Tropical Thai return

Chicken Sa-tay
Beef Sa-tay
Pork Fried Rice
Chicken Pad-Thai
Squid Panang Curry
Fritters

A favorite of Friends of Our Protagonist, going to to Tropical Thai is basically one big excuse to overfeed oneself, and this visit was no exception to that rule.  The double appetizer of Chicken and Beef Sa-tay could easily proved a meal unto itself; the very tasty meats-on-a-stick would probably be one of the best street vendor fare one could hope to find in Bangkok.  The meat inside was still tender and moist, adding to the marvelously thick sauces they were happily drowned in.  Oh for a piece of bread to dip in!  But Our Protagonist digresses; still, it was probably the best part of the meal.  Afterwards it became an engorgement of epic proportions as Pork Fried Rice, Chicken Pad-Thai and Squid Panang Curry all made their way to the table.  One of these shared amongst the three would have been sufficient, but that wouldn't have been "fun" enough!  Our Protagonist has a hard time turning down squid in all its forms.  As well as Mussels.  And Scallops.  Oh, and one mustn't forget shrimps, but again Our Protagonist digresses.  But one can gather the similar overwhelming nature of all these dishes heaped around the table, and they were all tasty.  Not incredible, but tasty.  And then came fritters for dessert.  Dessert?!  Our Protagonist had to switch his scale's measurement units the next day to kilograms to feel better about himself, but such are the perils of dining out...
