This Friday I went out on a date (!), and I was taken to this amazing Thai restaurant. Now, most people believe that Indian food would be my favorite considering the large amount of Desi boys that I date, but Thai food really holds the most precious place in my heart for being beyond delicious and for always having an array of vegetarian options. Mexican food used to be my favorite, seeing as how I'm a California gal, but after four years of cheese enchiladas, bean burritos and chile rellenos, I've gotten interested in dishes that aren't based on tortillas and cheese, and Thai food never lets me down, as it's always flavorful and different. Now, for some people, Di-Chan Thai restaurant might not be seen as a dream date location, given its lack of outer glamor:
But I'm one of those who love little hole-in-the-wall places, so I was super excited when he took me there instead of some place that charges more for less flavorful food because it merely has "atmosphere". Give me good food over pretty buildings any day. I got the yellow curry fried rice, and was beyond impressed. I know I'm a wimp on the spicy scale, but that doesn't mean I want bland food, so I was glad that they didn't decide to skimp on flavor just because I'm a 3 on the spicy scale. The date got some dish with shrimp, which was a bummer cuz it meant I couldn't steal some food off his plate, but I gotta give him props for taking me to a good place, so all in all I think the evening was a success. Let's see how he does for Date #2 :)
