September and bangkok? Well I can say that I went here in April and I would say that it was more like Christmas time in my tummy!

I came here with a friend on my first visit to New Haven and I found most of the experience to be quite pleasant. The restaurant is obviously quite popular so there was a bit of a wait and the Mater d did tease us getting a table once which was tantalizing to say the least during this month of Ramadan but when we were eventually seated I found the interior of the restaurant to be quiet sleek I'll do it with some odd pandemic related design choices such as hanging transparent barriers in between tables which my dining companion feared could pose a hazard if you were to walk into them. This did not bother me but I did find it to be quaint and a bit silly. They were fresh flowers around the restaurant which I found to be a nice touch. I didn't like the light bulbs and some of the light fixtures as they seemed very gauche. None of that really matters at all though.

The water was particularly good and had cucumber and lemon in it which added a nice subtle hint of flavor when I was eventually able to break my fast. The next drink I had was a iced tea which I found slightly too sweet but its composition was quite aesthetically pleasing and I found the addition of whipped cream on top to be a unique and welcome adornment which I have not seen other Thai restaurants do before.

I chose one of the specials, the pineapple fried rice with salmon, and it was absolutely delectable. Its presentation was exquisite and quite tropical, as it was served in a carved out pineapple with a small umbrella with the salmon perched on top of it. My counterpart got an eggplant curry of some kind and it came with blue rice which I thought was pretty cool to look at and reminded me of the blue milk featured in many of the Star wars films.

All together I found this to be a very enjoyable meal and I was quite happy that I chose to come here to break my fast and enjoy some nice company.
