When in Sedona,
we asked a local where to eat.
He seemed normal
so we took his advice and headed to the Thai Palace.
We both had a salad for starters
with a ginger/garlic dressing.
Very light.
I liked the dressing,
but I thought the portions were a bit skimpy.
Egg rolls with a dipping sauce
which Mr. Hawthorne thought was oil and sugar.
I dipped mine in the leftover salad dressing.
Pretty good.
But not much filling.
Ahhhh.
The soup.
Coconut soup with lots of different flavors
going on in there:
ginger
lemon grass
curry paste?
mushrooms
chicken
scallions
red pepper
cilantro.
I liked this.
May just have to recreate this too
when I get home.
Mr. Hawthorne had a noodle and vegetable dish.
I thought it a bit bland.
I was hoping for some heat in there
but perhaps you have to tell them.
And I had the sweet and sour pork.
Pretty good,
but pricey.
A mountain of rice came with it.
Later that week,
I was watching Andrew Zimmern
on Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel.
I believe it was this episode
where he went to Phuket.
By the way, I love that name.
Anyways, the women and children of the village
spent their days making a fermented fish sauce out of
fish stomachs.
And Zimmern said if you've ever eaten at a Thai restaurant
you've probably had this fish sauce.
That's nice to know.
I liked the water feature outside.
