Help me find a thai dish from a restaurant now closed

The restaurant was Siam Sqaure in Evanston. The dish was a sweet meat dish with onions and peppers. It was very simple, with a brown sauce. I loved it because it was very sweet tasting. Can anyone help me? If someone even happens to have an old carry out menu (you never know), then I could probably identify the name and work from that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Diane

Diane,
Welcome to LTHForum!

Could the dish you mention have been kaeng hangleh (Burmese-style curry with pork, pickled garlic, and ginger [no coconut milk]*? (no onions though). I enjoyed this at Sticky Rice, though it is probably available in others as well.

Erik M. had a neat thread on this – including pics

Thanks for the suggestion but I am sure it is not. There was no curry in it, since I am not a fan of curry and recognize the taste. I may try going to that restaurant and asking though.
Thanks.

You're not confusing apprehension of Indian "curry" with that of Thai curries, are you?

I suspect that the O.P. had a simple (Chinese-influenced) Thai stir-fry along the lines of néua phàt baí hõhráphaa (beef with sweet basil leaves), or phàt néua náam man hãwy (beef with oyster sauce). When prepared in the traditional manner neither one is particularly sweet-tasting, but the tendency in the ThaiAm restaurant kitchen is to amp up the sugar as a concession to American tastes.
