Obao

Obao is a new Thai restaurant that opened 2 weeks ago on the UES. It is a small, cozy restaurant with delicious authentic Thai dishes. The menu is small but everything looks yummy- the kind of place where you can't order wrong. We ordered the grilled chicken and spicy beef fried rice. Everything was fresh and delicously spicy and we finished every last bite. The chef gave us complimentary fried spring rolls to start which were crunchy little bites of heaven. The sauce was so good that we saved it for our main courses. Because the food had such a kick we asked for some sort of milk or smoothie and they came up with a jackfruit smoothie (that was also complimentary!) which we were fighting over down to the last sip. Everything was delicious and tasted so healthy. I can't wait to go back.

Plastic

I read in article in the NY Times last week about breast cancer and possible links to the plastic tupperware that we use. Go through your stash at home and throw away any with numbers 3,6, or 7 on the bottom (unless they say "BPA Free"). When they are put through the dishwasher or microwave, chemicals can leach out of the plastic. These chemicals are dangerous and have a possible connection to cancer. The safe ones are 1,2,4, and 5. Even though these are safer I would avoid putting any in the microwave.

Just a heads up!
