Typhoon!
My parents and I went to Typhoon! on 2310 NW Everett St (at 23rd) in Portland for dinner last night and it was excellent. My parents have been to Thailand for a family wedding, and my father said he thought this was the best Thai food he's had in the U.S.
We got the Miang Burma appetizer, which consisted of spinach leaves containing a mixture of peanuts, coconut, and lemon grass. Then we had the Five-Spice Crispy Duck, Crab Pad Thai, and Summer Curry (there was more to that name, but I can't find it on the online menu), which consisted of spinach and chicken with red curry.
Everything was delicious and the service was prompt and friendly. My only complaint was that it was so dark that it was hard to read the small print on the menu.
PS. We went to Dan and Louis Oyster Bar on Friday night and enjoyed the stew (we each ordered a different kind), and on Saturday morning we went to the Original Pancake House and had a great breakfast after a long wait.
