Trying to make the process as speedy as possible I asked for a recommendation, and my waiter mentioned the version of curry he thought would be best (several kinds are available, and unfortunately I do not remember what they were). A straight curry dish would not normally be my choice since I prefer the complex flavors of dishes such as ginger tofu, tom yum, stir-fried vegetables with basil, etc. Another part of my reluctance at the time was the fact that I was using the curry at Koong Thong in Auburn as a benchmark, and very few other restaurants seemed to live up to this standard, nor did Koong Thong seem to be as good as I remembered from a few years ago. Still, curry is a classic Thai dish and when done right is very enjoyable.

The Curry at Moragote, however, was excellent. Ordered with tofu, It was spicy at a level that I would call about a 3 out of 4, and had a rich flavor. I make it a practice to base my score on the best dish a restaurant serves consistently. Since I cannot make such a evaluation of Moragote, I can say that following the server's suggestion seemed to be a good test, and I was quite happy with the result..
