Pongsri Thai- Take 2

9 Jun

This isn’t my first post about Pongsri Thai and I’m sure it won’t be my last. This time I found myself there with my friend Travis. 

Travis proved that the Big Bird’s Love Nest is just too irresistible a name to resist.

I went with something brand new to stay healthy (I love Thai but I always order either Pad Thai or Pad See Ew). It was tons of sauteed veggies with shrimp in a garlic ginger sauce.  DELISH! I hardly missed my noodles for eating a whole plate for 7.5 points.

And that left me with points left for… dessert!  We decided to try the Coconut Ice Cream Delight which was young coconut, taro, jackfruit and palm seeds.  I couldn’t stop eating this and was happy the portion was small and Travis graciously shared some.  I counted it for 4 points… so hard to tell with ice cream!

Overall, Pongsri is reliable and delicious.  It’s also in a pretty convenient area (there are 3 in the city).

Pongsri Thai

7 Jul

One of my best friends (and fellow food blogger) Lori and I have a good old standby Thai place that is always good… and cheap.  Pongsri Thai’s menu is famous between Lori and I for laughs with dishes named “Prince Kermit” (frog’s legs) and “Big Bird’s Love Nets” (hard noodle nest with chicken, pineapple, and veggies inside).  The teenage boys inside of us also get a kick out of reading the spice list that mentions the “erect” nature of the plants and some terrible English translations.  As a person allergic to peppers, I have to be careful with Thai food (although I love it), so I usually go with the Pad Thai or Pad See Ewe.  This time I went with Pad Thai and it didn’t dissapoint. 

Lori went more creative and ordered The Big Bird Love Nest (which she had eaten and enjoyed before).  She found it very enjoyable (no comment from yours truly due to the peppers).

We managed to save room for dessert and Lori got the pumpkin coconut custard while I went for my old standby favorite, mango and sticky rice.  The pumpkin coconut custard had great flavor (and even texture! which was concerning upon first glance).  My mango and sticky rice could have had riper fruit and stickier rice, but I still enjoyed.


Reliable and cheap.
