A couple weeks ago I had to head back up to San Francisco to do some work in our data center. After I was done, I took my wife to a Thai restaurant that Dave Lu introduced me to: Manora’s Thai Cuisine. The food there is excellent AND reasonably priced (around $10 a dish).

Por-Pia-Sod (rice paper rolls stuffed with crab, shrimp, pork sausage, pork, cucumber and mushroom, topped with sweet and sour tamarind sauce). Highly Recommended.

Soft shell crab - That evening’s special appetizer. If they’ve got it, I highly recommend it.

Makeur-Paad-Prik (Sauteed Japanese eggplant with prawns, chicken, and pork in spicy, basil garlic sauce ) - Recommended.

Kai-Yad-Sai (thai style omelette stuffed with crab, shrimp, and chicken in a mixture of Thai herbs) - If you like omelets, this is pretty good. I liked it, but I don’t think I’ll get it again since there are so many other incredible dishes to order.
