Rice & Noodles
We tried a new-to-us restaurant last night. Donna, our next door neighbor, took us to a Thai Restaurant just outside of Belfast. Another neighbor, Pat, also joined us. It was a nice pre-holiday gathering.
The restaurant isn’t fancy, and is located in a fairly old wooden building. It is called “Rice & Noodles,” which does not adequately describe the authentic Thai cuisine. The menu is one of the most extensive I’ve seen. We each ordered an appetizer and a main course. The food was quite good, and we will return. Although we might stick to take-out in the winter time. It was 10 degrees outside last night. And not much warmer inside. The first clue is when your waitress greets you wearing a parka … inside the restaurant 😉
They have a selection of beer, wine, and soft drinks:
For starters, we tried the Stuffed Thai Chicken Wing … this was really interesting and was almost like a little cordon bleu type chicken:
The Tempura Squid – a nicely breaded calamari:
Egg Rolls:
And tasty Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings
Lou chose the Tamarind Duck as his main. It came with slices of roasted duck – not shown in the photo, because it was hiding in the bottom of the plate. He said it was tasty, but he needed a little more than 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ of heat 😳😱
Donna picked the Orange Chicken, which she liked.
Pat had the Stir Fry with Hot Basil and Pork. She picked 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And said she would go 5 next time:
I picked the Crispy Chicken Stir Fry with Hot Basil with a 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ spice level which was just right.
It was a successful evening, and we are very happy to find a good Thai restaurant!
