travel diary 3

i'm having a thai food obsession.



when i'm out on the road i make sure to google thai restaurants and i frequent that restaurant until i go on to another city.

i especially love pad thai. actually, that's all i ever order. i feel as if i'm a food critic. so, since i am kind of a pad thai aficionado i wanted to share my best and worst thai restaurant picks.

best:

lemongrass in macon, georgia

the pad thai comes with sauteed tofu which is so tasty. the lunch prices are great and the decor of the restaurant reads young urban professional. the pad thai has a very clean and healthy look.

runner up:

chiriyas in savannah, georgia

what makes the entree so appealing is that every plate comes with a fresh rose on the side. the decor is 100% asian. i love it!

mediocre:

emerald thai in birmingham, al

the ambiance for this restaurant was great, but the price not so much. the pad thai was awesome, but too expensive and little. for $17 i would have liked a little more on my plate.

lek's railroad thai in montgomery, al

just alright

worst:

coconut asian bistro in tifton, georgia

the pad thai was awful. no flavor no jazz just blah. i kinda wanted my money back. but i did order a tiramisu and it was FABULOUS! i then went back again and ordered a coconut soup and spring rolls which was a bit better.

my next experience with pad thai will probably occur in a few days when i journey to SEATTLE, so i will be sure to let you all know how that goes.
