We recently discovered Thai food, too, and will have to try Thai Orchid. Our favorite is Sweet Siam in Westport (it was in Lenexa when we discovered it.) Their coconut soup is out of this world as is their coconut cake. We’ve tried several main dishes including the pad thai and curry and have thought each one was really good. The coconut soup is spicy, but they might be able to tone it down.

i was introduced to Thai cuisine by a friend in the early 1970s. It was on Broadway in KCMO around the 3500 or 3600 block, as I recall. It was described by the friend as being similar to Chinese which I already loved. I ate at the House of Toy about once a week during that time and had been introduced to Chinese by my father at King Joy Lo over twenty years before that. That Thai restaurant began my foray into various cuisine which continues to this day.

For the past eleven years, I have led the International Dining group at my church to a different international restaurant each month. We have sampled Afghan, Nepalese, Ugandan, Persian, Yemeni, Portuguese, and other more familiar cuisines – all because of that wonderful Thai experience over forty years ago.
