Are you a Thai food / Kanomwan fan?
A Telephone Rd institution!
Definitely a Thai fan, insanely addicted to tell the truth, but I never went to this place. Never even heard of it, darnit, & now it’s too late.
My folks favored all the more normal ones close to the family homestead in the West U/Rice Village area (Nit Noi, Morningside,Sawadi) plus Thai Seafood near NASA. Come to think of it, the owner there can be a bit of a smarta$$ sometimes, lol.
Maybe The Thai Nazi’s grandson will carry on the tradition? Sound like he was grooming him as a replacement. I think inside the heart of every restaurateur & chef lurks the heart of a fascist, anyway. ;-)
What I reeeeaaaallly miss is the dearly departed Mata Hari Indonesian resto on Westheimer at the Carillon center.(& briefly on Dairy Ashford, IIRC, before it bit the dust for good.)
I don’t know where to get a real honest to goodness rijstaffel in Texas anymore, do you? The only people who offer any Indonesian at all now seem to be Chinese, Korean or Vietnamese-owned noodle shops who do it as a sideline & they’re just not anywhere in the same league.
