Summer 2008 Day Twenty Six: Spice on the East Side

So after a pretty wretched day at work, followed by an afternoon of sheer napping wonderfulness, I headed down/across town to meet up with some friends. We made our way up to 73rd and 2nd, to this little restaurant called Spice Thai Hot & Cool. I'm not really one to go for Thai food, but I was among friends and, as usual, willing to try something as long as there was liquid encouragement.

Olivia and I ordered the Siamese Fried Rice (delicious, but whoa filling and WHOA portions), and Dylan ordered the pork chop which certainly seemed to be delicious from across the table. Again, portions! I left half of my rice (after claiming it for Spain and trees, declaring it an island with forks on the reef, and letting it set sail) and Olivia left with the other half of hers. Damn good, just a LOT. I have to agree with most of the reviews online: fantastic food, very slow service.

The drinks were, from what I could tell, quite nice, and you do get your bang for your buck. Dylan and I both had Pomegranate Sake Margaritas. You definitely have to like pomegranate to like it, but it was muy delicioso. And it's a nice little place...the help is VERY nice, it's just....slowish. Fortunately, it's also cheap. The three of us had very filling dinners AND a drink a piece, and it came to about $46. So....YAY!
