Silver Spoon Thai Kitchen

Yesterday my friend David and I enjoyed lunch at Silver Spoon Thai Kitchen, located in the West Portal neighborhood of San Francisco. The mid-sized space features sponge-painted walls in an appealing mango/gold color; sturdy, handsome wood chairs; white tablecloths; modern, fun hanging lights; and a fresh iris bloom in a vase on each table. The service was a bit slow, but the food was worth the wait! We started with a delicate, delicious soup made with coconut milk, cabbage, carrots and lemon juice. My main plate featured moderately spicy Thai chicken with basil, served with white rice in the shape of a star. David enjoyed a pumpkin curry dish along with chicken satay. The plates were carefully arranged and very elegant. It appeared that most of the restaurant's lunchtime business is take-out, and those waiting for their orders relaxed on comfy, brightly colored armchairs near the front of the restaurant. The prices were very reasonable ($6.95 for soup, entree and white rice). I highly recommend Silver Spoon for your next Thai meal, but please note that while they are open seven days a week at dinnertime, they only serve lunch on weekdays.

The Friendster blog service was tons of fun, but I'm all about trying new things, so I'm movin' on up to Blogspot/Blogger/whatever this is. Posts about restaurants (mainly places here in San Francisco) are here, and posts about movies are now at Jeff's Movie Blog.
