Basil Thai

As everyone knows, it will be Valentine's Day tomorrow!! =DD

and I know of a nice place to take a date to that actually prepared a menu, specially for Valentine's day! The food there are also of reasonable price and good standard.

BASIL THAI!

Though it is usually dabbles in Thai food and bubble tea, Basil Thai has actually went out of its way to create a very attractive seven course meal. All dishes served then are not served on the daily menu, and some of the dishes are not of Thai origin, so it is a really special offer!

On an average day, Basil Thai offers five basic types of Thai food. Rice, Soups, Salads, Noodles and Curry.

When I went there, I tried the Hot and Sour noodle. It was not spicy to me at all, but the shrimp (additional $2) was plentiful and the noodle firm, so i enjoyed it nonetheless. My companions had the Green Curry Chicken, Pad Ga-Prow and Pad Khing. They all agreed that the food was good. They finished every single morsel of food on their plates. If you want an extra spicy kick, ask for fish sauce with chilli. It is a sweet and salty concotion sure to burn your taste buds and yet have you craving for more.

Basil is actually best known for its bubble tea as it is the closest bubble tea shop to campus. However, I did not drink it that time round as I was watching my waistline. But based on memory, the milk teas were the best though the 'bubbles' in the tea sometimes lacked the chewiness and firmness of those found in Asian countries. I recommend the Thai iced-tea. It is an ideal way to cook down on a hot day and to satisfy your sweet tooth during summer which is fast approaching.

Basil Thai restaurant has a very comfortable and homey feel. However, if you ever dine-in during winter, try to get a table as far away from the door as possible. This is because if the door to the restaurant continuously opens and closes, letting the cold air in, which can potentially ruin your meal.

And if you don't feel like trekking through the snow, ice and sleet to get good food, you can also ring them up for delivery. They do dine-in, take-out and catering! They are a great alternative to the usual Papa Johns or Mad Mushrooms.

Basil Thai is also located next to a Hookah bar, Hookah!, so after a satisfying meal, you can sit back and relax with your friends over a few puffs. However, be warned, do not order the dessert from Hookah!, it is simply not worth it.
