For the Carnivorous Foodie in all of us….by Jessica Chang

I got a little trigger happy.  It’s so easy to buy Groupons on your mobile app!  It’s a little dangerous.  We were in the usual bind for dinner, no cooked food at home, we were ill-prepared for the night and we were starving!  So whenever we are going to go out to eat, I always check the Groupon, Living Social, Amazon Deals, Google Offers…let’s see what else did I miss…to find a new restaurant we haven’t tried before.  My middle name is Thrifty.

We were in the mood for Thai and the Yelp review wasn’t too bad (4 stars with 9 reviews), so we gave it a shot.

What we ordered:  Thai BBQ Chicken (#58), Thai BBQ Pork (#63)

How we ordered it:  The Thai BBQ Pork comes in a gravy.  We weren’t sure what that was, so we ordered it with Peanut Sauce on the side  (no flour).

Thai BBQ Pork

Cost:  Thai BBQ Chicken: $10.95, Thai BBQ Pork:  $9.95

Quantity: Chicken was huge.  Really good amount of food.  The Pork was NOT what we expected.  The little red things that look like dried cranberries are actually small pieces of Chinese sausage, salty and delicious by itself. But the pic doesn’t show the large bed of iceberg shredded lettuce underneath.  Not really a whole lot of meat.  The egg added a new unique touch to it, but overall a bit lack luster as far as protein goes.

Quality:  Chicken was a little dry.  Not as good as Siam Society. The pork dish was slightly dry as well, though the Chinese sausage did make it much tastier.  It was a weird dish, very lackluster, not a big fan and wouldn’t order it again.

This place had a lot of potential for us.  Unfortunately it did not live up to our standards.  We left the restaurant with full stomachs, but feeling unsatisfied with our meal.  Wouldn’t really go here again, but we bought 2 Groupons!  Boo, some premature trigger happy fingers taking a gamble and we lost….

Still holding steady with our vote for Siam Society as having the best BBQ Chicken.
