Roast Duck Curry
Our intrepid traveller friends put in a request last night for Thai food tonight. Not just any Thai food (they had been to lots of Thai restaurants in Australia); Thai food from Thai Nakorn, one of the newer Thai restaurants in Davis and our personal favorite.
Seems like it hit the spot all round. Nicole ordered Roast Duck Curry, which she claimed was never on the menu where they were; a couple of vegetable and tofu dishes and vegetable tom-ka soup sorted us all out.
Thai Nakorn opened around the same time last year as the Davis premiere of Finding Nemo (just next door). We mentioned both things in our blog entry for May 30, and were amused to find that entry pasted in the window of Thai Nakorn for a couple of months afterwards, apparently replacing any bona fide restaurant reviews.
Not that it has ever needed any; this restaurant has easily sifted its way to the top ranks. It seems always crowded now.
- Did your intrepid travellers like our part of the world or were they too homesick? I’ll have to look out for Roast Duck Curry in our local Thai but I doubt I’ll find it – we don’t see duck on menus that often except in restaurants offering “haut cuisine”.— Jenny 26. July 2004, 23:08 Link
