Thai Roma Restaurant, Washington, D.C.

Also on Capitol Hill is Thai Roma Restaurant, a place and I went last Friday for lunch. I've never quite figured out the Thai-Italian fusion thing. The menu looks completely, normally Thai; they say they also offer Italian pastas with Thai seasonings, but apparently those only are offered at dinner.

Robert had one of the daily specials, the duck kaprow. It looked very good with slices of battered and fried duck and bits of fried fresh basil leaves. He also had the curry puffs, something vaguely resembling vegetable samosas in Indian restaurants, as his appetizer. The puffs, unfortunately, weren't up to standards, as Robert complained that they were cold on the inside.


I went for one of the lunch combination plates, getting chicken massaman with a little egg roll. The egg rolls was a greasy little inconsequential thing, but I enjoyed my massaman curry. It was very peanutty and had a nice, subtle spice bite to it.
