Quick Bite: Bangkok Cafe

Bangkok Cafe
17 N Vail Ave
Arlington Heights, IL 60005
Downtown Arlington Heights is a surprisingly nice little place, with a range of restaurants ranging from bars to Spanish Tapas. And for the burbs, it has a surprising number of Thai places, too. However, Bangkok Cafe is a notch above the typical strip-mall Thai offering endemic to the [...]

Thailand: Sala Thai

Sala Thai
36 S Fair Oaks Ave
Madison, WI 53714
L and I had long meant to head to Madison’s east side and sample some of the famous curries at The Corner Store on Willy Street, but never had the opportunity. But when I found out that the shop’s owners had opened a full-service Thai restaurant, we had [...]
