I went to Thai Pasta on a rainy spring day…I seem to be
on a Thai roll, with several Asian carts grouped together. (The last few food cart adventures have been Phat Kart, Krua Bangkok, and Rice and Noodle.) We love our Asian
food in Portland! When I returned to Oregon after three years in Asia, Portland
had very few Asian restaurants outside of Chinese…only one Indian, a few
Japanese, and a handful of Thai. Now we have a preponderance, and the food carts are no different.
I had the mango red curry with chicken at Thai Pasta, which is one of
the longest-standing carts in the pod. (I’ve always found that to be a strange
name–I think of pasta as an Italian thing). I asked for medium spiciness, which was a bit of a risk having never
eaten there before. I was happy with my dish, which had nice big chunks of
mango in it. I paid a dollar extra for brown rice (I love that I never have to
pay extra at Dosirak!). Fortunately,
between the spiciness (which made me eat slower) and the size, I had
enough left over for the next day…not bad for $8.

I do love Thai food, but I’m ready to change things up! Looks like Indian is next in the pod.

My verdict: I will return. After a break from Thai food for awhile! I love it, but am ready for a change.
