Moving beyond Pad Thai
Silapaahaan.com had great ambitions when it launched a couple of years ago: it "intended to be a repository of of information on ... Thai cuisine, with a distinct emphasis on ... Chicago." The site got off to a great start, and remains a useful source for Thai food fans looking for translations of their favorite restaurant's menu (assuming it's one of the six listed), or pictures of some common -- and not-so-common -- dishes, for those interested in venturing past the Traditional Favorites section but are wary of what they'll get.
The site's introduction claims more will be coming soon, including basic menu terms, pronunciations, recpies and photo-illustrated cooking demostrations. It's unclear how long ago that was written, but here's hoping the (anonymous) proprietor comes through on that promise; with the surfeit of Thai Restaurants in this city, there's clearly an audience for it.
