Siam Orchid

Dad wanted to go out for dinner and sis suggested going to the local Thai restaurant near us. I've been there a few times and was never impressed but I was still down.

Pina colada for my bro. I forgot to ask him what he thought of it.

Thai beer for my dad. Again, I didn't ask him what he thought of it. Actually, even if I did, he probably would have been like..."eh, whatever..."

My thai ice tea. Omg, this was the worst thai ice tea ever. I usually finish my drink but I had to force myself to drank just half of this one.

This was my pad kee mao. It doesn't look like it right? I told the waiter that I wanted it spicier than regular spicy and guess what? It wasn't spicy at all! It's like they made another noodle dish (noodle with soy sauce). It was on the sweet side too (which is weird). But even though it wasn't what I was looking for, it tasted alright. Good enough to eat.

Sis ordered some kind of curry. I didn't even try it since sis said it was bland and I don't like thai curry to begin with.

Fried snapper in some kind of sauce. I had a piece of this. The fish was pretty small in my opinion and it tasted alright. My first piece had several bones in it so it kinda turned me off. But what can I expect from a fish dish right?

This was a shrimp, chicken and beef dish. I liked it. I was only able to eat one shrimp and it was pretty good imo. The beef was eh. I forgot about the chicken (shocker right?)

This was the best dish. Lightly fried beef in ? sauce. The beef was nice and tender yet it had a nice fried texture.

So overall, it was an okay dinner. We managed to finish all the dishes (except the curry) so I would come back here. When I do, I will get the fried beef dish and a few new dishes.

The bill came out to be around $100 before tip. Pretty expensive for the food imo.

The place is along the bay so it's a nice area to eat at. I'm just not crazy about the crowd there ;P
