Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 It's a humungous plate of all kinds of Thai vegetables, brocoli etc. in a peanut curry sauce. You can ask for it mild, medium or hot. Theres a nice salad. and it comes with a little thingy of rice. The spring rolls are not fried. but still really good.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 sorry, allow me to explain:since moving from both san francisco/san diego to boulder, colorado, i've been suffering major thai withdrawals. the restaurants here just don't make good thai food. none offer seitan/mock meats, which i like occasionally, so your only option is tofu. most are " pan asian " , so in trying to please everyone they don't specialize and suffer as a result. one place has a vegetarian menu section, and a note that says " most dishes can be prepared vegan. please ask your server " . as we all know, to most asian restaurants, chicken stock and fish sauce are " vegetarian " . so i ordered kung pao tofu and asked for it vegan. the waitress had no idea 1). what i saying or, after pointing to word on the menu, 2). what " vegan " meant. i explained " no meat, no fish, no egg, no chicken stock, no fish sauce " and she finally got it. i know, it might have been her first day (or she's been there years and no one's ever asked for the vegan version). SD had two decent vegan asian joints; it's a real pleasure to walk into a place and know that nothing fishy is going on in the kitchen (heh, sorry about that pun....). so i've had my share of the " vegetarian/vegan " dishes here, and unfortunately it's just like i was describing (a pile of overcooked veggies, a bland sauce, and rice....that might be " amazing " at anouk's place, but not here...). boulder's only got 80K people, so its unfair to compare it to the vastly more international cities like SF and SD. i'm a bit of a snob about this type of cuisine, and luckily i've finally found a place here i love...my own kitchen! so again, it's kind of thorn in my side (obviously!), so sorry if was rude to the food. or anouk! :^)blake On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 2:46 AM, Peter <metalscarab wrote: Hay Blake No need to be rude.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I go to My Thai Vegetarian in Brookline. I guess I'm pretty spoiled living in the Greater Boston area. :-/ We have a number of vegan and vegan/vegetarian restaurants, and between My Thai and Grasshopper I'm pretty set for Asian food!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 no sweat, blake. I'm sorry you've had such a horrible experience. Here in my town we have two Thai restuarants. Ok. three, but I'm not counting the Vietnamise/Thai one we walked into one day it was full of meat and they thought that vegetarians ate chicken.. and never heard of the word vegan. Anyways. The one I was talking about is really good. The rice is Jasmine and has got little herbs in it. I wish you could taste it. Also they have an entire page on their Menu labeled " Vegan Dishes " It wasn't always like that. The Vegan Meetup group of my town are getting restaurants to change by going around and talking to them and informing them. I wish I had more time on my hands to join them.
