Finally at the Thai restaurant, which was pretty decently decorated,













after looking at the menu, I decided to get the Moo Yang with Sticky Rice (Marinated Pork with Palm Sugar and Thai BBQ Sauce with sticky rice) appetizer, and the Boat Trip Noodle Soup (beef noodle soup with slow simmered beef, cilantro, basil leaves, bean sprouts, watercress, scallion, topped with crispy garlic)

To be honest the best part of the meal was not what I ordered, but the free sweet tea that kept being served to me all night. The dishes themselves at best were average, though still tasty. I even had to add the sauce from the appetizer to the noodles to make it up to my standard in taste.

I would probably not recommend trying this place, although I have to say the "water" was a pleasant surprise for me when I first tasted it.
