Just Thai

Hubby wanted to share with us the lovely view at Two E-com Center so we trooped on over one Sunday lunch.  

The office building was practically deserted (some of the escalators weren't functioning) and we were greeted by an empty Just Thai.  We didn't mind being the only diners since we figured the food would be served right away.

I'm not a fan of Thai Iced Tea because of the aftertaste but this was bearable.

The sourness of the Tom Yum soup was just right.

I liked the refreshing Yam Neua (Beef Salad).

You can skip ordering the Crabmeat Fried Rice which paled in comparison to the bold flavors of the other dishes.

The Bplah Pla Muek Kratiem (Squid w/ Garlic & Pepper) was so simple yet so good.  I tried to scoop up as much sauce as I could.

We also had the Moo Sam Chan Yang (Grilled Pork with Tamarind Sauce) and the Poh Piah Tod (Thai Spring Rolls).

Spices and chilis were served on the side since we requested that all our dishes be mildly spiced.

A meal in a thai resto isn't complete without sampling the Khao Krok Kapi (Bagoong Rice) which totally made up for the blandness of the Crabmeat Fried Rice.

I must admit that I have no idea what authentic Thai cuisine should taste like but the Beef Salad, Bagoong Rice and the Squid are worth the trip to this side of the metro.  The ambiance, the pretty building and the great view are just added bonuses.
