Get on the Thai Boat

Some people are addicted to alcohol while others have an unshakable craving for nicotine. For me it is tom yum soup that has its hooks in me. A Thai restaurant could have the freshest handmade noodles on offer or laab made with meat from a chicken slaughtered to order yet I'd be seen ordering tom yum. Well, at least on my first visit. But it'd be a close call on subsequent ones.

I recently had my first dinner at Thai Boat Noodle in Sun Prairie and went with my go-to soup. Not being a fan of white cap 'shrooms, I asked that they be left out. Much to my surprise and delight, someone came out asking if I wanted other vegetables instead of the fungus. So I went with Chinese broccoli and snow peas.

It was very tasty. The broth had an earthy flavor to it that I've never encountered at other restaurants and enjoyed it very much. Next time I would go with bok choy, though. Also for next time, get the spicy tray or whatever they call it. There's no hot sauce nor chili in oil at tables and you have to ask for the spice. Also, dishes do not have a variable hotness scale. Oh well.

Oh! Almost forgot. The soup did not have noodles in it. 

Still, it was good and I'd order it again.
