The delightfully fragrant jasmine flower, for example, is thought to have originated in the Himalayas, a mountainous region prone to extremely harsh weather.\u00a0 The jasmine&#8217;s delicate star-shaped flowers yield a light and sweet fragrance tinged with a hint of the tropics and strongly evocative of the exotic locations in which the flower is most popular. The jasmine is as beloved among emperors, kings and sultans as it is among people of the common clay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Jasmine flowers are worn on the hair of women in Thailand where the flower symbolizes motherhood. Brewed and consumed daily in teas throughout Southeast Asia, jasmine is thought to be effective in the prevention of certain cancers.\u00a0 With mild analgesic and antiseptic properties, it is used to treat some respiratory disorders and to help sufferers overcome muscular discomfort. It is even thought to help ward off depression and anxiety thanks to its emotionally uplifting beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 476px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 476px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 476\/350;vertical-align: text-top; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/abq\/thai\/Images\/Jasmine02.jpg\" alt=\"Combination appetizer plate\" width=\"476\" height=\"350\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"8\" vspace=\"8\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Combination appetizer plate<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">High expectations are in order when a restaurant has a name like Jasmine Thai. Diners might expect that the restaurant be pleasing to the eye and that aromas emanating from the kitchen titillate the olfactory senses. This restaurant does not disappoint in either count.\u00a0 Clustered among several restaurants in the 25 The Way retail and professional district, Jasmine Thai launched in late June, 2007 in a space vacated by the Owl Cafe. As of August its exterior signage had not yet been finished.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Jasmine Thai has a storied culinary heritage. Its owners once also owned the Bangkok Cafe when, during its halcyon days, it was named one of Albuquerque&#8217;s twelve best restaurants by the <em>Albuquerque Journal<\/em>.\u00a0 At the very least Jasmine Thai is one of the city&#8217;s most attractive Asian restaurants. Framed paintings of various flowers hang from multi-hued walls while beautiful silk flowers peek out of ornate vases. An entire section of the restaurant is dedicated to the royal family of Thailand. There is much to please the eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 455px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 455px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 455\/342;vertical-align: text-top; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/abq\/thai\/Images\/Jasmine03.jpg\" alt=\"Crunchy shrimp roll\" width=\"455\" height=\"342\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"8\" vspace=\"8\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Crunchy shrimp roll<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">A relatively small sushi bar prefaces the kitchen. The number of Asian restaurants other than Japanese serving sushi continues to increase and Jasmine Thai entered the fray, too.\u00a0 The sushi menu is relatively limited with all the requisite maki rolls, hand rolls, nigiri sushi, sashimi and vegetable rolls many sushi restaurants seem to serve including the de rigueur maki roll stuffed with New Mexico green chile.\u00a0 If the <strong><em>crunchy shrimp roll<\/em><\/strong> is any indication, Jasmine Thai &amp; Sushi House won&#8217;t be competing for acclaim as one of the city&#8217;s best purveyors of sushi. While the tempura battered shrimp was fine, the rice disintegrates when introduced into a mixture of wasabi and soy sauce. Spooning sushi out of that mixture will detract from anyone&#8217;s appreciation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: \u00a0 As has been astutely pointed out to me, sushi etiquette dictates that you dip maki rolls into soy sauce fish side up. \u00a0Rice easily absorbs soy sauce and it&#8217;s only natural that it would crumble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">All dishes can be made to your liking&#8211;mild, medium or hot and all but noodle dishes are served with a side of rice. It&#8217;s absolutely no surprise that the restaurant uses only top-grade Jasmine rice from Thailand, a long-grain variety of rice renown for its nutty aroma and subtle flavor. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 442px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 442px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 442\/320;vertical-align: text-top; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/abq\/thai\/Images\/Jasmine04.jpg\" alt=\"Mango Chicken\" width=\"442\" height=\"320\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"8\" vspace=\"8\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Mango Chicken<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">A dozen appetizers include some not found in other Thai restaurants in the Duke City. That includes <strong><em>squid strips<\/em><\/strong>, ten deep-fried squid strips served with a side of spicy sweet and sour peanut sauce. The squid strips are lightly battered. crispy and just a bit salty. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">A <em><strong>combination appetizer sampler<\/strong><\/em> will give you the opportunity to try several of the restaurant&#8217;s pre-prandial treats. These include two Thai spring rolls (stuffed with ground chicken, cabbage, silver noodles and carrots), four Thai meatballs and two shrimp all served with a side of sweet and sour peanut sauce.\u00a0 Though the ground chicken is parsimoniously apportioned, the <strong><em>spring rolls<\/em><\/strong> are crispy and full of flavor. The wrapper is crispy and not at all greasy.\u00a0 The <strong><em>Thai meatballs<\/em><\/strong> are grilled on skewers and have a texture unlike any Italian or Swiss meatball you&#8217;ve ever had. The texture is, in fact, more similar to that of a sausage only even less grainy. Still, the meatballs are more than just interesting; they are quite delicious, too. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 455px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 455px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 455\/292;vertical-align: text-top; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/abq\/thai\/Images\/Jasmine05.jpg\" alt=\"Thai fried rice\" width=\"455\" height=\"292\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"8\" vspace=\"8\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Thai fried rice<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Wok-fried dishes, some tempting enough to pry me away from curry, occupy a prominent section of the menu. One of those dishes is <em><strong>Mango Chicken<\/strong>, <\/em>an entree I last had at a Vietnamese restaurant in Denver.\u00a0 The best mango chicken provides a marriage of sweet, tangy and savory flavors with no one taste sensation overwhelming the others. Jasmine Thai prepares an excellent mango chicken.\u00a0 Served steaming hot in a beautifully shaped bowl, it features mango that hasn&#8217;t quite ripened to the level of dessert sweetness, leaving it more lip-pursing tangy than sweet. The chicken is lean and tender with none of the annoying dark, sinewy pieces other restaurants serve. The carrots are fresh and crispy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Jasmine&#8217;s <strong><em>Thai Fried Rice <\/em><\/strong>is perfectly prepared with an enticing fragrance and nutty taste characterizing the best and most expensive rice dishes. It is prepared with your choice of chicken, pork or beef, egg, sliced celery and yellow onions. The yellow onions are grilled and delicious!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 504px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 504px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 504\/344;vertical-align: text-top; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/abq\/thai\/Images\/Jasmine07.jpg\" alt=\"Mangoes and sticky rice\" width=\"504\" height=\"344\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"8\" vspace=\"8\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Mangoes and sticky rice<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">When my Kim ordered <strong><em>Moo Tod<\/em><\/strong>, my first reaction was &#8220;boring.&#8221; Moo Tod sounds like little more than breaded pork chops, but when prepared well, those pork chops are highly flavorful.\u00a0 At Jasmine Thai, an order of Moo Tod means six pieces of tender pork marinated in a garlic-pepper sauce then wok-fried and served with a side of sweet and sour peanut sauce. The pork is almost fork-tender and the sauce subtle and delicious. In fact, forget all about the peanut sauce which is almost cloying in its sweetness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Save the sweetness for dessert where <em><strong>mangoes and sticky rice<\/strong><\/em> are available. There are few desserts quite as refreshing as mangoes in season bathed in sweet coconut milk. This dessert evokes the sensation of a sweltering, carefree summer day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Jasmine Thai &amp; Sushi House has the culinary pedigree to succeed in a growing Thai restaurant market.
