A Wonderful Thai Birthday Dinner, Sarasota

Last night, the family celebrated a birthday dinner at Bangkok Restaurant, a terrific Thai restaurant in Sarasota (http://www.bangkoksarasota.com/). Every meal we've had there has been delicious. While there are other nice Thai restaurants in town, none has the atmosphere of Bangkok.

The birthday girl and her mother both had Pad Thai, which they enjoyed very much.

My wife had Pad Khing with beef, a stir fry dish with ginger root, green and yellow onions, red & green bell peppers, carrots, and black mushrooms. She loved this dish and has ordered it at Bangkok before.

Our grandson, not a big eater, had chicken satay.

Our son had a curry dish, which was tasty.

Our daughter emjoyed Tofu Pad Thai.

I had:
- Tom Kha Soup with shrimp for $3.50. The soup had coconut broth with lime, straw mushrooms, yellow onions, sweet bell peppers, lemon grass, galanga root, scallions, and magrut leaves.
- Pad Woon Sen with beef for $10.49. The dish had thin bean thread noodles with egg, yellow onions and green onions, carrots, snow peas, broccoli, celery, bean sprouts, baby corn, and black mushrooms.

Both of my dishes were terrific.

The wine my wife and I shared was a South African Sauvignon Blanc called Sincerely by Neil Ellis for about $27. We had this wine at Bangkok the previous time we dined there. It goes very nicely with Thai food.

Reservations are recommended because this restaurant is very popular.

The restaurant is located at 4791 Swift Rd., Sarasota. Phone 941-922-0703.
