By Kelsey Wilkinson Thai Bowl was not what I expected. It was better. The quaint Thai restaurant, which opened in 2009, is located in a strip center on Walton Way, and though it is not an upscale dining establishment, it had a great atmosphere to go along with the customer service. Even upon entering, I expected counter service and was surprised when my guests and I were immediately greeted and seated by the owner, Suwit Kaedsomya. Some faint background music made for a tranquil ambience. However, we came to • Secure campus • Water park, pool, playing fields and age appropriate playgrounds • Individualized program and child assessments • Degreed, credentialed, experienced teachers • Challenging curriculum which fosters a lifetime of learning • Chef-prepared lunches and snacks • Free Internet viewing for parents learn that the beauty of Thai Bowl was in the food. The menu wasn’t expansive, but it was more than sufficient for a lunch crowd and included all of the signature dishes one would hope to find at a Thai eatery. Much like chips and salsa can be indicators of the food quality at Mexican restaurants, I have heard that pad thai, a traditional dish of stir-fried rice noodles, is an indicator of what’s to come with Thai establishments. If true, then Thai Bowl ranks high. The pad thai lunch special ($6.95) comes with the soup of the Cypress Creek Rd. El Salido Ridgeline Lakeline Blvd. RR 620 Lakeline Mall Anderson Mill Rd. SELECTED!

National Child Care Center of the Year Research (183) day, an egg roll and a giant serving of the dish, with a choice of meat or tofu. The dish was plentiful and fairly priced. The stir-fried rice noodles and ground peanuts were infused with an exotic and savory blend of spices. The texture was sublime and not chewy or overcooked. The table came equipped with four foreign (to me) sauces and spices, which when added to the pad thai, made for a dish that seemed customized to taste, but didn’t lose its Thai authenticity. Authenticity is a big player at Thai Bowl. Kaedsomya grew up in Thailand and said he tries to keep the recipes in line with traditional Thai cuisines, rather than making them more Americanized. “A lot of people don’t know Thai food, but they try it here and they like it,” Kaedsomya said. “They say it’s more tasty than spicy.” Extra spice can be added for customers who prefer a kick to their meal. Also good to try is the curry of the day ($6.95). Every day the restaurant offers two curries to choose from and, like the pad thai, they are available as part of the lunch special. The Massaman curry is definitely worth a taste. The Southernstyle curry is served with steamed white rice and combines coconut milk, potatoes, onions, carrots, peanuts and a choice of meat or tofu. The coconut milk brings TAEKWONDO TRAINING CENTER of Leander SUMMER CAMP 2010 June 14 - June 18 9am-1pm TaekwonDo class, Board Breaking, Weapons Training, Extreme Martial Arts Training, Mini Seminars and Competitions, Super Soaker party and more… Prices (includes lunches and a t-shirt) 1 child- $100 and 2 children- $170 $50 each child after 2.

Though made of seemingly contrasting ingredients, when blended together, they create a savory meal that bursts of flavor. For the novice Thai restaurateur, I recommend the sesame chicken bowl ($4.95). The Americanized Chinese dish consists of fried chicken covered in a sweet red glaze and topped with sesame seeds. The batter was a terrific consistency that wasn’t overly chewy or crunchy, and the glaze tasted a bit sweeter and more flavorful than what I am accustomed to. The portion was generous, and it was served with a bowl of moist fried rice mixed with egg. For Cedar Park residents, and those a little farther out, Thai Bowl is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner. It wins not only for its good prices and large quantities, but also the quality of the food itself.
