Eat every menu item at Mae Phim

I haven’t been to Mae Phim since we moved offices, so I don’t think this’ll happen. When I go again I’ll probably just get my usual #21.

today i’m eating #22, pad kee mao. it’s very tasty. and today was the first time i’ve ordered 3-stars on pupose. i’m enjoying the extra kick.

Yes, it had baby corn, as well as mushrooms, onions, and bamboo shoots. Nice mix of textures, slightly garlicky.

Cabbage, bean sprouts, green onions, broccoli, and carrots. Nice variety of vegetables (cabbage is one of my favorite underrated vegetables), but the sauce was not that interesting.

Today I got “Today’s Special”—asparagus, mushrooms, and carrots with chicken. Does it count as a menu item if it’s not on the menu? And what about all of the Today’s Specials that I might have missed?

I made a list to track your completion:

• #12 Ginger chicken (I like ginger, but not as much as Laurel)
• #15 Sweet & sour chicken (too much sweet, not enough sour)
• #23 Baby corn chicken (I like baby corn, but I don’t think it deserves to headline a dish)
• #24 Lemon grass chicken (similar sauce as the baby corn dish)

I love ginger, and this one had plenty of shredded fresh ginger. The mushrooms are good too. The sauce is pretty similar to the hot/salty/garlicky sauce on the #5 and #21.

from scott’s suggestion, i’m noshing on a #14 as I write this.

Chicken in yellow curry with cashews and the standard onions and red and green peppers. A little on the sweet side for me.
