I had what was so far the tastiest Thai food this past Labor Day weekend. I was out at Jekyll Island, GA having a nice weekend, and the boyfriend and I decided we wanted to set out mouths on fire with some spicy Thai food at Tuptim Thai in Brunswick, GA.
We got this Thai salad as an appetizer. It was savory, salty, sweet–all flavors packed into one salad.
And of course we got some spring rolls. Maybe not the healthiest… I always love the dipping sauce–tangy and sweet. One spring roll is about 6o to 80 calories. For my entree, I got a vegetable dish with a spicy brown sauce. It had so many flavors (including basil–yum!), and a wide variety of veggies, and a few tofu pieces. I really don’t know where all the flavors come from. It is a mystery to me.
I think this was called pad prik, and the nutrition facts are pretty healthy for this dish compared to others. I am not sure exactly how many calories it is, but I believe it is very reasonable for a dinner meal.
And my boyfriend got a green curry which the server recommended. I am not usually a huge fan of curry because I don’t like a lot of coconut milk flavor, but this one was this best I have had–I actually liked it. Again, I have no idea what makes it so good! We both even ordered a glass of wine because it was only $3.50! Anyway, we really enjoyed the dinner, and my mouth was on fire when I left like I had expected. But, the visit makes me want to learn more about Thai cooking, and try to re-create some dishes.
