During the pandemic, I craved Thai food. There were a handful of Thai eateries that I had tried around me. The one that I liked was in my neighbourhood, within walking distance, which has been my go-to Thai place.
Well, I now have two. An in-person Yelp feast happened at Sukho Thai a couple of weeks ago. I had never been to this restaurant. It's in my neighbourhood, within walking distance. It is where Day and Night Angus Steakhouse was for many years.
I got to sample the following drink and starters during the feast:
- Limeade - It was purple thanks to pea flower powder in it. I loved it. It had a touch of sweetness, but with the tang and tartness of lime.
- Shrimp chips with tamarind, and sweet and spicy dipping sauces - The shrimp chips were crispy and thicker than regular potato chips. The tamarind sauce was tangy and a touch sweet. The sweet and spicy sauce had a nice kick to it.
- Mango salad - Yum! The mango wasn't overly sweet. It was on a crispy, thin rice chip. It was refreshing.
- Spring rolls - Delicious, veggie, and crispy.
- Zucchini fritters - Although I'm not a squash person, if you fry zucchini fritters, I will eat them. They were delicious with the right amount of salt.
- Tom yum soup - It had a lot of perfectly cooked veggies. The broth was light and tangy.
The mains came out next:
- Pad thai - Outstanding. You mix chopped peanuts in. I particularly liked the green onions, chicken, and bean sprouts with the rice noodles and fabulous sauce that coated everything.
- Green curry with veggies - Yummy! It was flavourful with coconut milk as the base. The veggies were delicious.
- Red curry with chicken - It also had coconut milk. Fantastic! The chicken was tender. I loved both curry sauces that I poured them on my steamed rice!
We got dessert:
- Coconut pandan gelato - It was melting fast, so I had it first. It was creamy with a slight hint of pandan. The coconut flavour was more present. It was yummy.
- Cassava coconut - The cassava coconut had some chopped nuts in it. It had a jello-like consistency to it. I loved the shredded coconut around each cube. The dessert didn't have a whole lot of flavour and wasn't sweet. I ended up dipping it into my melted gelato, which made these cubes fabulous to enjoy.
In short, everything was yummy.
I returned the next day to pick up a small tub of gelato. I had no problem finding a parking spot in this plaza. I backed into a spot and walked in.
I waited at the frost counter. It was a busy night. I had a cheerful woman take my order. I asked her what flavours of gelato she had. The coconut pandan one was available. She also said thai milk tea; and mango, coconut, and lime. I went with the latter.
All gelato flavours are by Death in Venice Gelato Co. It runs a bit high at $12 for a small tub. However, it's worth it. It's vegan and you really can't tell that it is.
She entered my name and phone number in the system. I paid with a credit card. I tapped my card and the transaction was completed.
She went into the kitchen to get my tub of gelato. She came back with it and placed it in a paper bag. I thanked her and left the eatery, excited to have dessert after dinner.
The mango, coconut, and lime gelato was excellent. It was tropical heaven with every creamy spoonful that I devoured. It was creamy with a lot of flavour. It was slightly sweet.
It's so worth shelling out for quality gelato without any dairy.
I still need to go back and order dinner from this place. I am content returning for gelato, knowing that I like everything that I have devoured from this eatery so far.
