24/01/12 - Chang's Bistro, Mandalay Avenue, Clearwater Beach

Fancied some noodles tonight and opted for our first ever visit to Chang’s Thai and Sushi Bistro. They also do breakfasts, which, by the sound of it, are very good. Would seem strange to me having pancakes and toast in an oriental restaurant though.

We ordered some spring rolls to start with then Pork & vegetables for me, a spicy chicken thing for K and  Pad Thai noodles to share. They actually ask you what level of spicyness you would like your food using a scale of 1-10. Which is nice. The service was a bit irritating. It was a Tuesday night with only 2 other tables occupied and I felt the waitress was breathing down our necks a bit.  A plus point was that our Kirin Ichiban beers came with frosted glasses which is always a nice touch.

Our mains each came with a timbale of boring white rice which I just left – I much prefer noodles as an accompaniment to oriental food. The meal was OK but the Pad Thai noodles were a wee bit slimy. I would go back and maybe try their breakfasts. They have a sushi bar too but that doesn’t really ring my bell.
