まるでタイの屋台にいるかのような雰囲気を味わえます！ : Taiya Taikaokaokao

I visited a Thai Cuisine restaurant that I was interested in in Ikebukuro. Even though it's located in Ikebukuro, I was very interested in the atmosphere of both the exterior and the interior of the restaurant, which made me feel like I was in Thailand. This time, I visited with my drinking buddy reviewers, Akira Senpai 1120 and TACKMON. Visit after making a reservation at 6:30pm on weekdays. A neon signboard written in the local language on a stall-like appearance. It's quite distinctive. By the way, the store name is written as ``999'' and is ``Khao Kao Kao.'' Let's have a toast now! When I looked at the drink menu, I found something called "bucket beer." 2.5 mugs worth? For now, it seems like we're done, TACKMON-san and I have buckets of beer, and Akira-senpai has a bucket of highballs and says, "Cheers!" However, the bucket that came out contained quite a lot of ice. So, of course, both beer and highballs are ``thin!'' Because you drink them through a straw, they really taste like water. Isn't it really worth it after all? ? But I remembered it later. In Thailand, it is common to drink beer with ice. So, this is also a local style, so does that alone make you feel happy? Although it doesn't seem like a great value, it's interesting how the bucket blends into the atmosphere of the store. The menu here is like a Thai guidebook, and I love that it has many photos so it's easy to decide on the menu. It's not a course meal, so choose what you like. The dishes we received that day are as follows.・Bucket Cilantro I'm not really a fan of cilantro, but the two men seemed to love it. I ordered a bucket of cilantro. That's impossible (lol), but the bright green brightened up the table, so let's just say it's a good thing.・Thai-style Bangbanji This is really spicy. The chicken had no odor and was delicious.・Steamed Spring Rolls There were three types of spring rolls: raw, steamed, and fried, but there was no assorted version, so this time I chose the steamed. Yes, this is correct. The chewy texture of the skin is very good (^^) ◎Fried Tom Yum Personally, this is a hit. It's nothing special, it's just fried chicken generously sprinkled with sour and spicy tom yum powder, but it's delicious and addictive. Even if it's not Thai Cuisine, if you see it on the menu at Izakaya (Japanese-style bar), it's sure to be popular.・Corn salad Corn and tomatoes are served with a sour dressing typical of Thai Cuisine. As someone who loves corn, I ordered it on my own, but someone pointed out that it was a bit out of season (lol) Indeed ~(>_<) - Stir-fried squid with black pepper A food stall had stir-fried dishes piled up in large quantities on aluminum plates. There was an atmosphere of However, the cut of squid is huge! The squid was quite filling. "Stir-fried black pepper" This felt like a familiar taste rather than Thai Cuisine.・Shrimp Bread Spread minced shrimp on bread and deep-fry it, then drizzle with sweet chili sauce. This is delicious. Many restaurants serve the sauce separately, but this one comes with plenty of sauce. I'm not a big fan of sweet chili sauce, but it's essential for shrimp bread.・Shrimp Pad Thai It has the familiar sweet and sour taste, but this one is good because it's not too sweet. I enjoyed the taste by squeezing lemon and adding spicy seasonings. The shop is small, and when you order stir-fried food, it gets very smoky, so the entrance is often opened for ventilation, so it was cold. I think it's a store. All the dishes were delicious! ! Sometimes I have a strong desire to eat Thai Cuisine, which always tastes spicy, sweet, or sour, but the flavor was delicious and satisfied my cravings. I never knew there was a shop like this in an area of Ikebukuro that I don't often go to. Ikebukuro is still interesting. Well, I still can't drink enough water with a bucket of beer and two bottles of Chung beer. Isn't everyone like that too? (lol) Akira-senpai and I discussed where to go next. And it was decided in seconds! So, let's move on to the next store (^^)/
