🇺🇸 Monterey｜🍍 This Thai Restaurant Is a Must-Try! 😭

I’ve been in Monterey for two years and just tried Zab Zab — it’s seriously delicious! 🌟 My recommendations: 1️⃣ Pineapple Fried Rice: Wok hei perfection! 🍍🔥 Choose chicken, pork, or tofu. Add shrimp for +$4.99. Served in a real pineapple — the fruit is fresh, not canned-sweet. Generous portion — I had leftovers for another meal! Note: Reheating pineapple changes its flavor, so I added fresh pieces when eating later. So good! 2️⃣ Green Papaya Salad: Refreshing and tangy 🥗 Perfect balance of chili and lime — mildly spicy and sour. Crisp green papaya, great as an appetizer. Portion is light — ideal for two. 3️⃣ Pineapple Red Curry: Rich and aromatic 🍛 Choice of chicken, beef, pork, or tofu. Made with pineapple, red bell pepper, carrot, and coconut milk — mildly spicy. Served with rice. A beautifully presented curry — perfect for one! 4️⃣ Chicken Satay: Marinated in coconut and turmeric 🍢 Served with peanut sauce and a tangy cucumber relish. Solid but not outstanding — though the sour dipping sauce is delicious! 5️⃣ Zab Zab Vegan Spring Rolls: Fresh and tasty 🥬 Best eaten fresh — the wrapper hardens if taken out. Comes with peanut sauce. 💵 Around $35 per person. Portions vary: Curries are smaller, but Pineapple Fried Rice and Pad Thai are generous. If you’re a light eater, one dish can easily last two meals! ✨ Name: Zab Zab Thai Cuisine 📍 Address: 401 Lighthouse Ave, Monterey, CA 93940 #ThaiFood #HiddenGem #ExoticCuisine #MustReturn #Monterey #CaliforniaLife #MontereyBay
