Thai Food Delights
Yesterday afternoon, Prashant and I tried a new restaurant called Sri Maya Thai Cuisine. When Prashant first suggested that we try this place I was a bit apprehensive because of its location. It is located near the corner of Cherry & PCH in Long Beach. For those of you who are familiar with the area, you know that it's not the nicest.
I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived to the restaurant by how clean and nicely decorated it was. The staff was also very friendly and helpful, which is especially important to us being that we are vegetarians. The owner personally saw to it that none of our food had any fish sauce or any other kind of animal product in it. Needless to say, I was extremely impressed by his caring and willingness to happily accommodate each of our requests. I am so thankful to be a vegetarian living in California... being a vegetarian in Wisconsin is not this easy! We started things out with their 101 Por Pia. They describe them as, "Quick fried rolls stuffed with bean thread noodle, carrot, and cabbage, served with house special tamarind sauce." I ate 2 of these with the dipping sauce. These rolls tasted good and they were not dripping with oil, thankfully. ![]() Next, we ordered the vegetarian version of Som Tum. The Som Tum is a green papaya salad with a spicy lime dressing. I loved this! It cleared my sinuses, too!! We also tried their yellow curry and Keow Tiew Kee Mow with tofu. Some how I lost the picture of the yellow curry dish though, sorry. Both dishes were very good, and the yellow curry was the most flavorful I've ever had. I was so full from lunch that peppermint tea is all I had for dinner... We got everything crossed off of our to do list yesterday... Prashant now owns a new pair of sneakers and grocery shopping for Thanksgiving dinner is complete! This morning, Prashant and I are going for a hike, so I better get ready quick before it gets too late. I'll be back later! related searches : Thai
