Thai Palace

It is remarkable how absolutely uninspired (yet perfectly consumable) my meals at the Thai Palace have been. I’ve ordered noodles, curries, stir fries, and salad rolls, searching for something to grab on to, waiting to feel something about the food.

I think it must be a great trick of theirs, to produce all of these dishes in such a way that their texture, flavor, and presentation all land squarely at the midpoint between good and bad. The food is perfectly edible, though you may hardly notice that you are eating, aside from perhaps a stated feeling in your stomach by the time the plate is empty.

I can’t say that I’ve enjoyed my meals at the Thai Palace, though the service is always very friendly and their prices – especially for lunch – are low enough that I don’t particularly mind going in, so long as I am already in the neighborhood.
