Conversations About Food

Carlinha Carioca Posted: August 6, 2020

A crowded city and a need to indulge my foodie palate, led me to this hidden little Thai food gem, I am eager to spotlight in this article. Thai food has been a presence in my life since my college years. I believe Thai food was one of the first foods since I was a child, I allowed someone else to order for me, a practice I enjoy once in a while, which allows me to taste food from other people’s perspectives.

Thai Basil, located in Paradise Key in Destin has helped me indulge in my Thai food cravings. Thai Basil offers a variety of dishes that can accommodate vegetarians, noodle lovers, seafood lovers or meat lovers alike.  If you are looking for that fast, easy take out Thai Basil is great for those days you want to order out. Thai Basil also offers some of the most popular Thai dishes I love which are: Pineapple fried Rice, Chicken Satay and Shrimp Pad Thai.

What I love about Thai food is their often-perfect combination of sweet, salty, spicy, acid and sour taste in their food. Another awesome thing about Thai food is that some of their rice and noodle dishes can be order either plain or with your choice of chicken, pork, beef or shrimp. Whether you looking to venture out of your normal meal routine, or just looking to grab a quick fast meal Thai Bistro is a great choice to do so.

Stay safe & healthy.  Until next time…
