Yes, we know Opal Thai moved out of its old food truck and into permanent new digs back in October. We’re just glad we finally got back there to check it out. Here’s our report.
Paalaa Kai Bakery (15 of 15)
What to eat after Opal's: You can have your shave ice. I'll crisp through these puff pastry layers like so many ultra-thin, buttery sheets and into the huge pocket of creamy custard within. The thick squiggle of chocolate piped on top adds a finishing depth.
If you go to the North Shore, stop by on your way back. If you go to the Waialua or Haleiwa bon dances, make an early pit stop. That is all. I'll leave you with this beauty shot.
If you missed M&M eats: North Shore, here’s the video and photo gallery.

I forgot to add a comment regarding the soup (and remember, I'm not into soup): We were blown away at the layers of flavor in the Tom Yum. Usually, the soup is just sour. That's it. This one is complex. There's sour, there's floral, there's savory, and ... oh, something else. But the different flavors release on your palate in layers with each spoonful. You actually kind of forget that you're eating (OK, well, drinking) and end up taking in the experience of the bowl.
