Living!: Pass the Poo!

You'll have to read on to understand the title of this post!

As if I didn't already have enough to eat, we ended yesterday with dinner at Marnee Thai Restaurant. From the authentically styled interior - it reminded me of eating at some of the local eateries when I worked in Korat, Thailand - to the clothing of the staff, it was a fun dining experience. Having tried many, many Thai restaurants and eating at restaurants in Bangkok and Korat, Thailand I am a good judge of authentic Thai dishes. Marnee has some of the best Thai food I've ever had. If you like Thai food you should definitely eat here if you're in the Bay Area. The best part of Marnee Thai Restaurant is the older lady who asks as hostess, as well as server. Unfortunately the restaurant was busy enough that we weren't able to have a conversation with her, but she is quite the character. With a signature limp and boisterous voice, we enjoyed listening to her give instructions to the staff back in the kitchen loudly, as well as make judgments about and tell the future of her customers based on how her customers were speaking and interacting with her. It was all very amusing and accentuated the unique experience of dining at Marnee Thai.

A new dish for me was the Chan Pad Poo (yes, the tongue-in-cheek title of this post). According to the menu it's "spicy fried rice stick noodles sauteed with crab meat, egg and green onions". It was delicious! Here are the dishes that made up our meal and led me to loosening my belt (gasp!).
