Dinner out on Wednesday

[ndrosen]

Wednesday evening I went out to dinner at Thai Square, where I tried something different: instead of my usual Pad Thai Jae entree, I ordered bean curd with bean sprouts (no fish sauce), as well as a salad to begin, and then a dessert of sweet sticky rice with coconut cream and black beans. The main dish had a bit of green onion as well as the sprouts, and was delicious, if spicy. The salad was also spicy, which probably makes sense in the Thai climate, getting people to sweat so they’ll cool off a bit.

I also enjoyed the dessert, which I’ve eaten before. I wonder who in that part of the world decided that beans would work in a sweet dish, but I am fond of the combination.
