Siam Society




Dinner on Friday night led the cow and I to NE Alberta. We have been wanting to try Siam Society since they opened last summer. Friday was the perfect evening because Adam Hurst an electro cello guru was playing in the bar.
The owners transformed an old power station into an industrial beauty of a restaurant. I like that they left the concrete walls and steel girders in place and simply added beautiful tables, an eye catching bar, some fabric for noise reduction and great lighting.
We arrived at about 8:30 and the place was packed - but we only had to wait (with a cocktail in hand) for about 10 minutes. The cow ordered a jalepeno/pear combo and when it arrived a woman waiting next to us asked him how it was. He offered her a drink and she gladly took the glass and had a sample. She didn't seem to impressed and said thanks and walked away.
The food was very good. We had the tranquil salad rolls for a starter and then shared the succulent tiger prawns and panang curry.
We enjoyed the music, food and drinks. It was a lovely way to end a busy week.
