Mmm, this was very tasty! Having traveled through Thailand, I think I can say that this wasn’t authentic Thai food, but it certainly had a lot of flavor and was nicely prepared.

Svedka citron vodka, chambord, strawberry puree, prosecco. $9
Basil Thai Restaurant, Charleston SC
Ugh, this cocktail was way too sour. I thought the chambord and strawberry puree would mellow it out a little, but that wasn’t the case. I like the idea of the cocktail, but I don’t think it was executed properly. It looked beautiful though!
Cannon, Fort Moultrie. I really enjoyed walking the grounds of Fort Moultrie and seeing the large, heavy cannons and learning how the fort has been used through history.
Chicken, shrimp, and cream cheese, wonton wrapper. Served with sweet and sour sauce. $6.95
Basil Thai Restaurant, Charleston SC
How can you go wrong with hot, fried wontons filled with proteins and cream cheese?! You really can’t, hehe. This appetizer is perfect for sharing and definitely starts a dinner off on the right foot.

This cocktail had a great combination of sweet, tart, refreshing, and flavor. I love color in my cocktails and this one had a beautiful soft peach color.
Ripley Point Marina. I’m not sure if I’d stay on this side of the river on future visits, but it was good to try it.
