Drinks -- living large. I had a Coke, he had a Singha. They were out of Chang beer, which was listed on the menu.
These are the spring rolls. Note the garnish that came with these.
A close up of the garnish, which turns out to be zucchini and carrot. The carrot was apparently one single piece. It was pretty darn fancy.
Chicken penang curry. The chicken was really tender, and the curry sauce had a nice sweet taste to it, with just a touch of pepper.
Beef with broccoli and mushrooms in oyster sauce. The onions were nice and sweet. And the mushrooms were tasty. One thing I love about being here is the wide variety of mushrooms and produce, all of which is usually served at peak ripeness.
Thai Orchid was really good. We had to wait a little bit when we first arrived, but once they started seating people, it was pretty quick. The menu had lots of options, but with only two people, it's not really effective to order more than 2 main courses. They also had a promotion during the month of March with a 20% discount. They also had discounts on wines, but we didn't feel like a whole bottle of wine with dinner - he wanted a beer, and I didn't want that much wine. Besides, after dinner and our walk, we headed over to Kabinett for a couple of glasses of wine.
After dinner, we wandered around Itaewon for a bit. Ran into a co-worker. Here is the view of Gecko's and the Footloose Bar from the alley behind the Hamilton Hotel. Every time I see this sign for Footloose, I think of the movie.
At the end of Itaewon street, where it hits the base, there are these two trees lit up with red and white lights. I see these every single evening from the bus when I go home at the end of the day.
One reason it's hard to be homesick - Starbucks and the All American Diner. We haven't tried the diner yet, but we've heard they have a brunch on weekends.
