eating our way through salt lake city

this week we've been eating our way

through salt lake city. since we are

constantly featuring amazing

restaurants in san francisco and

all over when we travel, i was 

excited to showcase the best of

the best in salt lake city during

this visit home. SLC, you've been

showing off and i've never been so full...

not eating for a week when i get back

to san francisco! mmmm!

as you probably know, we LOVE thai

food and try about one new pad thai

dish per week in san francisco on our

"search for the best pad thai."

well...we may need to come to

salt lake city more often because

i finally tried thai siam this trip

and it knocked our socks off!

not only was their pad thai flavor

perfect and restored my love of

pad thai, but the entire menu

is incredible...we would know,

we tried almost every dish!

my dad came with me and we

ate WAY too much but loved it.

^^ i am in love with the exterior of thai siam.

easy to spot when you're driving down state street!

^^ first things first: the curry puff appetizer might have 

been our very favorite thing. please get this when you

go to thai siam. most delicious yellow curry inside

puff pastry. it's genius and i would get it every time.

^^ he agrees. (he's going to kill me for this picture! :)

 ^^ spring roll appetizer

^^ the papaya salad is so fresh + unique.

great flavor and a really healthy option.

^^ another MUST-ORDER. coconut soup.

heaven on earth. how have i never had this

at another thai place? incredible.

^^ their yellow curry was delicious with

just the right amount of spice. i liked that

the veggies were out of the sauce and not

soggy like some other thai places. delish!

^^ now for the real question: how was the pad thai?

top notch. i was so happy because we've had so much bland,

average pad thai recently trying spots around san francisco, i

was starting to question my love for pad thai. not anymore!

thai siam's version restored it :). the sauce had the perfect

kick to it, it was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. i was so 

full but still ate almost this entire plate because i was so

happy for a pad thai done right! i wish chase had come in

town with me so he could have tried this one. we'll be back!

^^ soaking up every date with my dad that i can get

before my parents are off to south africa for 3 years! :( 

^^ our cute waitress brought out our favorite dessert.

can't beat mango coconut sticky rice!

^^ i'd say he liked it!

^^ so fun to meet the great people behind 

this restaurant! amy & lee are the best.

 thanks, thai siam! i will be back with

chase next time we come to town!
