It should be tasty and good to eat, as I am hoing on a date. I have never tried Thai food before this.
If you like spicy food, try the Panang Curry chicken. It's wonderful with chicken and veggies in a curry sauce over rice. You can request it mild to hot based on what you would prefer, but if it is your first time, don't get more than medium because Thai food is hot! (Any chicken and vegetable stir-fry dish is good too.)
If you don't like spicy or don't want your eyes watering on your date, try Pad Thai. It's a delicious noodle dish with chicken and some veggies in a mild, semi-sweet peanut sauce. It's a very popular dish, and as long as you like peanuts, you will love it.
If you want a starter, get a green salad or house salad. It usually has cucumbers and a peanut dressing. Chicken satay is great, but you need to eat the chicken on skewers with your hands (and possibly need a toothpick). Dumplings are also very good.
Enjoy your food - and your date!
I love green curries or anything Thai restaurants do with basil! My favorite Thai dish ever was green curry ostrich with lychee in a coconut shell bowl at a place in Vancouver. Then I came home, craved green curry ostrich, and had no place to buy it!
Many Thai restaurants will ask how spicy you want your food. Sometimes, I say, "White-person hot." The waitress usually nods and says, "Medium." It's a stereotype, though. My Filipino-Japanese-Hawaiian friend can't handle anything spicier than a Thai "mild".
Whatever you order, get an order of sticky rice, too.
Here,I also give U the recipes
Chicken Satay
Ingredients
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon fish sauce
Small amount of oil or coconut milk
Fresh coriander leaves
Lettuce leaves
Procedure
Slice chicken breasts into thin slices lengthwise. Each slice should be about 4 inches by 1 inch by ¼ inch. (Optional: place chicken in freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to make it easier to slice.) Place the chicken strips in a mixing bowl.
Add remaining ingredients, first the solids, then the liquids, to the bowl. Toss until well mixed.
Let the chicken marinate (absorb the flavoring) in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and as long as 24 hours.
When ready to cook the satay, stir the chicken in the sauce and remove.
Thread each slice onto a skewer, pushing the skewer in and out down the middle of the slice.
Baste (rub) the chicken with oil or coconut milk and grill on a barbecue or under the broiler.
Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, watching carefully and turning to keep the chicken from burning.
Baste once more with oil or coconut milk. The satay is done when it's golden brown and crispy along the edges. Serve with optional garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serves 8.
Cucumber Salad
Ingredients
1 long cucumber
½ small red onion
â…" medium red pepper
1 Tablespoon sugar
Vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
Fresh coriander leaves
Procedure
Wash and dry the cucumber, and peel it if desired.
Cut in half lengthwise and then into quarters.
Slice the quarters into ¼-inch pieces and arrange on a plate.
Slice the red pepper and onion into thin strips. Scatter them over the cucumber.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, vinegar, and salt.
Pour dressing over the vegetables and top with the coriander leaves.
Serves 4 to 6.
Many Thai dishes are very good but for a date? (something that's not too spicy is a good idea. I personal think curry doesn't sound good with it) Hmm how about Pad Thai noodle? One of the best known noodle dishes. It's very popular in Asia & in most country.
It's yum and it's just perfect for a date. I'd love it if one day my babe surprised me by making me some Pad Thai haha lol =P Plus it's just simple & so easy to make. I think you would like it.
To make it easy for understanding of how to cook Pad Thai, watch this video & it will explain to you all.

2-3 cups phat (pad) Thai noodle (soaked in warm water 3-5 minutes)
1/4 lb raw shrimps/pork/chicken or beef
1 tbsp garlic (minced)
1 tbsp shallot (sliced)
2 green onion (slice into 1 inch)
1 cup bean sprouts
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp vinegar or tamarind sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp dark soy
1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
DIRECTION: well, just watch the video.It not that hard to make....Enjoy!!
The stuffs to make Pad Thai it's available in most Asian supermarket.
Hope I help! =) Have a great time with your date.
PS. you can add tofu if you like (1/2 cup baked or fired tofu cut into small strips)
And oh shrimp is the best for Pad Thai noodles
PPS.
If you really like curry stuff.
Try "Khao Soi" (This is a noodle dish, prepared in a rice creamy curry sauce, that is traditional in Northern Thailand. A popular lunchtime meal in northern Thailand. The flavor is not only distinctly "Thai" but it also goes very well with the American palate.)
