S:  "where do you 'wanna eat?  Me:  Koreana.

So why did S drive to Tong's Thai? 

Apparently the only dish I can get at this joint is the Pad Woon Sen?  Well actually it is my favorite Thai dish, always. Reviewed here in September.

Appetizer was the White Spring Rolls.  Very fresh and fragrant.

Tonight my Pad Woon Sen was very tasty and well prepared.  I wanted more. I needed more.

Obligatory hot oils and fish oils and spicy oils.  Yes!

They said they were out of the typical bubble tea cups.  S thinks they are probably saving money with these ordinary cups.  I had an Almond Bubble Tea and it was very good.  I am STILL on my bubble tea fix and hope I don't tire of it soon?

PS:  does anyone know if a downtown location is still in the works?

PPS:  I didn't get pix but they really cleaned up the patio and it looks like a really nice place to have supper now.

PPPS:  @spamatdan said: @foodandhowtoeat I have not been to Tongs Thai in too long!  <<<Well that's too long.  LOL.

For supper tonight ended up @ The Legacy @ 281 and 1604 for our first visit to Thai Lao Orchid.  Do I remember this place being on Wurzbach and IH10?

Started out with the clear noodle chicken soup.  It was stove hot.  The hotness of the soup masked just how bland this soup really was made.  My kingdom for a pepper shaker or something. 

Always I have to try the Pad Woon Sen, here labeled Pad Woonsent, at every Thai restaurant I find.  This one had broccoli in the list of ingredients.  Michael does not do broccoli. 

I had to pick from mild, medium or spicy for my dish.  I chose spicy.  Next time I might choose medium, the sucker was hot! 

My dish was really tasty. Large pork portions and plenty of fresh mixed vegetables albeit spicy, spicy, spicy. Love me some glass noodles.

PS:  For a restaurant lacking in customers, there were only three other tables occupied when we walked in, the cook took his sweet time preparing our dishes.

PPS:  We could hear a ding, ding like the ding of a microwave announcing it's completion, coming from the kitchen area every 7 minutes or so.  After a while this was very annoying.

PPPS:  I was too full to try the sticky rice dessert.  Boo.
