As I write this I’m on a couch, sitting in the lanai outside our cottage at Mama’s Fish House, the waves are crashing and we are deciding where our dinner is going to come from. Those in relationships know this conversation very well, but ours is a little different and in this case with a unique twist that neither of us are used to, almost all the restaurants here close at 9:00 PM (1 hour 30 minutes remaining). So we have to leave here, get there, order…gladly we share a palate for most things food.
We decided on Thai, with 57 minutes on the clock. It was a short drive, and my Yelp connisour frevrently informed me of its 4 and a half star rating.
As an aside, I’m going to caution you against record selection based solely on the reviews of others, and we will revisit that topic in another post.
So…when we pulled into the tiny parking lot, there was one open space. It seemed ordained that we would be eating at Thai Palace tonight (43 minutes until closing). Once we parked, I noticed a purveyor of libations. We weren’t going to miss out tonight.
The night we arrived, we were quickly aware that alcohol sales on the island promptly ended at 11PM.
I love Thai food, so I didn’t really look at the menu. I chose from my list of favorite entrees (38 minutes), once seated we were no longer concerned by the time. My lady ordered the basil stir-fry with rice and I had Thai iced tea with coconut milk, spring rolls, and Phad see ew with chicken. All of the food was delicious. The rub however…there was no meat in the Spring rolls. This fact bothered Rosetta, but I was hungry and as I said they were good.
I bet you’re wondering how is he going to tie this in to record collection? I’m not. I will however say that if you’re interested in Thai food on the north shore of Maui, and don’t mind meatless spring rolls; visit Thai Palace. Just make sure you get there before 8:30PM.
