tam's thailand and lao food

i'd been meaning to get over to tam's thai food on adams in normal heights ever since the new owner's daughter wrote in to say there had been an ownership change and it was no longer b fried rice, which i was pretty tough on a while back. after a long day at the beach sunday we were too lazy to go out of our way for food, so we dropped in and were welcomed warmly by the new owner. it's a tiny space, meant mostly for takeout, but there are lots of thai touches inside, and photos of the food to help you make up your mind. we got the the thai basil fried rice (she gladly replaced the eggs with chicken since both jay and i have egg issues) and some big wide noodles with heaps of veggies, soy sauce and chicken. both were spicy (but not too spicy), and came in heaping portions that barely fit their containers.

while it's not top-tier thai food, it's pretty good, and all the better that it's within a quick bike ride from the house. we'll be back to check out more of the menu soon.
