The Tropical was on the Tasty Tulsa to-do list because of one simple fact – the owners of Lanna Thai are responsible for creating it.  I can speak for myself, and my fellow Tasty Tulsa bloggers, in saying that Lanna Thai is one of our favorite restaurants in town with its comfortable ambiance and delicious cuisine.

There is one Thai dish in all of Tulsa that I measure up against all other Thai restaurants, which is the Pad Se Ew at Thai Siam.  The eggy rice noodles mixed with chicken, broccoli, and cilantro present the perfect spicy treat for my palate.  It’s so delicious in fact, that it makes my mouth water every time I simply [...]

I hate this kind of blog post.  This is one where I feel guilty for writing it, but also feel like I have to because of the sheer disappointment of a dining experience.  I probably would have refrained from ever writing this at all, drawing on the old adage “if you can’t say something nice…” [...]

Nestled way back in the corner of a shopping center @ 68th and Memorial you will find a little hidden gem called Bali Fusion Cafe.  Bali Fusion Cafe offers a variety of dishes from Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.  A melting pot of choices from Southeast Asia that fuses together and the result is a delightful dining [...]

These delicious answers to a Tulsa sweet tooth craving go above and beyond the ingenuity of a simple piece of pie or cake: 1. Peaches and Cream Sopapilla Relleno @ El Guapo’s Cantina This dessert features a warm, crispy sopapilla filled with honey and caramelized peaches. It is served with vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream and [...]

Last week, a couple girlfriends and I decided to try one of the new Thai places in town; Bamboo Thai Bistro.  I enjoyed the meal so much I wanted to take my husband there, a true Thai food lover, and see what he thought as well.  The restaurant is housed in what used to be [...]

KEO Asian Cuisine has been on my radar of restaurants to review since I first saw it sprout up in Brookside a few years ago.  The restaurant has a modern decor and KEO boasts of fresh ingredients and a fusion of flavors from Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Malaysia.  I love food from all these regions, [...]

I, my Chinese friend, and my American friend walk into Chopsticks, and if this sounds like the beginning of a great joke, it’s not far off, because what ensues is quite funny: my Chinese friend picks up a large mallot and hits the gong in the entryway, then turns to us and says “This is [...]

This past week I had one of those dreaded summer colds, you know, the type where you’re hot and sweaty and the 103 degree temperature doesn’t help things.  So it got to the point that, even though it was sweltering outside, I had to have my time tested remedy: Dr. Pepper and hot and sour soup.

Yesterday I met a couple family members and went to lunch at Ichiban located on 41st and Memorial.  You practically have to either have been there before or go with someone ”in the know” to find the place.  There is not a sign, nor open windows showcasing happy lunchers eating.  It’s a small hole in the wall that appears to be a closed [...]
