Tangthai, Cuisine of Thailand (Robson & Denman, Vancouver)

January 29, 2010 – 22:03

Disclosure: cmp.ly/1 – This dinner was on the house. There was no expectation to review or blog about it, I am doing this solely because I want to.

This post will be a double whammy feature, with both myself and Jeff providing the commentary. This is great for you AND me because he may cover things that I may have left out & vice versa. It also means you, the reader, have a hell of a lot more to read. Enjoy!

For ease of reading, Kevin’s thoughts will be in GREEN, and Jeff’s will be in BLUE.

Jeff was my company for the night, and also my notetaker. The first time I’ve ever had to resort to taking notes at a restaurant, mainly because of the sheer amount of food I knew we would be having and also because of the unfamiliar names we would undoubtedly happen upon.

He would have been totally lost without me.

Ben of Chowtimes invited me and some other bloggers for a tasting at TangThai downtown. He had already reviewed their first location on Broadway, and they contacted him for help with their newest endeavour into the competitive downtown core. His suggestion for a blogger dinner was taken into account and here we were on a weekday night.

Thank you to Sonia and Deo for inviting us and Ben for organizing this event. It was a pleasure meeting some of the top food bloggers Vancouver has to offer and the passion that these people have for food is unreal.

In attendance was Sherman (Shermans Food Adventures, you can see him just to the right in the below picture), Jenny & Ricky (Secret Eden), Mijune (Follow Me Foodie), Jeff and I (604 Foodtography), and Ben and Suanne (Chow Times).

Before the meal began, Sonia and Deo (the owners) came out to personally greet us. From outside (1st picture) you can see they have an upstairs portion of the restaurant. Unfortunately, they were still waiting for some furniture to arrive so it wasn’t open for public yet. They did let us upstairs to take a look. From up there, there’s a nice eagle eyes view of the space downstairs, and you can even peek into the kitchen a bit. The space does hold a commanding view of the street below, and I foresee it being extremely busy up there come summertime.

The inside is beautifully decorated with Thai statues, sculptures and other pieces of art.

Sawasdee Thai

Two weeks ago when summer was still here, we were lounging around in Kevins backyard pool. Since we had already made lunch, kevin suggested we go out for dinner elsewhere, and he took us to his favorite Thai restaurant. He kept mentioning that we were special because he didn’t take much people here. Think of this as me “blowing up your spot” Kevin.

Located on Main and 28th, this little restaurant with it’s bright green exterior shouldn’t be hard to miss. Other restaurants in the area include The Main, Splitz Grill, and Grub. As a side note, these three I have yet to try out, and hopefully by me putting them down like this, I will remind myself to visit them. Or you could take me… yea you, I see you reading this.

It’s always a nice sign when a restaurant proudly displays their awards right at their entrance.

Asian Location Malaysian Richmond Thai

Tropika (Aberdeen Centre)

July 8, 2009 – 15:00

I just had a huge brain fart and forgot to post about this.

After the bloggers dinner at Alvin Garden, I met some friends at Aberdeen Centre in Richmond for the Qoola grand opening. They arrived before us and were hungry so they went to Tropika, which was coincidentally next to the new location of Qoola

Coming from dinner, I was really full still so I just sat there and took pictures of the food, even though they kept telling me to have some. I guess I should have, because I realized after when I got home how the heck I was gonna blog about it. I did take a bite of the roti and a sip of the drink, but that was it. I guess this will be more of a photo essay than anything.

A drink to share for the two, an interesting and unique bowl. Adds to the feel and atmosphere of the restaurant.
