Corpus Christi

(From September 2010) This is an uncommonly good Southeast Asian restaurant in a rather obscure strip center. On a recent visit we made a meal of a platter-filling appetizer—shrimp and shredded veggies in a rice flour crepe. The amateur chef in our party had high praise for a soft-shell crab entrée. Always check out the daily chalkboard specials, and save room for your share of a fried banana dessert. Beer & wine.

In the mood for a pleasurable evening and food that gets your taste buds out of a rut? Avail yourself of the generous but never intrusive hospitality of Pennee and Paul Chanyaman, who continue to upgrade every aspect of this fine-dining oasis. Since our last visit they have added a modest but well-chosen selection of affordable wines and sev-eral tempting specials to supplement their long list of Thai standards. A red snapper filet and tender grilled lamb chops, both served with grilled vegetables, curry, and an artfully carved wedge of pineapple, were de-lightful (for the curry, choose your heat level carefully). Beer & wine.

Tony Lam and his team make this downtown landmark hard to beat for fine dining in South Texas. Two menu standbys came off tasty and well-prepared: the ca ri ga, a mild chicken curry with a medly of crunchy vegetables, and the Chapman Special (made to order, and named for a loyal patron), a blend of sauteed spinach, broccoli, tofu, Japanese eggplant, tomatoes, bean sprouts, and ginger. Even more noteworthy was a daily special of fresh flounder, pan-seared and served over a bed of bell peppers, eggplant, and too-hot-to-touch red chiles in a subtle tamarind sauce. Bar.
