Fat Kid Adventure #116: Thai Pepper (Campbell)

We went out for lunch to celebrate Phong's birthday at this Thai joint in Campbell near the Pruneyard recommended by Neha. Modestly decorated with a nice waiting area proudly displaying a reclining Buddha, Thai Pepper welcomed us to a full lunch crowd - ahhh yes good sign, good sign. After asking the waitress to fridge the cake we got for Phong, we sat down to chitchat and order. They have wide selections on the menu and pretty nice selection on the lunch specials!

Ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken and shared with Michel's See Aw Noodle with Prawns. Some sour curry-ish soup on the house to whet the appetite, and the entrees came about 15-20 later. Service is good - the Thai waitresses are very polite and nice.

The salad that came with the meal did not have dressing, but apparently the Tabasco-looking bottles on the table contained the sweet and sour dressing for the salad. The Pineapple Fried Rice was great - nice moisture on the rice contributed by the sauteed pineapple cubes, and their tangy goodness is always a plus. Rice is that nice fluffy and loose. The prawn noodles were pretty good - noodles (pad thai) not too dry and grease not too strong. Number of prawns wasn't impressive, but flavor taken.

Overall good quantity and decent quantity. Good for lunch!

Happy Birthday, Phong!
