We were picking up some lunch to bring over to family and since we were staying basically at DIX30…read moreand again recommended that this place was loved by the niece, we decided to try out Siam.
Siam is located on a second level in one of the buildings in DIX30. Parking can be on the street, but go into the underground parking as it's free and well you can basically walk around to the right building underground when it's super snowing or cold and pop up in the right building. It's pretty amazing, but I guess this is standard in snowy climate areas.
When you walk to Siam, there is seating inside if you're wanting to eat there. Just remember to bring your Covid card to prove your vaccination status and also just make sure to check to make sure you know the requirements when dining in as the rules seem to change every where not just in Canada.
We were here just to pick up, so we ordered ahead and it was fairly straight forward. We got a variety of items but of what I had was pad see ew, beef jerky, and panang curry (descriptions and pricing below)
BŒUF SÉCHÉ SIAM - $13.95
SIAM BEEF JERKY
Bœuf mariné, séché et frit. Salade de papaye marinée et sauce lime et poisson. // Marinated beef, dried and deep fried, marinated papaya salad and fish & lime sauce.
~ This was truly a jerky. It was hard, but very very flavorful and went well with the fish and lime sauce. I don't think I'd get this again but it was something different that we've never had from a Thai spot.
CARI PANANG AU BŒUF - $30.95
BEEF IN PANANG CURRY
Bœuf braisé, cari Panang, lait de coco, feuille de kaffir // Braised beef, Panang curry, coconut milk, kaffir leaves
~ Very flavorful curry. I would totally get this again but wowsers, that price is kind of giving me a heart attack.
PAD SEEW - $23.95
Bœuf, nouilles de riz, gailan, œuf, sauce soya // Beef, rice noodles, Gailan, egg, soy sauce
~ Pretty standard pad see ew. I wish there was more veggies, but there was plenty of beef!
Overall, very expensive Thai food but that seems to be the case when we're not in the US. It was all quite standard with good flavors. Missing a lot of veggies, but then again not many Thai dishes focus on veggies (well nothing in Canada seems to be heavy in veggies). Good to try but can't say it was the best Thai I've ever had.
