Authentic and very authentic

📍 3031 Merchant Wy unit 117, Langford, BC V9B 3Y7 This Thai restaurant sits near Langford Westshore—it’s not the biggest spot, with a long, narrow layout, but it’s a cool mix of traditional and creative Thai dishes. Some are authentically classic, others have that Americanized twist, so there’s something for everyone. Heads up: during peak hours, servers are totally swamped—you’ll wait ages to flag someone down—but they’re friendly once they get to you! 😊 ✅ A5 Peeg Gai Tod 💰18.5 Crispy chicken wings (with the tips!), and they’re piping hot when they hit the table—watch your fingers! The skin is fried to this incredible shatteringly crisp texture—they really know how to fry here. It’s a little greasy, but there’s no gross oily aftertaste, which is a win. The chicken inside is plump and tender—they picked good quality chicken, for sure. Biting into it feels a bit like eating KFC’s original recipe, in the best way! The dip is honey sauce, though—I’m not a fan. It just makes the wings feel greasier. A sweet-sour or spicy-sour dip would’ve been way better. 🍗 ✅ S4 Tom Kah Goong 💰18.5 Creamy coconut prawn soup—total classic Thai flavor! It’s got that perfect balance of spicy, sour, salty, and umami, with a strong coconut kick that’s rich but not heavy. There are some mushrooms mixed in, which cut through the saltiness nicely. The prawns are frozen, though—their texture is a bit stiff, not as bouncy as fresh ones. Still, sipping this hot, flavorful soup is so comforting and appetizing—totally hits the spot. đŸ„Ł ✅ D5 Mango Sticky Rice 💰10 Authentic mango sticky rice that’s so good—it’s got my three faves: mango, sticky rice, and coconut milk. How could I not love it? The portion’s small, though—only four little pieces. I could easily polish off two servings without blinking! The mango is in season, so it’s sweet and juicy, and the rice is cooked just right—soft but not mushy. They must’ve used coconut water when cooking it, ’cause it smells like coconut even without the . The coconut milk drizzle is the perfect consistency, not too sweet—all the sweetness comes from the mango itself. Delicious! Only bummer: mango is seasonal, and imported ones are pricey. So they take this off the menu in winter to cut costs. Annoying, but I get it—still, I miss it! đŸ„­ #Canada #CanadaFood #VancouverIsland #Victoria #Foodie #LifeSnippets #FoodTour #MyDailyLife
