Jasmine Thai Cuisine in Twin Falls, Idaho<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My sister and I joke that our hometown of Pe\u00f1asco is the only place in the entire country that doesn’t have a McDonald’s or a Thai restaurant. \u00a0Thanks to our neighbors in the Picuris Pueblo, there’s a Subway just a few miles west of our home. \u00a0The McDonald’s closest to Pe\u00f1asco is 25 miles away in Taos which also boasts of three Thai restaurants. \u00a0Driving twenty-five miles in the high mountain country is very different from driving 25 miles in Albuquerque where you might still be in the Duke City when driving that distance. \u00a0Driving from Pe\u00f1asco to Taos involves precipitous curves, steep climbs and sometimes weather conditions that render the streets unsafe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just how pervasive are Thai restaurants? There are some 20,000 Thai restaurants outside of Thailand, about half of them being in the United States and Canada. A humorous YouTube video actually purports to answer “Why Almost Every Town in America Has a Thai Restaurant<\/strong><\/a>, and goes on to declare “Thai restaurants: they’re as American as apple pie<\/em>.” \u00a0You’ll have to watch the video for yourself to learn more about the ubiquity of Thai restaurants. \u00a0Suffice to say, Pe\u00f1asco may be the last place under spacious skies to have a Thai restaurant. \u00a0Pe\u00f1asco may be the last place for a McDonald’s, too…and there are 13,503 McDonalds<\/strong><\/a> restaurants in the United States as of May 10, 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Most Interesting Mural I’ve Ever Seen at a Thai Restaurant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The ubiquity of Thai restaurants makes them a dependable option when deciding where to eat while traveling. \u00a0That dependability applies not only to the sheer number of Thai restaurants dotting the fruited plain, but just how consistently “same” they tend to be. \u00a0Yelp lists some eight Thai restaurants within Twin Falls, Idaho, most garnering four to five star ratings. \u00a0We selected Jasmine Thai Cuisine, one of the five-star options. \u00a0A fellow blogger told me Jasmine Thai was the best Asian restaurant in Twin Falls. \u00a0If you can’t trust food bloggers, who are you going to trust? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jasmine Thai is somewhat off the beaten path or at least for us it was. \u00a0Not knowing the streets of Twin Falls, we had to rely on our trusty GPS to get us around. \u00a0Our path seemed rather indirect and when we got to Jasmine Thai, there were very few vehicles in the parking lot. \u00a0“This is the best Asian restaurant in Twin Falls<\/em>?” we asked ourselves. \u00a0By the time our meal concluded, the restaurant was nearly full. \u00a0From the outside Jasmine Thai looks rather Lilliputian, but it’s actually quite expansive with two separate dining rooms. \u00a0We were seated in the larger of the two, a yawning space.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Satay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s become somewhat of a joke for us to imagine going to an American restaurant and seeing a framed photograph of Brandon prominently displayed on the walls. \u00a0Half the American population wouldn’t dine at the restaurant if they saw that. \u00a0At Thai restaurants, however, you’ll almost always find a framed photograph of the king<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0More interesting than a royal portrait was one of the most unique murals we’ve seen. \u00a0Buddha (a skinny one) is at the center of what appears to be a raging conflict. \u00a0One side of the mural depicts people in a watery tempest. \u00a0Some are being consumed by dragons or large fish. \u00a0Others struggle to escape their watery grave. \u00a0The other side of the mural doesn’t appear quite as Armageddon-like, but it’s certainly no happy scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

More interesting than the mural or the photograph of the royal family is the menu. \u00a0Talk about ubiquity. \u00a0If you’ve ever wondered why the menu at most Thai restaurants appears to be a mirror image of every other menu at every Thai restaurant you’ve visited, Mashed.Com<\/strong><\/a> has the answer for you: “In 2002, the Thai government officially launched the Global Thai Program, which, according to Food & Wine, served as a diplomatic initiative to increase Thai restaurants globally<\/em>.” This initiative is known as Gastrodiplomacy.” Thailand’s Department of Export Promotion devised a standardized pricing structure based on Thai restaurant menus that are strikingly similar no matter where you go (unless you go to Pe\u00f1asco).