Orlando "Viet Thai" Thai restaurant experience

Located on Sand Lake Road near Florida Mall, "Viet Thai" is Thai restaurant serving Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. Thai Food has been one of my favorite cuisine, its has the right kind of combinations of spices with noodles, rice and your option of protein(chicken, beef,seafood, tofu).
      "Viet Thai" from outside looks small, its cozy place to have lunch/dinner on relax day. The table arrangement may be a bit close but once you start enjoying your food you forget about it. It has extensive menu with Thai starters, soup, rice, noodles and Vietnamese Pho. Prices are just right with portions of each dish being good.

We ordered soup which was hot and sour with shrimp, mushrooms it was good.


The Chicken Dumplings was really good.




Thai fish cakes, this was my first try of it and it was good too with slight fishy taste, more of fish nuggets with spicy flavor.
 


Salted fish fried rice was really full of flavors with bits of salted fish that added a punch of salty fishy taste to the bits of chicken fried rice.

Healthier Cooking Oils: Rice Barn Oil better better then Olive Oil


      With Healthy living a hot topic nowadays, choosing what one should eat is the buzz.
Cooking Oils are integral part of Indian style cooking and they are used a lot in Indian
cooking as compared to western food. So knowing about the right oils and choosing the
healthier Oils becomes really crucial. Olive Oil is one of the good Oils recommended to lower cholesterol
and to maintain your heart's health. But its doesn't go well within Indian cooking and is really
heavy on pocket.
       Rice Barn oil is also one of the good healthy oil available in the market. It suits Indian cooking
and also is much cheaper as compared to Olive oil. Its health benefits are comparable with Olive Oil.
To the folks who are curious to know the benefits of using these Oils and choosing the right options
I have gathered some good links that have more information.
