Thai
Room Service in Hell’s Kitchen
I just realized how creepy that title is.
But the Room Service I’m talking about is the fairly new Thai restaurant that just got cozy on 9th Ave between 47th and 48th. The restaurant itself is gorgeously outfitted in silvers and blacks, and aligned with a pretty ratio of chandeliers and mirrors that makes you feel like you’re actually eating at a nice swanky hotel.
I’ve always passed by and wanted to eat here and finally got a chance recently with a friend who has eaten here a few times before and loves it herself. We ordered the Tamarind Dish and Pad See Euw.

Thai Market in Harlem
Three things I seldom do, if ever: (1) trek up to Harlem for dinner, (2) order a seafood starter; (3) go for steak at a Thai place.
But if my trip to Thai Market taught me anything, it’s that sometimes change is good…Great.
Salmon Wrap, $7
I miss everything in Berlin, especially the food.
I recently went to Berlin for a couple of days, and in retrospect, I don’t think any of the food I had were signature “German” dishes. My new friend Nina, who took us around, said they’re big on sausage. I don’t eat sausage, so this was a problem.
We were staying in the Mitte area of the city, and the first night we stopped in a place called Courage Cafe. Cheesy name, I know, but the food was SO tasty that it totally made up for that fact.
Galanga thai in Greenwich Village
Had an delicious thai dinner with my friend Nabila recently at Galanga in Greenwich Village (see, I eat on the West side too!!).
She’s been before, so I left the ordering to her. We got an order of noodle soup, the Chiangmai Noodles with curry sauce and tofu ($9), which was pretty sizeable portion. We weren’t exactly starving, so this plate was more than enough for both of us.
Sea thai bistro in the East Village
This was one of the first thai places I ever tried in the city. It used to be my favorite, but I don’t know — recently I feel like the quality has been dwindling a bit.
