A friend of mine invited me to this new Thai restaurant in our valley that I had been wanting to try, and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the Hot Squid lunch special that came with tender squares of squid stir fried with basil leaves, bell pepper, mushrooms, celery, onion, carrot, and their special hot basil sauce that was dark and rich. You can order it mild, but I got the hot version, of course, and the squid had a whiff of the sea that I really enjoy. Since it was a lunch special, I got it with white rice and sweet and sour Tom Yum soup with chicken. You can also choose brown rice and salad. This hot squid dish had a nice balance of spice and sweet.
