Thai Carnation had some yummy Curries for us today on this cold and damp day. We asked for our curries to be medium-hot and the server brought out an assortment t of chilies so we could spice it exactly how we wanted. We started off with an appetizer of Chicken Satay. The chicken was sparse on some of the skewers but the peanut sauce was amazing. I probably could have eaten another order of Satay but decided to save room for my curry dish. I had the massaman curry while my friend had the red curry. Both were excellent and a good portion of meat was added. Everything tasted fresh prepared and delicious.
