The Toothpick Course


For our last night in Thailand, Erik and I decided to splurge and have a nice romantic dinner at one of the nicer restaurants on our beach. The outdoor patio seating overlooked the beautiful Kata beach which was lit up with candle lanterns at night. The cuisine was more Western than Thai, though it all had a fusion feel, and it was all excellent. We had three courses, a starter, mains, and then when we thought the meal was done, our servers re-appeared, and with a dramatic arm gesture laid on our table an fancy box full of toothpicks just for us. Now, I should note that most restaurants we ate at in Thailand had toothpicks on the table along with the salt and pepper, but this is the first time toothpicks were given an entire course of their own.
