Siam Chan

Siam Chan is the little hole-in-the-wall Thai place across the street from the Royal Theater on Santa Monica Blvd. We hadn't been there in ages, and were mighty surprised to find that they have changed their menu to include a whole bunch of Chinese dishes, such as this super-sized egg flower soup.

today's special: the crispy trout with apple salad. Thai apple salad is a fabulous idea - it's basically green papaya salad with apples instead, and it works great. Very tasty. Not so sure about that overbreaded trout, but it was worth a try. Coming to think of it, I haven't really been lucky ordering trout as far back as I can remember. Why do I keep trying?
I guess there is no word in Thai for trout?
only in LA: a bilingual fortune cookie...
