To-Go Thai

 SILK THAI
TACOMA, WASHINGTON
I usually go for Vietnamese food but when it comes to Thai food the only place I go in Tacoma is Silk Thai.  They have such an amazing menu, they can satisfy even the picky eater.  I started off with a Tofu Salad Roll and as you can see from the picture even to-go food can look delicious.

 Miang Kum is something I have never tried before.  you take a spinach and you add a little bit of toasted coconut, lime, onion, ginger, dehydrated shrimp, peanuts, Thai peppers, shallots and "Suki's Signature Sauce."  I was unsure of this dish as soon as I smelled the Shrimp, but as soon as all the components married together.... heaven!  the sweetness from the coconut, the salty shrimp, the slowly creeping spice of the peppers and the zing of ginger.  TOTAL WINNER in my book.

Five-Spice Crispy Duck.  Duck is my favorite protein when it comes to fowl Now I like my duck cooked more on the medium rare side and usually with a sweet to balance the heaviness of the duck. This was such an amazing dish is was glazed in cinnamon plum sauce that complimented the duck so well. It also came with a side of spicy green beans, cucumber, green onion and cilantro. FIVE STARS.

Now don't judge this delicious dish by the picture.  Black Rice Pudding is the best thing to happen to coconut since Malibu Rum.  The rice is always cooked so it almost pops in your mouth when you bite into it.  It is creamy, sweet but a little on the heavy side but leaves you completely satisfied.  Thank you Silk Thai for making my dinner at home so delicious.
