Real Thai does southern Thai curries simply and well. A terrific combination. I consider this one a destination dish and often come to Real Thai just to feast on its haunting balance of sweet, hot and earthy flavors. This curious and compelling dish looks and tastes exactly as described. A banana is completely surrounded by sweet, sticky rice and then steamed in a banana leaf, like a Thai dessert burrito.
Black beans dot the white mounds of rice, adding a distinctive, non-Western touch.
A sure hand with classic dishes, with the occasional burst of glory.
