Eating Out -- Pad Khee Mao

Sooo living in a one car household we sometimes have to compromise, and I guess Rich going to work wins over going to the grocery store.  Who would have guessed. LOL.  So even though my fridge has been empty for days I'm not heading to the grocery store until tomorrow.  Honestly I can't complain because that means I got to eat out and get the most amazing Thai food at Taste of Thai here in Davis AND it's walking distance from my house.  Well most restaurants in Davis are in walking distance.  =)  If you haven't been you need to check it out.  They also have another location in Natomas.  I got the Pad Khee Mao (Drunken Noodles). 

It's made of wide rice noodles, thai chilis, hot basil leaves, broccoli, snow peas, cabbage, cauliflower, mushrooms and bean sprouts.  The great thing about Taste of Thai is you get to customize the spiciness of the dish.  Mild, Medium, Hot and Thai Hot.  Word to the wise when they say hot they MEAN hot.  I LOVE spicy food and the first time I had this dish I ordered Hot (Husband tried to get me to order Thai hot thank God I didnt' listen to him).  You would have to love spicy food to enjoy the Hot.  It's so hot you have to take breaks and drink LOTS of water.  Husband said he even felt light headed after eating it, so if you order hot don't say I didn't warn you!  This time around I wanted spicy but not over the top so I ordered Medium.  It was still spicy but wasn't painful, and I didn't need to drink water with it.  Still just as tasty though.  If you don't like spicy food you probably wouldn't even like the medium and should probably go for the mild.  I'm hoping to be back in the kitchen and bloggin soon, so stay tuned!!
