VTK is OK

Quick word on last night's outing to Vong's Thai Kitchen (VTK) http://www.vongsthaikitchen.com/. It was a random choice late at night and it turned out to be quite pleasant. The atmosphere is sexy: low lighting, soft playing non-elevator music, tables comfortably far apart, private booths; a warm modern decor. This place would certainly be good for a date. Since it was late, we ordered light - Chicken Coconut-Milk Soup (their signature dish apparently), Grilled Beef Tenderloin Satays with tamarind soy sauce and Red Curry Chicken. I also got a Pomo Cosmo (a pomegranate flavored cosmo) which was yummy.

The verdict on the food is as follows: thumbs sideways on the soup, thumbs up for the beef satays - beautifully presented, tender, juicy with a very delicious tamarind sauce (a definite must if you decide to check this place out) and thumbs down on the curry. The curry was the thinnest, wateriest curry I've ever had. It looked more like a soup then a curry and was oily with almost uncooked snow peas, too lemony for my taste and the chicken looked like it was boiled and dumped in as an afterthought.

Overall, the place is quite pleasant. I'd like to go back and try their other dishes (not the curries) to see if they equal the yumminess of the beef satays. Also, their dessert menu looks inviting.
