jack speak thai real good.

Slow day in the news, so I figured I would give you something to read.

Last night, Ben and I went to Thai X-ing for dinner. This place has been on the list to get to for at least a year. It was fantastic! Seriously. Hands down the best thai food we have had in DC. No question. We both commented that it actually almost felt like you were in Thailand. The smells and taste and vibe in there are just awesome.

It is in this small row house over in the Shaw/Howard neighborhood. You have to call beforehand and leave a message to see if they can fit you in. It is small inside. It is also BYOB. There are a couple tables tucked inside on the ground floor and more tables up the stairs on the second floor. It is a set menu for $30 a piece.

We sat down and the food started arriving within minutes. First, this cucumber soup. It was so good. We practically licked our bowls clean.

 

Three additional appetizers came shortly after. I will say, the appetizer round cleaned my pores out. My mouth was on fire. Thank god Ben grabbed a bottle of white wine on his way over to cut through!

The entrees included a beef panang, a fantastic yellow curry dish, and a vegetable/chicken stir-fry. There were also a couple noodle dishes.

And finally to top off what was already a fantastic meal, the dessert came. There are no words to describe what was going on. This mango, sticky rice plate was unbelievable. Perfectly sweet, moist, fruity, and more. It was just amazing.

 That's all. Just a great meal. We loved it and recommend to all!
