FROM BANGKOK 54 on NACOGDOCHES RD

Nacogdoches Road is undergoing all kinds of major construction so it is surprising that a business would start-up during all that mess. Met up with neighbors Alma & Ralph & friend Irma at Bangkok 54 Thai Cuisine for some good food and good conversation. This restaurant got good reviews by the local newspaper food critic so we thought we'd give it a try.

We started out with the Kanom Jeep: steamed dumplings with minced pork, Thai herbs & water chestnuts served with Thai sweet brown sauce. This was pretty good and would definitely have it again. The presentation was well made.

We also had the Summer roll: mixed rice noodles with vegetables and shrimp. This was super fresh and super appetizing.

I was able to substitute pork for the tofu on the Pad Woon Sen Jae: Stir-fired bean noodles with eggs, tomatoes and onions. It was good but could have used another notch up the spice ladder.

Everyone enjoyed their respective dishes and said they would come back again. All in all the prices were reasonable; the wait staff was fast and courteous and the food was tasty. I will try this place again too. Maybe for lunch.
