Last night after we got done with round 1 (of 4) with the priest and his silly marrage questions, Kristin and I went to the Thai Garden in Williamstown. She really likes it there. My previous experience with Thai food was less enthusiastic. Don't get me wrong, I liked the taste, but the portion size was a joke. But, this is a different resturant and I figured I'd give it a try.
I ordered some teriyaki beef that was said to come with carrots, cucumbers, zucchini and rice. Sounds filling. Price was about $15 or $16... a little steep, but worth it if it's good. Well what I got, while technically fitting the description, was a joke. It came with a pre-cut piece of steak that was elegantly spread out across the plate to give the impression of being large, when in fact, was probably 4 ounces or less. That's a good size for a hamburger that you're going to have 2 of, but not so good for a $16 steak. The "veggies" consisted of 2 half-dollar sized slizes of zucchini, 2 half-dollar sized slices of cucumber and two small pieces of carrot. The rice was the sticky shit that cafeterias serve. I upgraded to "jasmine" rice. I really have no idea what the difference was, but it tasted like unbuttered microwave popcorn.
I had a bowl of Crunch Berries when I got home from dinner.
Unfortunately, Kristin felt bad that I didn't enjoy my experience, but hey, what can you do? We still had a good time, and she got to have her bait platter that she really enjoyed. Overall, a good evening.
