What are two tired, hungry, and slightly lost girls suppose
to eat in a city that they are completely new to? Our motto when it comes to eating out is: When in Doubt EAT
THAI~!
Our first summer adventure took us to the streets of
downtown Walnut Creek California. The actual purpose of our trip was
for a friend’s graduation in Moraga,
but after the graduation the rest of the day was ours. And what do girls love
to do? Eat and shop, which is exactly what we did!
We might’ve gotten lost a few times, but thanks to GPS and
some good Thai food in our bellies our wallets were a little lighter and our wardrobes
a bit fuller J
Thai Bistro's Kacha is definitely a few degrees above a
college student’s budget, BUT because we ate their lunch specials the prices weren’t
too bad.
This place definitely ranks in our top five Thai restaurants.
And it all comes down to the eggplant. I don’t ever doubt Kris’s judgment of
well-cooked and well seasoned eggplant. Kris had Kacha’s Pad Graprao lunch
special which had chicken, shrimp, and loads of eggplant in a ginger chili
garlic sauce. I tried some and was definitely jealous that I didn’t order a
special as well :/.
However, my spring roll was equally delicious. Fresh, light,
and minty it came with an awesome sweet and sour peanut sauce that I had to ask
for more!
Thai food is always a safe bet in the gluten free world.
Generally their dishes are not made with too much soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, or
hidden thickeners. It's fresh, has lots of veggies, and is mighty tasty.
If you are on a tight budget I definitely recommend Kacha’s
lunch specials.
