Bua Thai, Durham, North Carolina
Recently we've learned of this place called Bua Thai and heard that their food was very good, especially the tofu. So we decided to visit and try their best vegan dishes. They have indoor and outdoor seating which was very nice for us because we enjoy the fresh air of the Earth. We ordered a Pad See Ew and a Red Curry dish.
Now, the Red Curry that we ate had a lot of tofu in the dish, although we would've liked a little bit more veggies also. The curry was fantastic. One of the people in our party is very picky when it comes to a lot of vegetables in this dish because this restaurant didn't add that many. The tofu complemented the slightly sweet broth very well. The tofu here was very soft on the inside and it wasn't cooked too much, which is what you're supposed to do for curries. Overall, I enjoyed the dish and the mix of spices, although some people might not enjoy it we do. I give it one of the highest stars I have so far in this blog.
The Pad See Ew tofu was fried and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The tofu was cut in big chunks although they packed a lot of flavor, which doesn't happen a lot when you make tofu chunks so large. The tofu was impressive, being both very chewy and crunchy--we enjoyed that combo. The flavor of the whole dish was very good and simple. Overall, we would definitely order it again, and give this high stars as well.
