Typhoon, Portland

Lamb shank
Tom Yum noodles
Stir-fried vegetable
It was a chilly evening and we walked into a nearby Thai food restaurant, thinking that something spicy might warm us up. It was promising initially, we saw Thai cooks working in the kitchen and there were delicious aromas wafting from its direction. Unfortunately every single item presented to us was too sweet; it's American Thai food, not Thai Thai food. At the end of the meal we were left with a sick cloying feeling of having had a dessert version of a meal and not real food. I wonder if people realise how much sugar they are inadvertently consuming.
