Downtown Orlando Dining:  Napasorn Thai Restaurant

What are you in the mood for?

When it comes to downtown Orlando dining, Napasorn is must do.  Quaint, accommodating, and most importantly delicious.  At some point in my life “good” food became more important to me than just simple nourishment.  As I began to really appreciate a well prepared meal, dining out became more of a desirable experience, which meant that fast food was no longer a feasible option to satisfy my appetite.  I suppose as we grow so do our taste in the things we choose to indulge, but don’t get me wrong, sometimes a fat juicy burger is just what I need.

If you’re anything like me deciding what I’m in the mood for can lead to an overwhelming hunger and poor decision making.  After a day of critical thinking all you want to do… is less.  There should be an App for that.  The “Leave Your Worries to Us” App.  Just fill out your personal profile and enter.  Based on your personal preferences and current location we recommend “whatever”.  How’s that for an easy button.  If you know of something like that send me a link.  In the meantime, I hope this will at least give you a preferred downtown Orlando dining option whenever you’re in Central Florida.

Napasorn Thai Restaurant is located in the heart of downtown Orlando on Pine street right next to The Plaza Cinema Cafe´.  Even though this was not my first visit to Napasorn, I was formally reintroduced to the menu and few items I hadn’t tried.  First off the raspberry saki is great.  If you’re a fan of Moscato you’ll love this!  It’s sweet and bursting with flavor and is one of Napasorn’s signature items.  So you’ll have to pay them a visit to experience this since it’s the only place you’ll find this blend.  I must admit I did overindulge my sweet tooth on this visit.  I found it difficult to ignore the oohs and aahs coming from lunch companion as she enjoyed the cream rolls dipped in a sweet pineapple sauce.  After one a taste it claimed a firm position on my list of favorite things.  For a main course I sampled the pad thai with chicken, hot.  And if you’ve never had Thai food before, be warned there is a significant difference between hot and Thai hot.  This is a dish that i’ve had before so it would take a little more to wow me, though I still found it quite good.  Unfortunately, I was short on time and had to cut my visit short, but I expect to return with friends.  This time I’d like to try the peanut curry, one of my favorite Thai dishes, and see how it fares.  If you make there before me though, let me know what you think.
