Hello 2012! From What’s Good at Trader Joe’s
“an easy, inexpensive lunch option.
There’s these two new True Thai Vegetable Curry options – Panang and Green. They’re similar enough I’ll tackle ’em both here (the panang is the one with all the pics). They’re both easy to grab in a rush, cheap ($1.99 each), and both can remain in your manbag or desk drawer to keep lunch thieves away. Yes, I’m still bitter about that. For both, the curry sauce is the real star – the panang is a little spicier than the mellower green – but have rich coconut milk undertones with the usual Thai spicy suspects. Dee-lish. Both have about the same veggies in them – carrots, little babycorn buttons, cauliflower, etc, which are all kind of mushy.
Not the biggest fan, although the green curry adds crunchier bamboo sticks, which make me feel like a happy chubby lil’ panda gnawing away on them. Each are pretty decent with a little rice to mix in (as pictured) and zap up within a few minutes in the microwave. I suppose that, like the package says, one could mix in a little meat and they’d be good (the sauce is pretty darn good) but to me, that’s not necessary to enjoy these. All in all, not a bad deal.”
