About a year ago, I rented a Camry in Los Angeles to take my family around. I don't remember exactly why I chose that car, but I'm sure it must have had something to do with comfort, reliability and price (for the budget-conscious student that I was). Sure enough, the car delivered exactly what I expected it to, safely and assuredly. That, and nothing more. But that's not all bad. In fact, that is precisely the selling point of the Toyota, its success evident from the 6451 Camrys that you've passed by on the way to work this morning. Obviously the countless number of drivers who own Camrys have gotten their priorities in order and there's absolutely nothing wrong with purchasing an automobile that tries to be an all-rounder and has gotten quite good at it.
The only problem is that the crowd pleaser is a tad too safe. It lacks punch, that chilling sense of excitement and seductive mystery. And as I drove, I made a mental note: do not buy this car. If Yhingthai Palace was a car, it would be a Camry. This restaurant delivers the goods in a safe and pleasant fashion without wiping out your bank account.
My family went for the dinner set menu which had 8 dishes including desserts. This place is known for pretty standard Thai cuisine and by the end of dinner, we all concurred that the dishes were all done quite well. My personal favourites were the mango salad and olive rice, both of which weighed more on the sweeter end. There really isn't much else to say, other than that I'll be back for more comfort food. And that is where the similarities between Yhingthai and Camrys end.
