Pad Thai is the “it” dish of Thai cuisine in our hometown. And we have lots of restaurants that serve it: My Thai, Thai Rice, Hunan Gourmet, Fuzasion, Café Kyoko. The list goes on… But where to go for a dish of that perfect pad thai. Those tender noodles redolent with garlic and shallots , perked up by a squeeze of lime and tamarind . Mmm hmmmmm! Soft and sweet and salt and crunch all in one bite! It is a fabulous little dish – simple to prepare and easy on the wallet.
But if this is what you expect to find at our local
That’s it for this week’s Dining Diva.

I miss Fuzasion...it's just not the same now that it's changed names/hands!!
It's a shame. I guess more people wanted straight up Thai than a blend of multiple countries. I haven't been to the new place. Is it any good?
I'm not a huge fan of fusion-style cooking. In general, I have found that when an Asian restaurant tries to appeal to too many tastes, everything ends up tasting Polynesian rather than cuisine specific.
The green curry at Thai Rice is to die for! Any version -- my fav: veggie with a little tofu!
My asian friends look at Pad Sie Ewe (street noodles) as the acid test of a Thai restaurant.
We've decided that My Thai has the best Pad Sie Ewe in Frederick.
We also enjoy how we are always warmly greeted by My Thai's owner Sam. Introduce yourself to Sam and he will make you your favorite dish to your liking.
Sounds like I will have to order the Pad Si Ewe on my next visit to My Thai.
FWIW, my kids (lovers of sugar that they are) adore the peanut sauce from Thai Rice. The combination of lots of peanut taste and lots of sugar make it a favorite after-school snack. I but a quart of it at a time - the kids dip cucumbers and red bell peppers in it and also like to pour it over coooked rice.
Hey..I'm not saying it's the healthiest snack out there- but it does encourage my teens to eat some veggies
Acacia had a good version on their menu....
