Last night I went with a group of friends to a Thai restaurant in Joplin, Missouri, that has the reputation for serving some of the best Thai food in the area. And I definitely was not disappointed. We decided to eat family style, so I was able to try about eight different dishes and they were amazing. Some of them could have used a little more heat (as in spiciness) for my liking, but I'm sure that will never be the case once I get to Thailand. I've been told by friends who've already been there that my Thai friends will be impressed by heat tolerance... and I can't wait to push that tolerance beyond its limits!
If you've never eaten Thai food, you really should try it. I've always found it to be so much more flavorful and fresh than Chinese food, and usually a lot less greasy and heavy feeling. Yum, yum, yum... my only regret from last night is that I didn't get to take home any leftovers.
