Lannathai with the family...

My family and I usually go out to eat once a week. Most of us are indecisive and resort to a default Chinese restaurant or settle for a bowl of pho at Tau Bay. This week I suggested that we should go for Thai food. It has been a while since our last Thai restaurant. We have been to Syphay house, which is along 104 st next to the Malaysian restaurant Tropika. Syphay house was a delightful experience for us, the portions were not large but very filling. The tom yum goong soup at Syphay is the best I have had in Edmonton. The flavors were dense with spices and filled with ingredients. I remember when I visited Thailand, I was obsessed with tom yum soup. Every meal started off with it and by the end of our trip, I was still helping myself to seconds.

Lannathai offered a wide selection of dishes ranging from soup to noodles to meat and seafood dishes. We wanted to try some northern specific Thai food so we asked the server to recommend us some dishes. She recommended the Chiang Mai Curry with chicken and the Siam ocean seafood dish. In addition, we ordered tom yum goong soup (of course haha) and the usual pad thai with beef.
