Soon after our last visit to Thai House, we returned and had another extra-spicy delightful evening. This time we were suggested a special out-of-the-menu dish which was very spicy in an odd way. We hated and loved it at the same time. We’re cursing it but already addicted. We can’t stand it, but already missing it the next day.
This is what we had:
Tulip Mostly Cabernet Franc 2010
Papaya Salad “SOM TAM” – Green Papaya stripes, cherry tomatoes, yard long beans, ground peanuts, garlic, lemon juice (28 NIS).
I adore Som Tam. This version isn’t bad and resembles the original except for the dehydrated shrimp which were lacking here.
“Pasa” – lettuce, noodles, fried fish, mint, coriander, dill, spicy tamarind, peanuts, lemon zest (28 NIS). So many elements in one fabulous bite. One of the dishes in the specials menu.
Cucumber and shrimp salad, wide bean noodles and seaweed. It was sweet and sour and a very light and fun dish.
Sliced Roasted Beef “NEUA YANG” , roughly sliced roasted beef served with traditional hot sauce (46 NIS). Excellent way to eat a steak. The sauce was a great match, the meat tender and red in the center. Simple but successful dish.
Morning Glory “Phak Bung” sauteed in flames with brown bean sauce, garlic and chili peppers (48 NIS). Another one of my favorites. Last time we ate that dish combined with pork but the greens only version is excellent too.
Pat Pad Cha – Goose with chili and herbs (90 NIS). This is one of the specials that aren’t written in the specials menu. If you show interest in the very spicy dishes you may be suggested this dish by your waiter. We thought it was very tasty and not so spicy like mentioned, but five minutes later the effect hit. Everything turn so hot and did not let go, doesn’t matter what came in mouth. I was red and teary. We’re all used to spicy food, but still! A dish that really slows down the eating rhythm. Recommended if you’re looking for a challenge.
“Moo Tod Kratiem Prik Thai”, Deep-fried sliced pork with garlic & black pepper, with Thai hot sauce on the side (69 NIS). The less successful part of the meal came in the shape of tough bits of pork lard and some pork meat deep fried. Reminded us of pub-food and although it’s one authentic Thai dish, it wasn’t the right time or place for it.
This time we passed on the desserts and went straight to Cono afterwards, just across the street, to get some Italian ice-cream.
We’re always happy to visit Thai House, as it’s never a disappointment.

גם אחרי תאילנד זה נראה מדהים וגם מזכיר ששווה לחזור לשם שוב ושוב
