Review: Orchid in Winter Park, Florida

Thai food is always fun and to have it in Winter Park was interesting.  Everything in Winter Park closes by 6:00pm, so the whole street was close to empty.

The Orchid was voted in Orlando Magazine as a perennial favorite and I understand why.  The Thai Iced Coffee was a yard's worth of sweet, creamy goodness.  The fresh roll, was fresh and light but in one of the rolls the shrimp was missing.  It came with a plum sauce which was bit heavy.

We also had a beef dish that was more like jerky with a sticky rice.  The sticky rice was tasty it just was at odds with a crispy beef with a sweet and vinegary sauce.

We also had some dish with nuts and limes an all sorts of craziness that you ate with leaves.  Interesting and it would have been a great date appetizer.  We left after the appetizers to head out for a party.  i wish we could have stayed because I think it would have been a great meal.
