for the poor photos. I used my old Blackberry phone in these photos.
Thai Iced Tea
I am not really an iced tea person. The hubs is, but the waitress asked me to try their Thai iced tea so I did. It’s not bad at all, but I wasn’t crazy about it either. The hubs liked it. For him, it’s something different because he was always been used to just drinking sweet tea – southern style, though without the lemon. 🙂
That was our first Thai food experience and definitely not the last. I would love to try their Pad Thai next time which hubby’s nephew highly recommends.
Have you tried Thai food? How do you like it?
I haven’t had Thai food in ages, but now I am craving it. I think I will add that to my agenda for the weekend.
I love Thai food and Pad Thai is probably my favorite ever although drunken noodles are pretty amazing too! Now I need to go get some after seeing your yummy looking pictures!
Thai food is fantastic. It’s my favorite kind of Asian food. Yummo.
We have never had it before but my husband loves spicy foods so he probably would love it. I will have to see if there is a local restaurant that serves it here.
My husband and I are crazy for Thai food, too! We took a trip across Asia, and we had some killer traditional Thai. Yum!
I have never had Thai food. However I think I would love it. i noticed a ton of veggies added to every dish. I don’t find that in the USA.
I have had a few Thai dishes, and I wasn’t crazy about what I had. I’m not sure if I just haven’t had the right things yet or not. I do love Spring rolls though!
I love Thai food. Though, haven’t consumed any in ages. I especially love the coconut curries.
We love Thai Food here in this house. Thai Beef is my favorite. Oh my gosh, I love it!
Nothing beats a light and crispy spring roll! I have never tried Thai iced tea. Is is different from regular iced tea?
I’d love to explore Thai food a little more. I’m not familiar with it but I’m definitely interested considering I’m a big fan of spicy food.
I know exactly how you feel. I love it too and I first experienced it when I ate at a Thai restaurant and when they closed I was heart broken. I got cook books and started making some of the dishes myself.
You would definitely fall for Pad Thai. The first time I had it was an experience in itself. You’d never have any other Asian noodle dish as good as Pad Thai!
I’ve only ha Tai food a few times but all of this looks really good!! I really want to try that tea!!
YUM!!! Thai food is seriously so good! I can’t get my husband to try it though haha! Thanks for sharing (now I’m hungry!).
It looks like your meal was delicious. Good for you both for trying something totally new!
Sounds like you and your hubs had a great night! No, I don’t think I’ve ever had Thai food…but I bet I would love it. I’m intrigued to try that tea too! 😀
I love Thai food and am offering my recommendation the next time you have this cuisine; my favorite dish is pad kee prow (a noodle dish) and basil, garlic chicken (which you can specify mild, medium or hot). Also, you must try mango sticky rice!
My two grown sons are all over Thai. They love the food, and love to find new places to give it a try.
I’m also a great fan of Thai food. I love Pad Thai and their Tom Yum Soup.
This food looks amazing. I love Thai food. I am going to have to pick some up this weekend.
I like Thai food and so is my husband. Actually he is the one who introduced me to it, he loves anything with curry.
I just love Pad Thai and spring rolls. Your food looks really good.
That food looks fabulous! I am a sucker for spring rolls. I have never tried a lot of Thai food, but its been on the list to try.
I’ve never seen an iced tea like that before. It reminds me of manages.
I have had Thai food before and enjoy it. My husband always likes trying new things.
Ughhh now you have me craving Thai food!!! When I lived in Fl I had the best place right down the street to get takeout from. Now here in WNY … Ughhhh none here -_-
How delicious! Everything looks like it was amazing.
I’ve had Thai food several times and its been pretty good. I don’t have a go to item just yet but I like trying new things.
i have tried Thai food once and I really enjoyed it. I hope we can in another Thai restaurant very soon.
