I've previously blogged mango curries from Indian restaurants, but this is my first Thai version. The actual smooth mango curry sauces are quite similar, but the Thai version I had today contained small chunks of both sweet and soft ripe mango and crunchy unripe mango along with whole grape tomatoes that burst with juice in your mouth. For my protein I chose pork, because pork and fruit go well together, but vegetarians can choose tofu (and I've often served tofu in fruit sauces). I was told that the dish was medium hot, and I was asked if that was okay. I replied that I love spicy food, and on the receipt I noticed that they'd kicked it up a notch for me (which was perfect). The dish was served with plain rice which was good for soaking up the delicious gravy. Portions are large at this place (what you see is only a quarter of what I got), but the food was so saucy and tasty that there was never a doubt in my mind that I was going to finish it.
