REVIEW: Thai Lao Orchid

So tired today. Late night. My poor tired eyes. Running around entertaining others is arduous work. When did I get so old?

For supper tonight ended up @ The Legacy @ 281 and 1604 for our first visit to Thai Lao Orchid.  Do I remember this place being on Wurzbach and IH10?

Started out with the clear noodle chicken soup.  It was stove hot.  The hotness of the soup masked just how bland this soup really was made.  My kingdom for a pepper shaker or something. 

Always I have to try the Pad Woon Sen, here labeled Pad Woonsent, at every Thai restaurant I find.  This one had broccoli in the list of ingredients.  Michael does not do broccoli. 

I had to pick from mild, medium or spicy for my dish.  I chose spicy.  Next time I might choose medium, the sucker was hot! 

My dish was really tasty. Large pork portions and plenty of fresh mixed vegetables albeit spicy, spicy, spicy. Love me some glass noodles.

3.5 Stars out of 5

PS:  For a restaurant lacking in customers, there were only three other tables occupied when we walked in, the cook took his sweet time preparing our dishes.

PPS:  We could hear a ding, ding like the ding of a microwave announcing it's completion, coming from the kitchen area every 7 minutes or so.  After a while this was very annoying.

PPPS:  I was too full to try the sticky rice dessert.  Boo.
