Basil Garden – Palm City offers a delightful array of Thai-inspired dishes that cater to every taste, and it's clear from the moment you glance at the menu that this is a spot for both traditional flavors and unique twists. As a reviewer, I found it hard to resist starting with their appetizers. The Satay is a standout, with its juicy, perfectly grilled skewers and a rich peanut dipping sauce. For something with a bit more heat, the Steamed Mussels in Thai Spices provide a flavorful punch, while the Shrimp in the Blanket is a crispy, indulgent treat that packs just the right amount of savory goodness. If you're in the mood for something lighter, the Mee Krob and Fried Chicken Wings are an irresistible choice.
The soups here are equally impressive. The Chicken and Rice Soup is comfort in a bowl, with tender chicken and fragrant rice that fill you up without being too heavy. For something bolder, the Tom Yum Soup with Chicken delivers that perfect balance of spicy and sour, with the rich flavors of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves.
As for the salads, the Chicken Namsod Salad offers a refreshing and aromatic mix, while the Shrimp Salad and Squid Salad bring the perfect combination of texture and tang. Their Green Salad is a great side, light yet full of flavor.
For the main courses, the curries are not to be missed. From the creamy Green Curry to the spicy Red Curry, every bite is a burst of flavor. The Mas-Sa-Man Curry and Panang Curry offer a delightful sweetness, balancing perfectly with the heat. And don't overlook the noodle dishes – the Pad Thai Noodles and Pad See Ew are expertly prepared, each offering a unique blend of savory and umami flavors.
For lunch, the menu keeps up the quality, offering the same rich variety of dishes, with favorites like Pad Thai and Khee Mao standing out. You can end your meal with a sweet treat like the Fried Ice Cream or Tempura Cheesecake.
