Thai Temple A+

just a little reminder to all of you who read this blog... go to thai temple on sunday mornings (russel & mlk), starting at about 10 to 1:30ish (when they run out of food). the members of this buddhist temple open up their hearts and kitchens to the community. a token system ($1-1token) is in place here, making it much easier for you to spend more than you think, but the prices are SO reasonable that you don't mind droppin those tokens in their respective boxes.

fellow foodchick, lydia, and i spent a lovely morning there with a few other friends. you'll end up running into folks you know for sure.

this quintessential berkeley spot features excellent thai food, a friendly community ambience (and hipster), and 5 cool points added to your score if you go.

we recommend: the noodle soup ($5), fresh papaya salad ($5), khanom krog ($3) (coconut milk patties), khanom b... (fried coconut cookies), mango & sticky rice ($4).

it seriously is one of my absolute favorite things to do in berkeley (hence the several mentions of it throughout this blog.)

so i IMPLORE you to check it out.

love,
melissa
