Thai Oyster Shot – Conn. Blue Point oyster, pomelo, Thai mignonette, kaffir lime, tobiko caviar – the dressing is very similar to nuoc cham (which I LOVE) but with the addition of Thai chilies to give it more heat. The flavors balance out really nicely with the tobiko, though I do wish the pomelo was a little more prominent. These oysters were delicious, we ended up getting 3 dozen (they were $.99 during happy hour)
"Peek Gai Tod” Brother Chai’s Chicken Wings – Ngam’s house marinade, tamarind chili sauce, freshly picked apple – pretty good wings, the tamarind sauce was very tasty
“Sai Oor Farang” Thai Burger – 7oz hormone free beef patty, homemade “sai oor” curry paste, cilantro lime mayo, green papaya kraut, Chiang Mai Fries – this is one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while – the flavors were really interesting and the patty itself was really juicy. The Chiang Mai Fries were also really good - kabocha and sweet potato, served with homemade red curry mayo, and sweet and sour peanut relish.
Here’s a link to a burger piece that also has the recipe for Ngam’s burger:

Brussel Sprouts “Prik King” with Bacon – all the flavors were fine, but we both thought that the sprouts themselves weren’t cooked properly (texture seemed like it was overcooked, I’m not sure if they steamed/boiled a bunch before service and just added the other ingredients/sauce to order)
Overall, an excellent meal – I’ll definitely be back.
