A new Thai place opened in Mississauga in Port Credit area called Hello Bangkok so gaveit a shot.
I asked to switch the the bell peppers (both red and green) as well as broccoli per usual and asked to make it “Thai spicy”. To my disappointment they didn’t have Thai eggplant so settled with replacing the three with bok choy. To my surprise, the curry itself was the second most authentic, if not on par with Khao San Road’s green curry! They offered chilli oil on the side but I declined as that would mess with the flavor (looking for a specific heat, not chilli oil). I’m assuming they offered it cause chilli oil is cheaper to make than adding more thai green peppers.
That’s two I’ve found now that pairs great with Pradikatswein Riesling from the Nahe that’s between 8 to 10% alcohol (a way to approximate amount of residual sugar needed for pairing against the heat). Typically Kabinett and Spatlese (Auslese might be overkill for most cases but there were barely that did well).
So far we now have:
-Khao San Road (Toronto)
-Hello Bangkok (Mississauga)
Loving it! Now if we could just have better Korean food (and find authentic Italian food outside Libretto - Neapolitan pizza; Casalinga - Tuscan) I’d be happy.
