I didn’t really start eating Thai food until I was well into my adult life. I absolutely love Thai food now. Luckily the San Jose area has lots of great Thai restaurants, so it’s easy to get very good Thai food.
My favorite dishes are mainly vegetarian and seafood dishes. I love red curry with vegetables, a seafood soup they make at one of the local restaurants, basil tofu and basil eggplant.
If you enjoy wine with your food, call the restaurant you’re going to first to find out if they serve Gewurztraminer. If they do not and you live in a place where you can take your own wine into a restaurant get a bottle of Gewurztraminer and take it with you. A nice medium dry (slightly sweet) Gewurztraminer is fantastic with Thai food. If you can’t get a decent Gewurzt, then try getting a medium dry Reisling.
