Ordering Pad Thai @ All Thai'd Up in Columbus, Texas





All Thai'd Up is located in an
old Gas Station on the corner











Outdoor dining beneath
the awning
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Eric orders our Take Out
Lunches.








 
He chose Chicken & Tofu
Pad Thai, Spicy

I chose Chicken Pad Thai,
Mild









All Thai'd Up makes a very good Pad Thai.  Every Thai Restaurant has its own recipe.

We were hungry when we returned to the motorhome and started our lunches before I could take pictures.





I remembered to take this
 picture right before I
 reheated my leftovers.







Thai Food served at an old Gas Station...  I'm happy to see older buildings being repurposed as the needs of a community change.
