If you get back there, I can decidedly recommend a pair of complementary
and adjacent Thai restaurants called Saladang.  (If I recall, Meg doesn't
do Thai, so you wouldn't get that recommendation from her.)  One is more
traditional, the other more inventive.  I've been to each just once, with
the former ranking among the best Thai restaurants I've been to.  The second
place (which I visited for a large-group dinner) also had many good things.
