  • *THAI TERMINAL*

    I have lots of delinquent entries that I started but never posted.  Here's one, with food!  Over a month ago, our jolly friend Seattle Scott's kid brother, Mark, was in town and we escorted him to RoomService for the same fabulous Thai meal that Scott had when he visited.  Except now, RoomService has changed its name to THAI TERMINAL, to differentiate itself from a Chelsea club of the same name.  The service and food remain impeccable.  The menu, slightly tweaked, yet still massively delicious.  Food this pretty should be in a museum  (and by "museum", I mean my mouth).  Here's some art appreci-ATE-tion.

    At this place, choosing 1 or 2 appetizers is just not a viable option.  You must go for 4 or 5 like we always do.  And we went for these tasty treasures...


    Chicken Satay:  barbecue marinated chicken served w/ peanut sauce & cucumber chutney.


    Crab & Shrimp Roll:  Crispy roll stuffed with crabmeat & shrimp served plum sauce.


    ThaiTerminal02


    Bangkok Wings:  Crispy chicken wings marinated w/ Thai seasoning served w/ sweet chili sauce.


    ThaiTerminal03


    Galanga Tom Kha Soup:  Southern Thai coconut soup w/ fresh mushrooms & vegs seasoned with galangal, chili, lime juice.


    ThaiTerminal04


    Beef Steak Salad:  herb-marinated grilled beef, red onion, cherry tomato, tossed in chili lime juice dressing.


    ThaiTerminal06


    Duck Tamarind:  roasted boneless duck w/ mixed vegs in sweet tamarind sauce.


    ThaiTerminal05 


    Massaman Curry Avocado:  mild curry w/ potato, onion, carrot, peanut, avocado.  My fave!


    ThaiTerminal07


    Spicy Basil Chicken


    ThaiTerminal08


    Fried Ice Cream, which they give me on the house.

    us with Thai Terminal's darling lovely hostess, Ae.  If you go, ask for Ae and tell her that I sent you!  Say you're "a friend of Jason, who had his birthday party here in Nov."  She'll treat you well.  You're guaranteed a fabulous meal, and maybe she'll throw in a little something extra for you.  Marichu recently went there and loved it.  She didn't toss my name around, but she had a fabulous meal and wants to go back.  I've raved about this place 3 times now.  Isn't it about time you gave in and went yourself??

  • I was just looking at someone's blog about spring rolls, followed by Brent's blog on blueberry pancakes and now this. All this food porn - I need some "relief".

  • I have yet to find a thai place that serves curry avocado out here! And I love those orange chili specks in the soup- so pretty. Actually, all the pictures make me drooooool.