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Drunken Noodles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the menus at Thai restaurants are strikingly similar, our experiences have shown that not all Thai restaurants are created equal. \u00a0For me, the best Thai restaurants strike a balance between the five main flavors in Thai cuisine: salty, sour, sweet, spicy and creamy. Typically, an authentic Thai dish has one slightly prominent taste with layers of the other three or four flavors providing balance and enriching the overall taste of a dish. \u00a0I’m sad to say that the reason we don’t frequent Thai restaurants in the Albuquerque area is because most dishes skew heavily toward sweet dishes and the balance of flavors just isn’t always there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, so we knew exactly what dishes the menu would have so our big question was how balanced would the dishes be. \u00a0Our first test was the chicken<\/strong><\/em> satay<\/strong><\/em>, the first we’ve had that wasn’t skewered. \u00a0As expected, the satay was served with a cucumber salad and peanut sauce for dipping. \u00a0Both sauces were on the sweet side (not that we’d kick them off our table). \u00a0The satay was grilled chicken strips marinated in sugar and curry powder with some coconut milk, lemongrass and lime leaves. \u00a0Curry was the prevalent flavor, but notes of coconut milk and lemongrass snuck in periodically. \u00a0We knew we were in for a good experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Penang Curry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If “Thai hot” dishes are Chuck Norris, my Kim’s favorite dishes tend to be more like Don Knotts, not necessarily milquetoast but lacking piquancy. \u00a0That’s why she loves drunken noodles<\/strong><\/em> (stir-fried flat rice noodles with garlic, bell pepper, onion, carrot, tomato and basil), a dish which has absolutely no alcohol. According to Giant of Siam<\/strong><\/a>, “As with many traditional dishes, there are several stories about where the name \u201cdrunken noodles\u201d came from. More than one of them is related to how spicy these noodles are. One explanation is that because the dish is so spicy, you would have to drink a lot to handle the spice. Another is that the extreme spice of the noodles is the only thing strong enough for inebriated people to taste<\/em>.” \u00a0In truth, there’s nothing spicy or piquant about the dish unless you request it. \u00a0My Kim no longer enjoys anything spicier than ketchup and that’s how Jasmine Thai prepared her drunken noodles. \u00a0The flat rice noodles are somewhat reminiscent of Italian pappardelle noodles and in fact, there are a number of varying recipes for Italian drunken noodles. \u00a0Though there were no surprises, Jasmine Thai’s version of drunken noodles was quite good.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our server told me his favorite curry dish is Penang curry<\/strong><\/em> Thai hot so that’s precisely how I requested it. \u00a0You might be asking yourself how you can find balance in a dish that is that<\/em> hot. \u00a0It’s not easy unless your taste buds are coated in asbestos. \u00a0Then maybe, just maybe you can discern more than just the heat. \u00a0For example, there’s the sweetness of the coconut milk, the sour tang of kaffir lime and the savory notes of the accompanying steamed jasmine rice and choice of protein (pork, chicken, beef, tofu, veggie). \u00a0I previously referred to “Thai hot” dishes as Chuck Norris in that they pack a fierce kick, but they also pack superb flavors. \u00a0This was the best Penang curry I’ve had in years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Mangoes With Sticky Rice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of our favorite desserts from any nation is mangoes with sticky rice<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0In season, it’s one of the most delicious, fresh-tasting postprandial treats you can imagine. \u00a0This traditional Thai dessert made with glutinous rice (sticky rice), coconut cream, and fresh mango will blow your socks off. \u00a0Imagine the sweetness of the coconut cream melded together with the nutty, chewy, sticky texture of the glutinous rice and the incomparably refreshing taste of sliced, cooled mangoes. Mangoes are known for their juicy flesh, but the flavor can be difficult to describe. Some compare the taste to a cross between peach and pineapple. Others say it tastes like a combination of tropical flavors with a hint of citrus. \u00a0 All I know is that mangoes are uniquely delicious with an incomparable, unbeatable flavor all their own. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The dichotomy of Thai restaurants is that despite their “sameness,” some rise above the standard. \u00a0Jasmine Thai Cuisine is one such restaurant. \u00a0It’s one of the best Thai restaurants we’ve encountered in our travels.<\/span><\/p>\n
