Saffron Thai

Social distancing regulations.
Back in the old days I remember a squeaky old screen door that kept the flies out.  Scent of Thai spices filled the air.  Inside was cramped and you could see the well worn kitchen that served decades worth of meals.  Now the place has a modern look like new fast casual spots.

I ordered a whole chicken to go.  Skin was nice and crispy and had delicious flavor from the Thai spices.  Chicken was a bit overcooked as non of the pieces were juicy.  Also the meat without skin were light on flavor.  They don’t pump their chickens full of salt like Costco.
There was a variety of sauces available for purchase but non of them tempted me.
I also added a small white rice to my order.  Loved the light jasmine flavor.  I would prefer my rice a bit more moist.  The apocalypse is a good time to visit as there were parking spots right in front.  Usually they are all filled.

Back in the old days I remember the chicken having more flavor and being closer to juicy.  Kirk of mmm-yoso has visited too.

  1. Nice pictures of the chicken and the menu! Maybe next visit the chicken won’t be dry.
