Thai Kingdom, Washington, D.C.

Leo got in late last night from a harrowing bus ride back from New York. Their tire blew out on the interstate and the bus nearly lost control; they were delayed four hours waiting for repairs and a replacement bus. So, when he got in, we thought he'd relax better if we went out to dinner, rather than cooking at home.

We walked up to K Street and found a wonderful, very authentic, Thai place called Thai Kingdom. The chicken satay appetizer was marinated in coconut milk and served with a great peanut sauce with quite a bit of spicy heat. Dessert was a shared plate of sticky rice with mango--**so** much better than the one we had last week at Thai Coast. For entrees, we had two different types of Thai flat noodles, Leo a dry, spicy mixture, and I had a beef and broccoli version that the waitress explained was different from a similar dish because this one came with gravy. Now, the dish was excellent.....great flavors, tender meat, interesting cuts of the entire broccoli plant, but the gravy....it wasn't gravy. It was sweet.
