Cashew Nut Chicken from Thai time on Highland Street in Worcester, MA

First stop 2015 for the Foodies group was Thai Time, located on Highland Street.

This quaint, family owned and operated restaurant is a perfect little venue for some authentic Thai food and I should mention is BYOB.

I have been to Thai Time several times, and each time I have had a great meal. Typically, I always order the Thai Time Lad-Nar. Such a delicious dish; chicken, vegetables, and egg in a light brown sauce, highly recommend. However, since I was just finishing a New Year Resolution of a body detox, I had to keep it light.
To start we ordered some Edamame, always a favorite healthy snack. For my meal, I ordered the Cashew Nut Chicken – Pineapple, bamboo shoots, carrots, onion, green peppers, mushrooms, and cashew nuts. The meal came with a side of white rice; the dish was spicy, but not overly. I would say one star on the spice scale. I thought the meal came with the perfect serving of chicken and ample vegetables. The flavor was excellent; a Thai based blend of spices in a light sauce, not too heavy and full of flavor with some spice. For my beverage (recall detox = sans alcohol) I ordered the Thai Iced Tea; this is brewed tea with coconut milk, so tasty, a bit sweet yet very good.

I will certainly be back to Thai Time. Give it a try!
