Who says you have to trek all the way out to Woodside for excellent Thai food? While we love their soups, stick to one of the salads in the warmer months; the Yum Mua Mang or the Som Tum are complex, crispy, and refreshing. You can’t go wrong with their curry dishes either. If the weather is cooperative, asked to be seated in the garden.
