Osha thai in July

Well, we've already failed. We forgot to take a photo of our first documented pad thai research excursion. Sigh. The day was hot, though, and one of our two intrepid pad thai tasters was already drunk before we even selected a table. So it was to be expected. Yes, it was hot outside, but the atmosphere of Osha thai was cool, cool, cool. it started with a subtle techno beat when we walked in, and was complemented by the sleek modern decor. Chairs ripped from the future were one choice, and each table featured a rose so lush it could only have been grown with the most space-aged of technologies. The waiters also wore the latest in fab fashions, which also matched Gyllian's blouse. We got right to the point and ordered two veggie pad thais -- one eggless. They arrived festooned with fuscia blooms that may have been edible, but we didn't try them because we were too busy digging in to the pad thai.

Pad thai: Gyllian thought the noodles were rich & satisfying, though there could have been a better variety of veggies. Both gbc and LED thought there was a nice noodle to tofu ratio, though LED did mention a desire for more peanuts. Actually, when pressed, LED started whining about how much "stockage" there was on the broccoli. whatever that means. No, no. She's right. A nice short stock is the ideal for broccoli hoping to make an appearance in a pad thai dish. Has anyone else heard of something called Brocolini? anyway, if it exists, thats what we think was ruining the pad thai flow. This was very minor though, and so, out of a possible Five Tofu Chunks, we give Osha Thai FOUR!
