Looking back
The SD Foodie take
Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.
The curry arrives on a square white plate beside a neat dome of rice: beef, bamboo shoots, carrots and green beans in a pale green coconut sauce. Roger tagged it both spicy and extra spicy, so this was ordered to bite.
It is one of four posts from the same afternoon: a Thai salad with peanut sauce came first, then this curry, then Thai fried rice with shrimp, beef and bean sprouts — the post that names Sala Thai — and fro-yo at Yogurtland to finish. Together they read like a proper sit-down meal in the SDSU neighborhood rather than a quick takeout curry.

An early, no-nonsense college-area Thai lunch — ordered hot and photographed course by course.
