The participants in the most recent Seattle Dining outing were Rob, Sammy, Gahan, and, of course, Eric and me. We met outside the Borders at Alderwood Mall (which proved dangerous, as every good bookstore is), and then drew the restaurant out of the tripod case. One of these times, we'll have to actually use one of the hats we have around here. At any rate, my choice came up, and we ended up at Talay Thai.
The menu
As you can see above, the restaurant is pretty small, and in a strip mall next to a 7-11. Still, we were willing to give just about anything a shot - after all, part of the point of this group is to experiment and try new things. This was made even more clear when we discovered that Sammy doesn't like Thai food. It took some convincing, but we found a few things she was willing to try, such as:
Garlic chicken and veggies and
Ginger chicken (she rescued Eric from the evil mushrooms)
Among the other dishes:
Chicken satay with peanut sauce
Spring rolls with plum sauce (both of these were appetizers, and I forgot to get the camera out until we'd already eaten a fair amount)
I believe this was called the Talay Delight, but we referred to it as the Plate O'Meat
Fried rice with chicken (we went through a lot of chicken with this meal)
This was the pad thai with chicken, "as hot as you can make it", that
I also ordered a less-hot version of the pad thai, and Gahan had a chicken red curry that I somehow missed getting a picture of.
And, finally, the crew:
From left, in the back: Rob, Gahan, Sammy, and in the front, me and Eric.
Overall, the food was tasty, if not the best Thai food ever, and the company was fun and entertaining. Plus, we got to broaden some epicurean horizons, so all in all, I call it a success.
