I love Thai food because of all the yummy flavors and spices that are used in traditional Thai cooking.

So, I was very happy to hear of the new direction Chef Angus had decided to take, on transforming Gastropod into Maenam, located in the heart of Kitsilano.

The renovations to the room were kept simple and uncomplicated however, the 360 degree turn in the menu was well worth it. Here’s how the dinner paned out:

We started out with the House smoked keta salmon salad ($14) and Hot and sour seafood soup with holy basil ($16), and followed with a Pad thai ($13) and Panaeng beef ($16). Of course all f this was accompanied with savory and sweet coconut rice.

Will I go back again? Absolutely. Thai me away to Maenam any day.
