    Mama Noi knows her way around the kitchen

    I joined my friend, Vic, there (finally) after she had raved about this place a number of times. I was a bit skeptical about the place. As a former GO Train commuter, I have seen many former dining establishments (none noteworthy) come and go in that location, the plaza next to GO. But Vic knows her food and good value for it and I was hungry for some real Thai food. She was right again - great authentic food at very reasonable prices and even better it's a small, family run restaurant. As a local, I think it's important to support our mom and pop shops, as they generally are in it for the love of it and work very hard, long days to please and keep their customers. This is the case at Hot Mama Noi's. When Mama came out of the kitchen to see how we were and if we liked the meal - she was sweating after a marathon lunch time cookathon. While there we talked to a regular, who gave us some suggestions for future meals. My initial impression upon entering was trying to identify that wonderful smell coming from the kitchen and wondering if I would order that. It's a small place with very basic no nonsense clean decor, so you know people come here for the food, as if my nose didn't already tell my brain that! After the initial inhalation is processed my brain starts working again after imaging what Mama is cooking up for whoever got there before me - and I stop drooling! It did not take us long to decide to share an order of Veggie Spring Rolls (most likely they will become a regular at each meal, unless in future visits, I find something I like more for an appetizer). I really enjoyed my Beef Penang, although I make it a little less spicy for my home taste. I love the taste of real Thai Basil and very few restaurants go to the effort of using it, but instead use the more available Basil one uses in Italian dishes - good, but not good enough once you taste and cook with real Thai Basil. Not Mama Noi - her Thai Basil was so fresh in this dish, I meant to check out back to see if she has a garden plot and grows her own. Vic ordered a meal sized soup to go with her Spring Rolls and although it was delicious (of course, I tried some, just can't remember the name), she just could not finish all of it. No problem, they packed her leftovers up for her lunch the next day. Although we both love our desserts, we were so full, we didn't even think of anything for afters. All in all, it was a great experience and I will be going back to try more once Mama returns from her visit to Thailand. I wish Mama much success and if you love real Thai food at reasonable prices, do head over.
