May 19th, 2010-Chiangmai

Shalom,

For this weeks meal we visited Chiangmai in Conshohocken. We've done Asian Fusion when we visited Azie, but we wanted to experience a traditional Thai meal. It's a small restaurant with a homey feel and appropriate decor that creates a foreign atmosphere with extensive design. While it's not a particularly big place size wise, it's a place with a big attitude. The hostess came up to us upon our arrival and seated us instantly. After, our waitress brought us our drinks and gave us the perfect amount of time to figure out our order. Once our order was placed our drinks were refreshed. Shortly after, the appetizers arrived. We had the Tulip Dumplings, Crispy Rolls, and Som Tum Salad. The Dumplings and Rolls were delicious, but the salad was sub par. Not something that we would recommend. Also, the portions were rather small but still satisfactory and ranged from $4 to $10 dollars. About ten minutes later we were served our entrees. We tried the Softshell crabs, Bold and Spicy Shrimp, and Chicken Pad Thai. The Softshell crabs were a special and we were glad we caught it. The shrimp wasn't as spicy as expected, but still good, and the chicken pad thai was some of the best we've had. All ranged in price from $11 to $20 dollars. Even though we skipped out on desert, we were pleased with our meal and our experience and while we may not recommend the salads, we were pleased with every other aspect of our meal. We hope if you chose to dine at Chiangmai that you enjoy your meal as much as we enjoyed ours!
