I went to a Thai restaurant, Penang in Princton (NJ), and this restaurant was my first experience for Thai, and any following venture into this world of potential deliciousness (as what I saw from my friends meal) will not be tainted by this experience.
I ordered the Pi Pa Duck, which was the most abysmal disgrace to the concept of food I have ever seen. Taco bell's non-beef beef is of a higher quality and is actually satisfying, unlike his pathetic excuse for an entree. At $17.00 I expect the meal to exist.
What I received was little more then a duck skeleton with the little meat that they forgot to remove from the bone prior to serving you those bones. The only positive thing to say about this dish was the sauce was tasty if it wasn't all over the bone and the skin.
By the time I was able to separate some small pieces of meat from the bones using my two forks, I was too frustrated to taste the meal. I was forced to use the two forks since I was not given a knife, nor did the waiters come by to see if we needed anything, including drinks. This service was poor enough for me to tip barely 10%; I usually tip 20%, and that is for mediocre service.
This is the first time I have ever gone out to eat, spent more than $3.00 and came buck hungrier then when I left. So hungry that I had to make food at home.
To summarize, the next time I would like to eat table scraps and be ignored I will go to a third world country for dinner. It will cost more to do, but at least I will get to see the world while not being fed.
