We passed by Cornwall on the way home from Montreal. My boyfriend remember distinctively about this amazing Thai restaurant during his training in Cornwall. And of course, we went there for dinner that night.
When we arrived at Thum's Kitchen Thai Cuisine, there were no parking spots left, and we had to park in the plaza across the street from it. I was surprised by the amount of people that were in the restaurant, since during the ride to the restaurant, there were no more than ten cars driving in the city. Anyways, thankfully, we only waited for 15 minutes for our table.
The owner of Thum's had put a lot of effort on the theme of the restaurant. The whole place was filled with decorations that resembles Thailand, such as bamboo mats and blinds, Buddhas, pineapples, flowers, and temples. My favourite decorations of all was the elephant on their menu. It is very classic and it adds a little touch to their menu.
Besides the Thai decorations, all the servers were wearing pink traditional Thai dresses, which brings the theme of the restaurant to a whole new level.
Thum's offers four levels of spiciness to their dishes.
Level 1 - Mild
Level 2 - Regular
Level 3 - Very Spicy
Level 4 - Deadly
My crazy boyfriend went ahead and ordered level 3 spicy with his Pad Kee Mow - fried rice noodles with chicken or beef and chili, basil leaves, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, onions, and green beans. Needless to say, it was the spiciest noodles he ever had in his life. He went through couple glasses of cold water throughout the meal. And we don't want to know what happened in the washroom that night...
As for me, I ordered Gang Garee Gai - Yellow Curry with Chicken and Potato with rice. Knowing that Thai has a higher toleration of spiciness, I only ordered level 1 spicy for my Curry. And thank God I made the right decision, as the Curry turned out to be spicy enough already. Anyhow, I really liked their Curry, it is the best Curry I had in Canada. A very strong flavour of coconut, which also brings out the sweetness and spiciness of the Curry. It has a creamy texture, perfect for eating with rice. I am SALIVATING people!! =9
