text: My latest visit to Lotus of Siam was again a success Almost every time I come here someone I am with wants to order something that I know will not be good I usually just smile and say Sure let us try it I do not want to force my friends to order only what i like which is why I nod my head and smile but these dishes remind me each time of why it is so important to order correctly here The bad dish this time was the fried dumplings Very bland stuffed with a very small amount of meat and very average nnLuckily they served the Beef Jerky and the dumplings at the same time so my friend was able to see why i like this place so much We got the Beef Jerky Northern Style Pork Curry Issan Sausage Seafood with Drunken Noodle and Coconut Ice Cream w Fried Banana Roll Everything was very good The sausage was very dry but had a great fermented flavor and when combined with the cabbage fresh chiles roasted peanuts ginger and cilantro it covers the palate with different flavors that work together perfectly nnThe coconut ice cream was worth writing home about too Icy refreshing and full of fresh coconut flavor this was the best way to end the meal since the Sticky rice w mango was not available as the mangoes were not in season nnOnce again Lotus of Siam comes through
