TAC Tips?

Post #1 - August 21st, 2008, 3:46 pmREB and I are on a mission to work our way through the GNRs, and have a friend in town who has requested Thai. So, we decided on TAC Quick tonight.
I've done some searching through old threads, and see that the crispy on choy, pork neck, and issan sausage have been big hits.
Any other recommendations? Anyone want to share their favorites? What's this about a "Thai menu?"
TIA,

Rich,
Erik M's TAC Thai menu translation may be found here.
Menu wise you are off to a good start, I'd add
- kai thawt - Thai fried chicken (One of my favorite dishes)
- yam kra piaw plaa: fish maw salad
- ka-phrao krawp kai jiaw ma: s/f minced chicken/holy basil over preserved egg
- phat phet muu paa - wild boar curry fry (If available)
- nãem sii-khrong mũu : fried 'nãem'-style pork ribs (If available)
Whatever on the specials board appeals.
TAC Thai Fried Chicken
Enjoy,
Gary

Post #3 - August 21st, 2008, 5:16 pmI've only been a few times now (since being introduced at the LTH dinner there a few weeks ago), but I'd add the shrimp paste rice as something that I thought was fantastic, like nothing I had ever had before, and something that's ideal to share with a small group (I really liked it, but wouldn't want it as my only entree).
Described on Erik M's translated menu as "khâo khlûk kà-pì nãa “RAM” : shrimp paste-seasoned rice, served with sweet pork, green mango, omelette, dried shrimp, and red onion"
You may see me up there grabbing carryout later tonight...

Post #4 - August 21st, 2008, 7:27 pmThanks for the tips. Unfortunately, we had a change in plans and did not make it to TAC tonight. (Enjoyed Urban Belly instead.)
My lovely wife noticed that I posted in the Events forum, when this thread clearly belongs elsewhere. Mods, please feel free to fix and slap me on the wrist. D'oh.I don't know what you think about dinner, but there must be a relation between the breakfast and the happiness. --Cemal Süreyya

Post #6 - August 22nd, 2008, 7:16 amFor others who might be considering, let me add the duck curry (usually on the specialty board), as well as the basil duck or chicken."The fork with two prongs is in use in northern Europe. In England, they’re armed with a steel trident, a fork with three prongs. In France we have a fork with four prongs; it’s the height of civilization." Eugene Briffault (1846)

Post #7 - August 22nd, 2008, 9:23 amI second the recommendation of the duck curry from the specials board, the fish maw salad, the thai fried chicken, the minced chicken with crispy basil and preserved egg and the boar pad ped. All are wonderful dishes.
I was once a huge fan of the crispy en choy. But, now that it seems to be prefried and served room temp, I'm not the fan of it that I was when it was crispy and hot at service. Lotys of folks seem to still like it though.
