I would like to share with you one of my favorite restaurants, in South
Windsor, located at 465 Buckland Road, (860) 644-0647. It is the best Thai restaurant --Sawadee Thai Cuisine. This Thai restaurant owned by the Chuaviriya Family, opened up in 2001. It is a 55--seat facility, not too big, not too small, just enough to create a warm, homelike atmosphere. When you walk in, a friendly staff member will escort you to your table and present you with a menu. By the time you finish studying the beautiful, one-of-a-kind Thai wall hangings, with soft background music playing in the background; your food will be prepared.
Sawadee Thai Cuisine is something between Indian and Chinese in taste. If you like these foods, you’ll enjoy the food prepared at Sawadee. Ms. Tik Chuaviriya, co-owner, says that some entrees are spicy. You will see a star next to them on the menu. Chefs can prepare these for you on a scale of one to five, with one being mild. Dishes include wide varieties of meat and vegetables. You will see entrees prepared with duck, chicken, pork, beef, seafood, or eggplant vegetable/tofu.
One of my favorites is Pineapple Fried Rice – Kao Pad Sapparod (see photo). It is $11.95 and made with shrimp, chicken, pineapple, cashew nuts, raisins, carrots, eggs, and snow peas. The plate is pretty large, so I always take half of it home (for a late-night snack).
Among other delicious dishes are appetizers: Spring Rolls (Chicken/Vegetable)-- kids’ favorite; Golden bags—Thoong Thong (kids’ favorite as well), made with deep-fried, minced crispy chicken wrapped with spring-roll skin, served with plum sauce; Satay Chicken/Beef, marinated in coconut milk with Thai spices and grilled, served with peanut sauce and cucumber relish dip; and Prik Klea (like chicken nuggets).
Some of the popular entrees are: Panang Duck—Panang Ped*, light, sweet, coconut-based with kaffir leaves, string beans, and green peas; Red Curry—Gang Dang*, coconut-based curry with bamboo shoots, eggplant, bellpappers, and basil.
When you visit Thai restaurant, don’t forget about dessert! The Signature dish is Mango Delight. It is made with a sweet, sticky rice (cooked with coconut milk and palm sugar) and sweet mango. It is topped with mild coconut and sesame seeds and priced at $5.50. Best dessert in the best Thai restaurant! Make sure, also, to try their full-of-aroma Thai hot tea or ginger/jasmine/green tea.
Ms. Chuaviriya says that many regular customers come here for lunch on weekdays because the restaurant features a different soup every day. Their most popular ones are chicken and tofu soup, spicy bamboo, and spicy chicken soup.
Ms. Chuaviriya says that for quality and safety she purchases all the meat and poultry for her Thai restaurant, from companies in the United States. From Thailand, she purchases long-grain jasmine rice that has a wonderful smell, dry noodles, fish/soy sauces, and mango/coconut juices.
