Ashika:
Today I went to one of my favorite Thai restaurants. It's
located on the corner of 65th and Roosevelt in Seattle (for those
out-of-towners).
The Royal Palm Restaurant is located at the top of a two story
shopping plaza. The ambiance is very relaxing and entertaining. If you grab a
window seat you can watch all the local granolas wander about.
I would consider myself a regular but I only come in maybe once
or twice a month. Despite that, the hostess always greets me with the biggest,
warmest smile and asks where I've been. She also always remembers what I like
to eat! Crazy!
Normally it's a toss up between their Garlic Chicken or their
Pad See Ew. Since I've discovered I'm fat and I need to lose literally a
million pounds I've changed my eating style to paleo (meat, veggie, fruits and
eggs). So, today I went with their Royal Palm Salad. Their food has been
consistently good and this salad did not induce an ounce of bitching from me.
It's a beautiful layer of romaine with sautéed chicken,
pistachios, rice noodles, shredded carrots, slices of cucumber and wedges of
pineapple with a side of oriental pineapple ginger dressing (pictured below).
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. If all salads tasted this amazing I wouldn't be nearly as
robust as I am now.
My lunch date, also trying to maintain her girlish figure, had
the Yum Nua (rare beef salad), grilled beef mixed with fresh greens, onions,
cucumber, and tomatoes, tossed with a lime and chili dressing (not pictured).
She dropped two pant sizes from this salad. Seriously.
If you are in the area or know the area, you need to make this
place a regular. It easily starts to feel like home. I really can't say enough
good stuff about this place. TRY IT.
