Kinnara (thai restaurant)

This place may probably be my fave spot for Thai food this side of the valley.

The decor - modern and cool but not cold.
The staff - friendly and helpful.
The food - delish!

What was had:
Thai Iced Tea - Perfect on a hot October day. Cool and not too sweet. Having that first sip could be just what Goldilocks must have felt when tasting the baby bear's porridge for the first time.

Massaman Curry - Great over brown rice and not overwhelming with the coconut milk.

Pumpkin Shrimp Curry - Amazing! When done correctly, nothing could go wrong with Shrimp, pumpkin and curry all in one dish. Another plus is that this place isn't stingy at all with their shrimp.

Pad See You - mmm mmm good! One thing about asian cuisine is that you usually have a fave dish. When trying out a new place, ordering it usually determines if the food since it's your go to dish. In my opinion, this place probably has the best Pad See You this side of town.

What's great is that after going over the menu, I noticed some other things I will definitely be going back to try. There's also a Chef's creations section that has got me willing to give duck another chance. Who knows, maybe next time, since I definitely will be coming back for more.
