Thai

I want to talk about Thai while I still have the wonderful meal I had at Thai Thani (I Drive and Central FL Parkway) a few nights ago fresh in my mind. While there are deffinitely a few other places I find acceptable this has become by far my favorite over the past year or so since I found it. It's hard to peg down one specific dish to call my favorite so I alternate between the Three Tastes Fish (fish of the day fried whole or fileted in a spicy garlicy sauce) and the Spicy Chili Prawns either way I usually get an order of the house fried rice which tastes of curry and is incredible if you order it Thai Hot. Theres just something about the Thai iced tea here that I can't get enough of, I usually finish my first one in about 30 seconds flat. I wouldnt neccessarily call this place expensive but deffinitely not cheap either, dinner for two without any cocktails will run you about $40, fair price for yummy Thai food.
A new addition to Orlando's Thai scene is Tang's in the Dr. Phillips Marketplace. While not extremely authentic it boasts a small menu of French and American influenced dishes with the flavors you would expect from a Thai chef. I oredered the daily fish special and chose the grouper over salmon (easy choice), the entire table agreed this one was the best. But I did try my husband's braised short ribs which were incredible as well. Not suprisingly my favorite was dessert, the manager brought us over a Thai doughnut, my only complaint is he didn't bring two. Great little place that I think everyone should try when they don't mind spending a bit of money.
Other good places to check out: Red Bamboo on Kirkman and I Drive, Royal Thai on Semoran, I've heard excellent things about Thai House although I'm not too certain where on Colonial it is. And luckily for the rest of the places here I've yet to have a remarkably bad Thai meal in Orlando, but don't get me started on some of the places I've checked out while on the road.
