In the dark days BPE — that’s Before Pearl Era — many of San Antonio’s most rewarding restaurants were Thai.
And yet I have been guilty for a few years now of abandoning the subtle yet scintillating cuisine for the likes of artisan pizza and South Indian stews. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago, when somebody asked me what my favorite Thai restaurant was, that it hit me: I didn’t have one. Not only that, I couldn’t remember the last time I had ordered Panang curry or green papaya salad.
There must be something in the wind, since not long after an acquaintance mentioned a Thai place on Broadway that had escaped my attention for more than two years. I don’t know if Thai Curry will become my new favorite, but it’s a start at redemption.
Mine, not theirs.
In my defense, the restaurant is easy to miss. Once inside, the neutral-colored décor is forgettable. And the appetizer list offers little beyond other similar restaurants around town. There’s also a cheese roll with “curry flavored” cream cheese, but I draw the line at cream cheese — even if I am attempting atonement.
