Enjoyed a great evening last night with Teresa and Marco, new friends we met a few months ago at Kickback's. First stop was the Lime Leaf Thai Restaurant in Tapestry Park.
Food was great - we shared the Lime Leaf Sampler - be careful with the Curry Crab Rangoons - let them cool awhile before trying them - Teresa's fingers and lips were burned when she bit into one and the filling oozed out all over her hands - once the other one cooled, it was quite tasty.
We ordered one each of the beers noted on the menu as being imported from Thailand and though probably quite appropriate to be paired with the food on the menu, were not especially flavorful.
I ordered the Liew Wan with pork and companion ordered the Massamun Curry With Beef - both well-prepared and presented. Teresa and Marco ordered the Garden Vegetables (with chicken?) and the Roasted Duck Curry - of which Marco provided a sample taste of the duck - amazing.
Service was a little slow at times but that allowed us more time for conversation, so it didn't bother me.
However, the first "Bitch Slap" to be included in my new website will be for their restrooms - at least the Ladies restroom (and next to the kitchen). It was brutal - unbeliveable stink - two stalls, one decorated with unflushed diarrhea splash painting, the other no soap or paper towels at the accompanying sink. The "common" sink had a cheap off-the-shelf soap dispenser which oddly didn't match the otherwise nice decor. Overall, *GAG* ... wish I had taken a photo but any more time spent in there would have completely ruined the otherwise enjoyable meal. By the way, in fairness, companion mentioned the Mens room was clean and well-stocked.
We then traveled over to Intuition Ale Works for the Movember Awards Celebration and Mustache contest. Yes ... I too entered one of the contest categories. The winners of the contests were all deserving of their titles and the team focus of the celebration motivated me to volunteer for a team or put one together for next year - such a great cause!
I didn't stray far from my favorites at Intuition - the Lowdown Porter and the TCB Black Rye. After a good meal, fine brews and excellent fellowship, I was quite the contented girl.
