Will You Be Our Valentine?


     Hello, curry-lovers. As you know, Valentines' Day is just around the corner, and you might be scrambling to make plans and reservations. Have you considered ordering our fantastic curry? Ekamai offers take-out and delivery to make your Valentines' dinner easy and affordable.

      Why take-out, you ask? Think about it. Every couple in the city is going to be clamoring for service at restaurants across the Valley, flooding every dining room and lobby. It's noisy, crowded, and the service is slow. Doesn't sound very romantic to me! But if you order our delicious Thai food, you can have a quiet, close evening at home with your lover. No noise, no rush – no problem.

      This Tuesday, we'll be serving some great favorites, including:

Mussamun Curry Beef
Curry paste with coconut milk, potato, carrot, onion, & peanut

Yellow Curry Chicken
Curry paste with coconut milk, potato, carrot, & onion

Panang Curry Beef
Curry paste with coconut milk, zucchini, pea, bell pepper, & lime leaf

Pad Pa Ram
Steam mix vegetables served with peanut sauce

Pad Cashew Nut Beef
Stir fried beef with cashew nut, onion, green onion, mushroom carrot, & dry chilli

Sweet and Sour Chicken
Stir fried chicken w/ tomato paste, zucchini, pineapple, bell peper, carrot, corn,
tomato, & mushroom

     So give us a call at (801)-363-2717 and let us take care of you with a delicious Thai dinner that's sure to make your Valentines' Day a special one (candles and rose petals not included).


Valentines' Day in Thailand

      Did you know that Valentines' Day is also celebrated in Thailand? It's true! It is called วันวาเลนทน์ (“wan waa-len-taai”) and is a very popular celebration with the local lovebirds. Boys buy flowers and dolls for their sweethearts, and girls give chocolate and other small gifts. This celebration is not only for romantic couples – many give out tokens of appreciation to family and friends as a way of saying “I love you.” Shops and malls are decorated with balloons, stuffed animals, and flowers.

      One of the most interesting Valentine traditions in Thailand is getting married in the Bangkok district of Bang Rak, because “bang rak” can be translated to mean “area of love.” Newlyweds believe this is a very fitting beginning for their marriage. As early as 4 am, couples will start lining up outside the municipal office and wait their turn. As many as 1,500 couples will tie the knot in this way! It is no exaggeration to say that on February 14th, love is in the air over Thailand.

     Ekamai wishes you a happy Valentines' Day full of love and friendship. If you are looking for a great way to say “I love you,” stop by and order some of our delicious curry to take home. You can enjoy a quiet evening with the ones you love, eating food you will all enjoy. As the old saying goes, “The quickest way to the heart is through the stomach.” And luckily, you won't have to wait in line with 1,500 newlyweds to order some!
