It's been a while since my last blog, but I'm back and ready to give your tastebuds a joy ride. Tonight, my friend and I decided to try Siam House, a restaurant on the ethnic 4th Street, right behind Kirkwood. We were starving, but the restaurant was extremely crowded, so we decided to sit outside on the patio. There was a nice breeze and a sparkling ambiance of being outdoors. I was craving Thai food, but not your typical Pad Thai or Curry dish. I chose the Seafood Speciality called Goong Ob Woon-Sen. It was a clay pot filled thin translucent bean noodles, bright coral-colored cooked shrimp, soft, squishy Shiitake mushrooms and green onions in a soupy ginger-garlic sauce. The sun had begun to set and the nice breeze had turned into one with a bit of a chill as we anxiously awaited our meals to arrive. My meal came out steaming hot, the heat from the dish provided me with an instant warmth. I drizzled a tangy citrus sauce on top of my meal and started with a twisted forkful of the bean thread noodles. The noodles were thin, but it was a heaping forkful, making them appear to be of a larger thickness. The mushrooms were soft, the green onions were fresh and crunchy. Shrimp is one of my favorite foods and these were cooked to perfection. They were plump and delicious. The steam from the sauce left my mouth on fire. I continued to eat, hoping that there would be leftovers...sadly there weren't, but finishing it was completely worth it.
