I love having a choice of fresh hot tea somewhere besides a coffee shop. I like hot tea when I eat Asian, and that definitely gives Chow Yum Phat extra consideration at lunch time when I’m in that mood. Today I had the Crispy Fish w/ Coconut Curry Noodles. The fish batter was crunchy, laced with peanuts and enough spice heat to really pop. The smoothness of the coconut curry almost balanced that pop, but not quite. I kept thinking it needed something crisp and cool and green to further offset the heat, but I still can’t think of what that might be. Celery, green onions, and cucumber pop right up, but really don’t fit. Not saying it’s not a good dish, I enjoyed it very much, but my mind started wandering to my alternate plan of trying their wings, maybe paired with the Phat Cow Bao. That’s the plan next time for sure.
