Put the Love in the coconut~

I decided to post this because Sala Thai (it is two words on their menus) wasn't listed on Chow, but I see it is listed as one word, which I'm fairly sure is wrong, so folks may not find it. But anyway...

Terrific restaurant. I went there for lunch the other day, and again for takeout two days later. Among my favorites were the fresh coconut juice, the red chicken curry and the sweet sticky rice with mango.

If you're interested you can read the full review of this delightful little family restaurant (with loads of great pics) on my blog, which can be found at

Is the fresh coconut juice served in the shell? And if so, will they crack the coconut so you can scoop out the flesh?

Thanks for your reports!

[mzscahlett]

It is served in the shell. I did not ask if they would crack it, but I think I read somewhere that the flesh isn't as good when the coconut is that young. I could be wrong. I'll ask when I'm there next and let you know!

You should try it next time. The flesh usually has a nice custardy texture to it when young.

So you can eat the young ones? I will def give that a try next time we are in. I love the sticky rice with mango too, so maybe I'll make a sweet meal of it!

[adrienne156]

Definitely. It's very good for you as well. Do some googling. :o)
