I went to several Asian restaurants to have the taste of Asian cuisines during my visit to the United States and one of the Asian food that I have tried is the Thai cuisine from Thai Orchid Restaurant. Well, the Thai Orchid is situated close to Intel, so I actually went to Thai Orchid Restaurant on one of the day where my colleague and I work until late evening and decided to try something that will spice up our day and Thai food seems like a good idea.
The outside of the Thai Orchid Restaurant has an old cottage design like most of the buildings in Hillsboro, Oregon with the big restaurant billboard and with plenty of parking space - maybe because we are dining a little bit late. Inside, the Thai Orchid Restaurant was nicely decorated with the Thai look - so you will feel as if you were dining in one of the restaurants in Thailand.
I ordered the Panang curry chicken since I never really had Panang curry chicken back in Malaysia or when I went Bangkok two years back. The Panang curry chicken is a type of Thai curry which is generally milder than most of the Thai curries - and yes the curry doesn't taste spicy to me but having warm cooked food in the midst of cold weather is satisfying.
Unlike most Thai curries which has the sour taste, Panang curry does not have souring agent so it was clear that this taste is missing from the Panang curry that I had. The curry was simmered in coconut milk and has ground peanuts which makes the curry taste slightly sweet; but the sweetness found in Panang curry was so natural that I like it as well.
