**Another sadly missed. This is not Spencer Guthie and I'm excited to try it out asap!
Searching for a quick bite, I spied Chao Thai and, with a craving for pad thai, decided this was the joint to hit up for my meal. The decor is gorgeous, with a plush brown sofa and colourful pillows at its entrance, a lot of work has been put into making this one aesthetically pleasing. But was its meal as nice?
The sub-title to its name says "greeat tasty modern Thai food" what they mean by modern I've no idea as all the traditional Thai dishes were laid out on the menu before me but nothing unusual aside from the prices. Yes, this one is on the higher end of the scale, the cheapest meal being $10 and then it's all up from there.
I ordered my pad thai and it came extremely quickly, which is always nice when one's famished. What I liked was that my pad thai wasn't that sweet, which is how it should be. What I found strange (perhaps this is where the modern comes in?) the noodles didn't taste plain, but had a tomato flavour to it. It was interesting and not unappealing, but not my idea of pad thai.
If you're after Thai that tastes as you know it, don't come here. If you're after a little bit of something different, give it a go. The food overall was enjoyable and the portion too much for this girl to handle.
