Culturally rich, vibrant and exotic, thai food at Sang Thai Restaurant is a must-try.
Located right on the corner of Shaughnessy and Lougheed, this thai food heaven is not too far away. I went to Sang Thai's for the very first time with my teammates from track and field during my winter break. Although I had heard great things about it, having been to several asian cuisines, I wasn't sure what to expect.
Once you go through the entrance doors, the first thing you notice is the sudden change in atmosphere --- one second ago, you were in downtown Port Coquitlam, and the next second, you find yourself on other side of the world. The interior design is very exotic and fitting to the 'thai' image of buddhist statues, fine detailed silk decor, and warm tones of red, gold and brown. Even then, there is a very sophisticated, modern look.
We were then shown the way to our seats. The servers and hosts are very welcoming and sincerely kind, coming by every now and then to check how we were doing. In addition, there were traditional thai musicians performing, making the occasion feel that much more special.
Once the very kind and sincere servers escort you to your seats, it is time to order.
Although every dish was very delicious, my personal favourite is the Chicken Pad Thai. The dish is presented very beautiful with colourful ingredients and sophisticated garnishes. The taste? Out of this world. It contains the chicken and sauce's umami, the refreshing zest of the lime and the combination of soft noodles and crunching peanuts. Not only wonderful to look at and taste, the Chicken Pad Thai includes all the nutritional values one may need --- a very healthy option for those who are making an effort. Mmm, yum! Note that the food servings are quite large and should be shared among the table, and that way you can try numerous dishes.
Finally for desert, don't forget to try out the deep-fried banana with ice cream. Simple, yet very savourous, it is a great way to finish of a meal. Best part yet --- all of this is generous to your wallet, having a very reasonable price range of $10.00 - $15.00.

I've wanted to visit this restaurant for a while, so I'm glad that you really like it!
ReplyDeleteMy dad always says that he wants to go to a Thai restaurant, but he never follows through with it... Now I'll really have to convince him to go! Plus, we've never had pad Thai... so this is something that we'll definitely have to try out! And fried banana? That's a must.
ReplyDeleteThai food is great and always delicious. I have gone to eat some Thai restaurants in Taiwan, but never eat at here. So this will be a good chance with my family to go there.
ReplyDeleteThai food is my favourite! I might have to take this restaurant into consideration.
