Ubon Thai Cuisine (Wilmington, DE) - http://www.ubonthaicuisine.
My husband and I have been meaning to go to Ubon since it opened. The opportunity was finally “forced” upon us when we ran a 5k on the Wilmington Riverfront. Even though there was food after the race, we could not pass up the opportunity for quality Asian food. We sat on the patio, which was intimate, even with people walking past on the Riverwalk. I did not go inside, being sweaty and all, but I did get a look at the bar, which looked like a nice place to hang out.
I ordered the Som Tom salad (medium spicy) and the Kaeng Khiao Wan with tofu (also medium spicy). The salad consisted of green papaya with tomatoes, long beans, Thai herbs and spices, and peanuts. I didn’t really enjoy it, I thought it was a little too sweet, due to the papaya. I did enjoy the Green Curry Tofu, and actually broke out into a little sweat while eating it. The curry paste was mixed with vegetables, Thai basil, and chilies. It was definitely spicy, but also very delicious. The tofu was slightly fried and the vegetables were sautéed with the curry paste. I think that I would choose this dish again – I’m kind of hooked on the spice!
