Not ordering grilled Thai sausage was a misstep on my part, I may have to bring Thai sausage to the June BBQ to make up. Even without Thai sausage it was a terrific meal, Elephant Thai was hitting on all cylinders in particular papaya salad.

Enjoy,
Gary

edited to add corrections on descriptions for a couple pics.

Jim,

What dish did the chili oil come with? I have been here at least a dozen times, and I have never seen this.

Also, what was the last dessert?

the chili oil was something Gwiv asked for on the side. I didnt try any of the after dinner sweets so I am not sure what it was exactly.

"Unknown" shrimp dish is Shrimp Nam Prik Pao (shrimp in chili paste sauce w/grilled onions and bell peppers).

Not chili oil, no oil involved, one of the family of Nam Prik Ann of Elephant Thai serves when appropriate to customers she knows like heat and funk. In this case it was served alongside Thai style crab fried rice and was a mix of fish sauce, lime, chopped chili, garlic, red onion. Very tasty.

Dessert was flaky baked pastry filled with lightly sweetened red bean.

thanks for the clarification on those two Gary, the shrimp nam prik pao was great as was the fish sauce mix.

Just adding that the garlic pork is very good and not a very hot dish, though I suppose (?) you could get it hotter if you wanted. It went down great with a beer. We also like the wrapped shrimp appetizer. I recently ate dinner there in a party of six. We had three appetizers and six entrees. We each paid $15 including tax and a generous tip. A delicious bargain.

sorry Gary, would the correct word to ask for this sauce be 'Nam Prik" or is that the name of dish itself? that fish sauce looks phenomenal...
