The Dragon’s Nest B&B is located in downtown Regina, so a stone’s throw from just about any cuisine you could want, including tons of sushi. But I’ve been told that DK in Moose Jaw is better than anything Regina has to offer (and less expensive). So I decided to go for something different tonight and within walking distance rather than go to the Applebee’s. I found some well reviewed Thai and Vietnamese restaurants and decided to try out a Thai one, Siam. I took it as a good sign that there were Thai people lined up outside, waiting for the restaurant to open at 5:30!

I won’t pretend to know anything about Thai food since I just about always get Pad Thai. It’s cheap, yummy, and it’s fun to see the variations. Siam’s Pad Thai was really good! It came with a heap of perfectly grilled shrimp (which usually costs a premium, but not at Siam) and chewy bits of tofu. I found the sauce a little sweet, but that could just be my new nearly sugarfree taste buds talking. There was lots of fresh lime to squeeze over top to cut the sweetness. I declined the chili since I don’t much care for spicy things.

Service was not great, unfortunately. I was seated quickly, was not asked if I wanted anything other than water to drink (helping me avoid the temptation of a cold beer!), had my order taken promptly, and was then ignored. The bill finally came and it took a while for me to realise that I was expected to go to the till to settle up.
