So what's good? I recommend the stawberry flavored chicken

With a limited selection of restaurants in our immediate area near our office, Bear and I regularly frequent a place called "Born Street Stakehouse." The name is misleading because it's not a steak house and the name of the steet where it's located is actually 'Bond St.' But that's beside the point-- it has quality Thai food, classy atmosphere, and affordable prices. Not wanting to effort the two blocks to eat there, we decided to order in.

Bear places the should-be simple order of: 2 steamed rice, 1 lemon-grass chicken, 2 masiman curry, and 2 ice-teas with milk.

But the regular guy who speaks better-than-average-broken-english was absent, and in his place, Bear was forced to talk to three different people to get the right order. He suspected that the last person who could finally understand what he wanted was most likely a customer.

After 20 minutes, we get our order: 2 steamed rice, 2 masiman, 1 french fries, and 1 grilled chicken, and 2 ice-teas with no milk. Not bad... In fact, they were pretty damn close. But the most troubling thing was that the grilled chicken tasted like strawberries. How you can make chicken taste like strawberries, I haven't a guess, but it was delicious. Not an overwhelmingly pungent taste, but just a subtle hint.

So here's the lesson: What you expect may differ form what you actually get, but don't get angry because it just might taste remarkably like stawberry. And who doesn't like stawberry?
