NYC (Fall 2010): Day 3, Room Service

on
Saturday, October 23, 2010

My brother took us to a Thai restaurant called Room Service for dinner. When we first got there, I didn't think it was a Thai restaurant at all, 'cause it's really dark in there, and the decor is all modern in shades of grey with mirrors everywhere and a massive chandelier in the centre. There wasn't much room to move around and everything was sort of squeezed in together. It looked more like a fancy bar than a Thai restaurant. But, I digress, 'cause the food was phenomenal.

We ordered several dishes to share: green papaya salad with peanuts and lime juice dressing, mixed seafood Pad Thai noodles wrapped in an egg white crepe, pineapple fried rice, lychee siamese duck in red curry, green curry soft shell crab, and spicy squid ink spaghetti with shrimp and calamari. And for dessert, we shared the Thai pumpkin flan and the Kaffir lime pie. There are no pictures because it was way too dark in the restaurant, but all the dishes were gorgeous. Maybe I just haven't found any good Thai restaurants in Toronto, but I've never really eaten Thai food this good. I usually don't order Pad Thai, only because it's gotten so boring for me, but the signature Pad Thai at Room Service was amazing - and wrapped in egg! My favourite dish was the green curry soft shell crab, though. Oh, man, so good, with bamboo shoots in a thick coconut cream curry and served with rice... Drooling, for real.
