Last night, I spent a lovely evening with two lovely ladies: Rachel and Wendy. Aside from their natural beauty and ability to kick ass on the pilates reformer, these women are also dear friends. And they deserve to eat when they're hungry...Which means, if the insanely popular Starbelly has an hour-plus wait for a table, we go elsewhere.
Our landing place was Thailand Restaurant on Castro. The first neat thing about this place is you have to walk upstairs to get to the actual dining room. The second is the Shrimp Wonton appetizer. They bring out an oval plate lined with lettuce leaves and steamed cabbage and carrots; around the perimeter are little steamed dimsummy things. Springy texture, sweet shrimp, and the Thai dipping sauce is a dusky mix of sweetness and vinegar...The word umami comes to mind. Like the company, they lifted my spirits and gave me yet another thing to be thankful for.
