It’s always bittersweet when friends you love move away. You’re happy for them for their great opportunity but know it will be sad to not have them around all the time. We went out for dinner with D, who was moving to The Emerald Isle. Our outings with D are usually for sushi or thai and this time, it was one of our faves, Thai Boat.
Since Q had skipped his nap, we wanted to keep him happy for the short time before his bedtime. We ordered his favourites, vegetarian spring rolls and calamari. The spring rolls were great, full of veggies, and he finished off the plate.
The calamari was not your traditional calamari, but boy was it good! The squid was coated in a thick batter, almost onion ring-like. The best part was the sweet and tangy sauce that it was served with.
My favourite dish of the night was the Panang Curry. We ordered it with chicken and shrimp and it was so tasty! The curry was fragrant and so satisfying. I could have eaten this dish by myself.
Our second curry was the Beef in Red Curry. This was a mild curry, so perfect for me, and full of flavour. We have had this dish before with chicken and we all agreed that the red curry tasted better with it rather than the beef. We ordered coconut rice to absorb the curry which added even more flavour.
We rounded up the meal with our usual, Pad Thai with chicken. It was a good noodle dish, and would satisfy any craving. We did have Pad Thai a few days earlier elsewhere though, and unfortunately, it didn’t compare.
It was a good meal with an awesome friend. Good luck in Ireland D! You will be missed!
