There are some incredibly good Thair restaurants in LA, especially (and not surprisingly) around "Thai Town" in "East Hollywood" (in quotes because it's more a real estate agent's term than an actual neighborhood). So, what's your favorite Thai place?
You absolutely must get to The Palms aka Thai Palm (on Hollywood Blvd) if for no other reason than to see "Kevin, the Thai Elvis" do his act. And Siam Sunset (Sunset Blvd) for yentafo. Amazing yentafo. Oh, and Sunshine (Western Blvd) for it's incredibly international clientele -- Thai, African, Mexican, you name it. All of these are "joints" more than "restaurants." Great food, rock-bottom prices, no ambience.
Sometimes I get too enthusiastic... What's your favorite? Or at least where do the "Tiger sauce," you're raving about?
Yes. About like A-1, HP, Pickapeppa, etc.
Also, there's nothing Thai in any way about the bottled product. It's pretty much Worcestershire, made sweet, sour and hot with vinegar, sugar, and red peppers; the whole thing held together with guar gum or something like that. It has no history or ethnic connotations that I know of, and FWIW, I think the geographical origin was Lousisiana.
