If you know Hampton at all, I'm sure you'd agree that it is in NO SENSE a cultural mecca; in fact, I'd say that we lack quite a bit of diversified culture in our area. So when it comes to cuisine, there aren't many choices. This is unfortunate because Scott and I have been looking to expand our palate and introduce new foods into our diet.
After our Thai Food adventure in Arlington, VA with my friend Krystal, we were on the look out for any hope of Thai food close to home... we found our answer at Gah Bau Kham- a modestly decorated gem of a restaurant tucked away in the Coliseum area of Hampton. We ventured there last night with our friends Dave, Kim, and Bryan in tow. I feel confident in reporting that all of us were quite pleased with our experience there. We tried two appetizers (fresh spring rolls and some fried wontons) and between the five of us tried Pad Thai, Curry, and Angel Hair Rice Noodles with Veggies (in varying degrees of hotness from two star hot to five star/thai hot). All of the food, and the service, was pleasant and refreshing!
Thai food is delicious and it's not much of a stretch (ingredients wise) from what most of us are used to eating anyways. We (Scott and I) will be returning to this restaurant and searching for more "rare cultural gems" here in our area to expand our mind and our tummies!
from jessie (tasted thai)... with love
disclaimer: Scott commented that (and I quote)- Thai food is as hot coming out as it is going in ((ewwww)) ... so be careful and prepared in your choice of "heat" when eating Thai!
