When we picked up the kids on Thursday they were on the edge of a hangry melt down. It was hot, school was out and they were on some psyco kid stuff! La Ericka was coming from Chandler and I was coming from South Tempe so Soda Bun Thai Food was in direct crossing point for us. When we entered we were greeted by a friendly woman. I always try speaking Thai when I go eat at Thai places in honor of my time in Thailand when i was known as Ryan of Phra Khanong. “Sawatdee khrap! 😀” I announced and she replied “kha!😁” As by routine I ordered Spicy Tom yum Goong (lemon grass and mushroom soup shrimp) and Som Tom Pbu (green papaya salad fermented crab). She learned me on my pronunciations. To my surprise, the had the fermented crab! No other restaurant I’ve asked for it in Az has had it! IMAGINE. MY. EXCITEMENT. I also tried some spring rolls, deep fried tofu in sweet sour sauce and got rice and noodles for the kids. This food was so legit and so delicious, we all sat around and ate while mumbling and groaning “yummmm ummmmm yessss oh yeah yummmm” We enjoyed the sweet sticky rice abs mango for desert. It was heavenly. I am so glad this spot is one major street away from my house. Khob Kuhn khrap!!!
