Some friends of ours decided that they wanted to make a contribution to the blog so they introduced us to Thai Spice, their favorite Thai restaurant in the Draper/Midvale area. I'm very glad they shared.


Menu:


Thai Spice Rolls (Vegetarian): These were very reminiscent of spring rolls. They were light and fresh which is important for a appetizer to be. Too many appetizers become a meal that I truly enjoyed how fresh and light these little babies were. I especially enjoyed them with the spicy chili sauce they served it with, absolutely complimented it and was not too spicy that you couldn't taste the roll. YES I KNOW I FORGOT A PICTURE. But they were all gone by the time I figured out I needed a picture. Next time.


Massaman Curry: Massaman curry is one of the dishes we like to order at Thai restaurants because its so sweet and nutty. It's peanut curry was a little on the spicier side, so I would say if you can't handle a little more spice, go easy on the sauce. The chicken was done perfectly. It was not over cooked which is common when making dishes like this, it was perfectly tender.

Gai Yang: This was also a peanut centered dish but the chicken wasn't cooked with the sauce. It seemed to be cooked on a grill and then had the sauce laid over it. This chicken was a little on the drier side, but the sauce more than made up for it. This sauce also was a little spicier, but as you can imagine the peanut flavor tones it down considerably. The green onion also takes away a bit of the spice and complimented the peanut flavor well since it was cooked just until it was sweet.

Shrimp Pad Thai: As I have previously stated, one can always tell a quality Thai restaurant by their Pad Thai. This is why I usually get the Pad Thai when I go to a restaurant. This is a quality restaurant. The Pad Thai was superb. Nice soft noodles, crunchy peanut, and the shrimp was not cooked to death so it was still tender, not tough and shriveled. It's easy to overcook shrimp, these people know what they're doing. I would highly suggest this dish if you were to give this restaurant a try.

Mango Sticky Rice: If you've never had Mango Sticky Rice, you're missing out. It's fantastic and, again, another mark of a good Thai restaurant. It was delicious. The sweetness from both the mango and the rice was so wonderful it really completed the meal.

The service was sublime, they seemed to remember us and interact with us appropriately. In small hole-in-the-wall places its easy to be forgotten because there are so few people usually there. I would go back again and give some other entrees a try just to change things up a bit.
