Bon eats at Baan Thai

Baan Thai: one of the first restaurants I dined at in Victoria three years ago and still amongst my favourites. It’s always able to satisfy my Asian flavoured cravings.
The Gra Tong Taung (golden cups) appetizer – crispy batter cups with a ground chicken and caramelized onion filling, topped with cilantro – is a perennial favourite to share. Try them with only the slightest drop of the house plum sauce.
The Guay Teow Kee Mao Gai (flash fried rice noodles with chicken, egg, onions, red and green peppers, chilis, and sweet basil leaves) is the main I recommend most of my dining companions to start with if they have trouble making up their minds. But I’m a sucker for anything Thai Basil.
Baan Thai also has dedicated vegetarian menu items.
It does get busy during dinner but they are usually able to seat a party of four in under 20 minutes.
Also beware of sitting up at the bar; the high chairs are so gargantuan and heavy that they will either make you feel like a king on a throne or will give you a whopping insecurity complex as you strain to adjust your seat.
Personally, I love sitting at the bar.
