The ones I tried felt very authentic to me, different flavors than Americanized Thai. Both Ruen Pair and Lotus of Siam are good about not making their food too sweet. However, I can't make the comparison without going to Ruen Pair again for a full meal, considering last time was an appetizer to Prov D dessert tasting. <BR/><BR/>I have not been to Jitlada.

As you mentioned, the fried rice was pretty average and so were most of the dishes we got. The only good part of our meal was the mango and coconut sweet rice, but for $7 a plate, we needed 2 orders to be content. We were still hungry afterwards and went to Ichiza as a 2nd dinner.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660273000206036668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703853884983117082.post-90964668161196360092009-01-25T17:05:00.000-08:002009-01-25T17:05:00.000-08:00Kevin: I went with my broke friends.

It certainly wasn't an eating trip.<BR/><BR/>As far as Thai restaurants in LA, I reviewed <A HREF="http://fooddestination.blogspot.com/2008/03/yai-restaurant.html" REL="nofollow">Yai</A> as one of my first reviews. Tony of <A HREF="http://sinosoul.com" REL="nofollow">Sino Soul</A> took me to <A HREF="http://www.yelp.com/biz/ord-noodles-los-angeles" REL="nofollow">Ord Noodles</A> and <A HREF="http://www.yelp.com/biz/ruen-pair-restaurant-los-angeles" REL="nofollow">Ruen Pair</A>. He's certainly more of an expert than me.<BR/><BR/>Monique: That's an interesting way to determine quality.

I'll be looking for the card to give you the real deal. for me the best way to tell of a great thai is spice and the usage of coconut in the soups.ispeakfoodtoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891402467610901847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703853884983117082.post-35497768761646204752009-01-25T02:06:00.000-08:002009-01-25T02:06:00.000-08:00Do you have any recommended Thai places in LA?Also...Do you have any recommended Thai places in LA?<BR/><BR/>Also, where else did you go in Vegas?kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.com
