apparently this was the weekend for crossing the river - thankfully the experiences did not disappoint (well, there was one thing, but I will get to that). I must say though, of the two choices, I much prefer DC - stupid MD drivers ... enough said.
anyway, we set out on the word of a friend who used to live in MD (yes, we made friends with a MDer ... miracles do happen) and, really, I do enjoy trying new places even if they are in MD.
so, this time it was thai and a second visit to the dutch market.
Old Siam eats -
satay - okay-average
larb gai - ehhh-average
pad thai with shrimp - mmmmmm i like thin rice noodles, but it also had small shrimp
gaeng massaman (coconut curry beef & potatoes) - i'm not a huge curry fan, but hubs seemed to really enjoy this one - unfortunately, we left the leftovers in the restaurant - D'OH!
gai pad kaprow - my friend got this one and it looked absolutely scrumptious - it had very fresh and crunchy peppers
Dutch Market heart break-
our first visit yielded a rich loot of baked goods - our greatest prize was the key lime pie - but, here is the previously-mentioned minor disappointment - apparently, the dutch market closes at 3pm on Saturdays, so by the time we got there after 1pm the bakery was practically emptied out - noooooooooooo!!!!!! :(
i hate lessons learned the hard way - especially when it comes to food!
anyway, we made it out with an apple crisp and some donuts. their chocolate donut is a chocolate covered yellow cakey donut - that was also slightly disappointing for this chocoholic, but the chocolate covering was decadent enough that i did not cry all the way home. we also tried the pretzels - yum-o-my-tum-o!! they make it right - lots of butter and lots of cinnamon-sugar. hubs thoroughly enjoyed his butter-drenched pepperoni and cheese pretzel - very cheesy.
Stats:
Old Siam Thai
next to the train tracks
Lancaster County Dutch Market
in the corner of the strip mall - parking's a little tight
