Thai Arroy Overall Rating

We would like to give a shout out to Rachel J. for suggesting that we try Thai Arroy.  She raved about it at work and since we were in the mood for Thai we decided to give her Thai a try.  (Previous line inspired by Dr. Suess.) We are so very grateful because the food truly was delicious.  Thai Arroy is a great hidden little spot to grab lunch or dinner any day of the week.  The décor was simple and consisted of two gigantic murals on each long wall of the restaurant, presumably depicting scenes of ancient Thai legend.  In general the staff was very friendly and efficient.  The owner of the restaurant came to check on us a few times and was gracious and kind.  The food was fabulous; everything we tasted we really liked.  The fresh flavors and bold spices made for a delectable dinner.  We recommend this restaurant for almost any and all occasions.  (We will say that is not the most romantic spot.  However you could go there for a casual date.)  The cost was very reasonable.  Our total bill came to $62.33 for two people.  As is typical for Federal Hill, parking was a challenge because you have to park on the street.  Overall we rate Thai Arroy ♪♪♪ and ½ note.

Sascha's Coconut Cake

Coconut cake is tricky.  It's either great or terrible.  In this case it was GREAT, or as we like to say yummyness personified!  The cake was a bit dense however it worked for this dish.  We loved the passion fruit curd that was nestled between each layer of the cake along with a cream cheese frosting.  The frosting was heavy but had to be to compliment the denseness of the cake.  Amazingly it was not to sweet.

This light and fluffy white mousse was the perfect finish to our meal.  The texture was velvety and smooth.  Grand Marnier added a nice kick.  This is a must try, it was so good and unique!

Sascha's Short Rib of Beef

Chared to perfection, these ribs were slightly crispy on the outside and so tender on the inside you could cut them with your fork.  Graced with aromatic flavors reminding us of cinnamon and cloves, this beef was divine.  Paired with a parsnip potato puree and vanilla bean black pepper oil, this dish insane.  What a wonderful blend of savory and sweet.
