"Shrinking Portions and Expanding Prices"
On a bitterly cold February evening, my husband and I decided to order in to avoid heading outside in search of food. We had frequently ordered from Taste of Thailand in the past, but stopped a few years ago and for the life of me I couldn't recall why. I wish we'd remembered because it would have saved us from a big disappointment. Our order for two people came to $52 dollars for three dishes plus some steamed rice. If either of us had been really hungry there would have been no leftovers. And what happened to the complimentary shrimp chips with accompanying peanut sauce?

I wouldn’t mind the price if the food was as
good as it used to be and as plentiful as it used to be. No and no. The food isn’t fresh, and it can’t be blamed on the delivery time
because it arrived quickly. The steamed
rice had clearly been sitting in a pot for hours, and the pad thai was a lump
of congealed rice noodles with a tired orange slice. But my biggest beef was with the Chinese Broccoli
and Shitake Mushrooms, because the container had very little in it and it was
$11.95! I usually need my arm twisted to choose anything containing broccoli so the fact that I used to like this dish speaks volumes. But this order was a bunch of stems floating in a watery liquid. No thanks.
Taste of
Thailand, you've cheaped out and we won’t be ordering
again. “Fool me once shame on you...”
