*fireworks*
Now I said Yen Ta Fo was a favorite of mine and I was not joking. Despite the many, many options available to me and the fact I was on the YTF two days previously, here I was again.
To be fair it didn't start out this way; Muay Thai has a very impressive Issan menu and I tried to get something here but in classic Issan style EVERYTHING had pork mashed into it somehow. When in doubt go back to an old favorite.
Luckily, it was the best Yen Ta Fo I've ever had.
Soup wasn't overly pink colored, stock was spicy (it's so rarely spicy off the bat) and had depth to it, excellent collection of seafood, kale was delicious, plenty of noodles (so often they skimp on the noodles) and the serving size was spot on.
Only concern was the price here, I'm always on or around the ten buck mark so it was a little disappointing to see my cheque come in at $12.90. There is a relevant story here but need to hold back on that one for now.
Feel bad for my YTF two days previously as I've written them both up this weekend and it may have been judged harshly. However this is the whole point of this exercise, a benchmark has been established and I look forward to anyone else stepping up to the plate. Also looking forward to heading back to Muay Thai for another bowl.
Four outta four here.
