Becoming a favorite
Perfect day for Tom Kha Coconut Soup.
We love this Ground Pork Basil Garlic Gra Prow
It was early so we brought home Grilled Pork Skewers (Moo Ping) Thai-Style หมูปิ้ง, Larb - Larb Moo (Pork Lettuce Wraps), more Ground Pork Basil Garlic Gra Prow, and Thai basil fried rice for second supper.
Thanks. How’s the sweetness level of their dishes?
We love the Pork Gra Prow, which means it’s sweet! I don’t think the rest of what we tried would be considered sweet.
ETA okay, the larb is sweet too. And in retrospect, maybe the Tom Kha. 
We went back! In the area again.
Same thing mostly
This time I got spicy chicken wings…
Not spicy
…and massaman peanut curry
Good, although I have no prior experience to compare to. And yes, it might be considered sweet.
You mention sweet quite a lot for the dishes - do these dishes also have all some significant spicy, salty and sour components ? Most of these dishes shouldn’t be sweet
I think Pork Gra Prow, with the basil, can have a slightly sweet aroma, balanced with spicy and savory. With that said, Thai restaurants here probably make it actually sweet.
The massaman peanut curry was made with coconut milk, as was the the Tom kha soup last week. I often find dishes with coconut milk to have an element of sweetness. The recipes I’ve used to make Pad Kra Pao seem to include sugar, and I thought the pork in larb was caramelized with a bit of it. Maybe that’s a Vietnamese dish I’m thinking of, but I have seen larb recipes with sugar.
I mentioned sweet because @sck asked in a previous post, and because I have noticed some on HO describe the Thai food served in the US as being made sweeter. It is not something I would have otherwise noticed or commented on, but I now wonder if that’s part of what we enjoy about it. We love spicy and salty too.
There were a variety of other flavors there, but I am not good at describing them. None of the dishes were noticably spicy, although the pork kra pow was described as “medium”. Husband got dumplings, and noticed the accompanying sauce was not the usual fish, chili and soy sauce (prik nam pla?) combination, but more like what some call “duck sauce”. And as I noted, the spicy wings were not spicy.
I see some of my favorite Thai dishes — laab, moo ping, tom ka gai.
Made my own pad kra pao moo last night (I cut down on the sugar 
).
@honkman , my post was supposed to be a response to your question about flavors.
Your post influenced me, I picked up Thai take-out in Toronto tonight.
Back at Thai Table! (Shopping for a car! Done 
)
This time “Drunken Noodles” w/pork. I don’t usually order noodle dishes, but I think this was a good version. Good spice level, but would have been with more.
With special shout out to this sauce served with husband’s Pork Gra Prow (yes, again!).
What did you get?
Thinking of a good answer
