Today’s lunch was scrumptious

We headed to the mall today, and I recalled that they had a Ruby Thai Kitchen there. I like to get Panda on some of my days off, when I am not having a cheese sandwich and chips with fruit or vegetables, or tuna, or egg salad.

Today I was happy to have some pad Thai, and while I usually pair it with eggplant tofu, Ruby Thai had a spicy fried fish. It looked so good I had to try it. The guy at the counter asked me if I was sure I wanted it; he said it was hot. I said I wouldn’t eat the green hot peppers but would likely enjoy the entree.

I opted for a bottle of water, as the Thai iced tea was expensive, and I was not unrewarded. On getting to my seat, I said a prayer, and chopsticked some noodles into my mouth, had a few veggies, and then, the fish. The breading was peppered nicely, the fish juicy and delicious.

I normally don’t go in for fish, but this tasted like some prime cod or haddock, and it was amazing. The water washed the meal down nicely, and while the portions were admittedly a little large for my CKD, I ate most of the food, hoping it would nourish my body; it certainly pleased my taste buds.

Since I eat fairly simply at work during the week, when we went to the movies I got popcorn with extra butter (a small one) and an ice cream cookie sandwich. It was a splurge, and I rarely have food that rich and salty sweet.

If you’re looking for a fairly healthy meal for a reasonable price in a busy but pleasant atmosphere, Ruby Thai Kitchen, is a great destination.
