She finally arrived on Fremont Street. Dressed in high heels and a red candied color jacket, she was fit for litigation. Despite being an attorney, Apple (pen name) is a great college friend.
In her 5ft 2 frame and porcelain skin, Apple could easily star in an Asian rendition of Sex and the City. She would of course playing Sarah Jessica Parker’s role.
Planted firmly on the corner of my eye, I was ready for fish tacos and crispy chips with lightening spiced up salsa at Baja Fresh.
As any proper gentle would, I offered. “I’m taking you out, your pick.”
In a slurring slow motion, “Ooooooooooha Thaiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”
Thought to myself, “crap!” Swanky, Yuppie. Far from the border, far from Baja Fresh. Galloping in her 4 inch heels and me hip hopping comfortably in my Nike hiking shoes, we marched toward Osha.
Welcoming the senses, the high ceiling and busy chattering heightened my appetite.
The forefront of Osha Thai is great food presentation complimented by a modern twist on Thai food that is on point.
With a stern looking face Apple said, “Stop slurping!” Pillowy rice all gone, but that would not stop me from slurping the remaining green curry ($11).
Hitting the palate, the smoky chili flavors marry perfectly with velvety texture from the coconut milk.
Made green from curry paste, the spectacular dish often includes kefir lime leaves, Thai basil leaves, sugar, and fish sauce. Despite thinly sliced, the chicken lacked tenderness. Hint to chef: Use dark meat.
Arrived in a U-shaped bowl, Apple ordered the Tom Yum Noodle ($10). Filled with floating fish balls, this order is great on a foggy day.
All the while, the Lychee Iced Tea ($3) finishes a great meal.
Osha Thai at this location, provides good Thai dishes, served on great presentation along with a modern interior design.
