After a full day of shopping, I was famished. My relentless hunger pains begged me to inquire where I could find something exotic to eat. I was tired of Italian, and wanted my pallette to experience something new. After taking the suggestion of a relative, I headed to "Giant of Siam" in Nashua, located on 5 East Hollis St.

When I arrived, I was greeted by the pleasant aroma of sweet coconut and spices. I took in the ambiance of the quaint restaurant; beautiful floral arrangements and exuberant artwork from Thailand filled the room. As I took in the decor, a hostess by the name of Sarah, cheerfully handed me a menu, and filled my glass to the brim with ice cold water. Ah. . . How I felt like royalty! The menu was full of enchanting dishes such as: Chicken, Shrimp, or Tofu Pad Thai with rice stick noddles, sauteed with crushed peanuts, egg, dried shrimp, and thai spices. The menu was endless with variety, so much in fact that I called on Boondee Saeku, the manager, to suggest one of the chef’s specialties. Finally, after much deliberation, I decided to try "Mussaman Curry," with chicken, drenched in cocnut milk, onions, carrots, peanuts, potato, and pineapple. As soon as the dish was placed in front of me, I added the sticky rice, and dug right in. The sweet pineapple combined with the chicken, was absolute perfection. So tender, so delightful! The coconut milk mixed with the carrots, onions, and potatoes, added to the exquisite taste, as I found myself enamored with the tang of all the spices combined with the crushed peanuts! My pallette was satisfied after leaving "Giant of Siam," and I will definitely go back there to experience the delight of Thailand’s gourmet cooking, anytime.
