Thai food and dancing in the rain!

You know the song…singing in the rain, well this is the same but different. We have been having lots of storms and nice showers, some heavy some light. The rain has not been constant, but lovely for the gardens anyway. I was watching a young visitor to one of the neighbours and talked to her and took these pics. I was thrilled to see a child outside running round getting wet in the rain, and she was dancing as if there was not a care in the world. I thought it was just lovely.

 

  

 

We have also had some interesting cloud formations rolling across, and with this house sit having a fabulous second level deck, we can get a good view for quite a long way. This was taken at sunset, and in the bottom pic the cloud is reflected in the glass table.

Last night we decided to have dinner out, so went to Mon'sThai shop in Tingalpa. They have just changed management and been taken over by the May's Thai chain. The restaurant is only small, but had a few tables inside and out. Prices were about $20 per mains, not cheap but not over the top.

They were doing a roaring trade with take away food, and the chef was working away furiously in the kitchen. One thing, being a small shop we could see right into the kitchen and it looked very clean. That’s always a good sign.

Well we waited for quite a while to have our order taken. They were so busy with takeaways. Then they brought out Peter’s calamari rings, okay but not wonderful, too chewy for me, but then I have trouble chewing hard things anyway.

 

We waited again for quite a long time, maybe half an hour before the mains came out, and Peters came out first, and by the time I got my mains Peter had almost finished his, they didn’t come out together.

Peters dish was okay in size but not very big, and had lots of potato in it, probably part of the recipe, a yellow curry, but still not heaps of meat in it. My satay dish was a better size and certainly very tasty, with quite a variety of vegetables too. We had also ordered coconut rice, which I just love!!!

So the food was quite nice, but I wasn’t impressed with the rather long wait. Maybe next time we will order takeaways and bring it home, even then we noticed the people waiting for takeaways had to wait about 30 minutes or so, or maybe we will try somewhere else.
