STEPH DEROSA: SLOW BURN >>>
Galanga Thai Cuisine
Drunken Noodles with Chicken
Price: $8.95
Burn Factor: Three and a half out of four
The fiery food possibilities are endless when it comes to Thai food. I was Peter Rabbit in McGregor’s garden as my friends and I perused the menu at Galanga Thai on Broadway. One, two, three, or four stars? How hot is four stars, really? It takes a lover of all things heat to go for the gold, to go for the fourth star. That lover was not me.
I went for the Drunken Noodles with Chicken, three star heat. Wide Rice noodles mixed with fresh basil, tomato, onion, carrot, bell peppers, egg, chicken, and of course â€" chilies. Eaten immediately upon arrival as the dish is still warm, these spicy red chilies exploded like a piñata in my mouth, dancing all the way through lunch.
For someone who has a tolerance to handle things pretty hot, I was certainly glad I had stayed away from the ultra-hot, four-star chili rating. Three stars was enough to burn my nose and tingle my throat completely, leaving me utterly content. As my body sweated just slightly, and my server refilled my water quite frequently, I couldn’t thank Galanga and their cooks enough for this all-around faultless mid-day meal.
