👨‍🍳 Foodie Thursday

If you know me, you know that I love my Thai cuisine. From spicy curries to sweet-and-sour stir-fries, the Thai food scene around here is my jam

🍜If you’re craving a balance of sweet and spicy, these are my top picks for a Thai feast:

Pho Mango | 1550 Huron Church Rd | While famous for its pho, Pho Mango’s Thai options stand out too. They have the best mango salad.

Basil Court | 327 Ouellette Ave | A local favourite for classic Thai dishes with all the flavour you can handle. Their paid Thai is a must-try. Tip: spice it up if you’re feeling brave!

Simply Thai | 13300 Tecumseh Rd E | Cozy vibes and seriously delicious Thai. From their fresh spring rolls to delicious create your own stir fries, this place delivers.

Thai Palace | 1140 Lauzon Rd | This spot takes Thai food to the next level with their rich, aromatic soups and savoury curries. If you’re in the mood for something more traditional, their mango sticky rice will hit the spot every time.
