A Taste for Thai Food
Pretty much my favourite type of food: thai curries fill me with warmth and satisfaction.This evening we tried a new Thai restaurant on Locke Street, Hamilton. At Siam Dish, the meal delighted; the menu included a satisfactory number of vegetarian choices; the service was attentive and helpful; the renovated decor (former pizza joint) spoke of careful colour selection and attention to detail. I highly recommend this place, with a proviso that the two-pepper notation on the menu means MEDIUM hotness, so not for the heat-fearful. I don't have much else to say about this lovely new restaurant, except that I will tell everyone I know to try it, and I will definitely return soon, probably before the end of the month. The pics:
 |
| The first thing that captured my imagination: origami napkins. |
 |
| Our host and server, and the restaurant moniker. |
 |
| The decor when you first walk in to Siam Dish. |
 |
| Dan really liked that window, so I took a pic. Lots of people came in while we were there. |
 |
| Upstairs, totally renovated too. |
 |
| Don't be afraid to bring a crowd, upstairs is huge. |
 |
| This is the table Dan wants next time, upstairs and with a window seat. |
 |
| Vegetable spring rolls, nice and crispy. Super-hot, quick to the table. |
 |
| Spicy Green Beans (2-peppers notation, medium-spicy), comes with rice. Beautiful deep-fried tofu. |
 |
| Panang curry, strong flavours of thai basil, slightly thicker sauce, mountains of tender chicken. Delectable! Had coconut rice with my main. Had enough entree leftover for my lunch tomorrow. |
