SeaThai
Someone in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
seattle asked for Thai recommendations, and this is what I wrote:
*^*^*
I really like SeaThai, at 2313 N 45th in Wallingford.
Now, mind you, that's mostly because I fell in love with a particular dish I've only ever seen there:
"S9 Ho Mok Talay $14.99
Steamed curried sea food in a young coconut shell. Snapper, scallops, prawns, squid, and muscles, with basil, bamboo shoots, Bai Cha Plu leaves, in a coconut milk, egg, and red curry sauce. Steamed in a young coconut shell. Very Thai and very good."
Basically, they skin a coconut, make a lid in the top, pile in the stew to the interior, and then cook. The seafood and the coconut mix all together, and you get coconut-flavored seafood, and seafood-flavored coconut meat you can spoon from the insides.
Yum.
(And if anyone knows a different place that serves Ho Mok Talay I'd love to hear about it -- just to get a "second opinion," as it were.)
