Somewhere I Go to Eat

Although it's not the most picturesque restaurant in the Poconos, Saen, the Thai restaurant is definitely one of the best! I love their Pahd Thai!

It was dreary and gray today- and a bit on the chilly side, so I gave the restaurant a "painting" treatment and added a blue sky on as a texture in iPiccy.

Cool shot

It's nice to capture our favorite places. I'm glad you shared it here with us.

[Nicole Campbell]

I do enjoy finding a good restaurant that constantly serves great food.

Love your editing! It's nice to see 'real' places from people's lives too, not jus the picturesque ones :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Great processing, Ann.

[Rick Schies]

One thing I have found to be true, the good places are not always the best looking

When the food speaks for itself who needs a fancy place. love your editing here, Ann.

[Carole Imes]

Really good processing, Ann! Picture perfect!

@sangwann Thanks Dione!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick!
@bruni Thanks Bruni!
@cimes1 Thanks Carole!

Thank you to one and all! It's true as most of you said, the outside of a place does not always match the wonders inside on the plates! And that's the case here- although, the inside decor is quite beautiful. The owner and chef is from Thailand and still travels there. He has brought back some amazing artwork from the country- my favorites being the table tops carved from corkwood- 3D with glass over top. You don't know whether to eat the food or stare at the carving!

Always nice to find a good, consistent place to eat.

[Laura]

Love the colours.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@la_photographic Thank you Laura!

[Bev]

I love the simplicity of the architecture. It makes it very quaint. Nice shot. Well done.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@prttblues Thanks Bev! It's actually not a very attractive building. Cut out of this shot is the rest of the building which houses a post office, pizzeria and dentist. Also, thanks to the wonders of processing, it is slightly more colorful than you'd think. The colors are somewhat drab, but because I warmed them up and then added the blue sky, they look much nicer.

[Nada A.]

Pad Thai....Yum.

I like your crop on this.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@nadaa Thanks Nada! Oh yes- that is what I always get! This is the end of the building which houses the restaurant, so I left everything else off.

Thai food is so good. i discovered a really nice little Thai restauran last year

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian! All these comments are making me hungry to go there!!

[summerfield]

nice to know you are a tad adventurous with food. i love thai and vietnamese food, but lately i'm going for curried foods. i rather like the way you processed this, looks norman rockwell-ish to me. i like it.

@summerfield What do you know, I just discovered this comment! I think this was the artistic painting effect in iPiccy. But it's been so long I can't really remember!
