Nestled near the light rail tracks on Central Avenue, The Wild Thaiger has weathered the construction and survived by serving up some of the best Thai cuisine in town and become a much loved staple for lovers of the exotic cuisine of the mystic Orient for five years now. The restaurant is tastefully appointed and has a wonderful patio right on Central. Don’t miss out on their appetizers. With ten exciting starters to choose from, we settled on the toothsome Corn Fritters. You’ll get a plate with clusters of crunchy, battered corn niblets that have been kissed with a sweet glaze and mounted on top of a delightful bed of a marinade of diced cucumber, minced jalapenos

and red onion. Or try Thai treats like the Satay Sampler, Tofu Towers and Chicken Lettuce Wraps, to name a few. Prices range $5.95 to $9.95. Don’t miss the quartet of salads they offer or the flaming Hot Pots with fabulous names like Tom Yum Goong or Tom Ka Gai. I’m not even going to stoop so low to make that vulgar joke everybody makes twisting around phony words so it ends up sounding dirty. Shame on you! Don’t be rude! It’s food! The Wild Thaiger also has four lip smacking curry dishes. Carnivores will go for the Beef Panang with tender cutlets in a red curry with zesty kaffir lime. All are served with aromatic jasmine rice. Most curry dishes are $8.95-$9.95. These are available vegetarian style, too. Don’t forget the Thai classic Pad Thai. The Wild Thaiger serves up a generous bowl of rice noodles tossed with chicken, shrimp, fried tofu, bean sprouts and peanuts. Five more dishes round out the Rice and Noodle category including Phuket Fantasea with shrimp, scallops and Asian veggies in a savory broth with September 2008 2008 WWW.IONAZ.COM September WWW.IONAZ.COM 49
