So what's with the name Ka-Prow? We get this question quite often. I know when I first heard the name, visions were conjured up of comic book characters with their infamous words used to describe the fights between super heroes and villains. BAM! BOOM! KA PROW! Fortunately, I was wrong, so for all of those inquiring minds out there who want to know, here is the real story.

A couple of weeks ago, Ka-Prow Bistro was featured on KVUE with local food enthusiast Rob Balon! KVUE has graciously provided a video clip of his visit, so if you missed it, here it is.

Rob wonderfully articulates why he loves some of his favorites, including the light and crispy lettuce wraps, the stir fried Pad Prik King, and the bold and dynamic Red Curry. To see more of what Rob loves, watch the video clip below! Take a look around and feel free to tell us about your favorite Ka-Prow meal!

As I sit here in my favorite pan-Asian bistro, my mouth begins to water just thinking of the many possibilities. Ah, the anticipation! Should I order one of the Thai curries with its luscious addition of coconut milk and desired spiciness that is just as thrilling as it is delicious, or maybe I'll order pad thai with its splash of sour, hint of sweet and a touch of salty? All of these flavors encompass what I love about Thai food, but I wonder, has it always been this amazing?

According to Chef Opart, the flavors loved and savored by fans of Thai food were not always around. Before there was the spice trade and occupying influx of immigrants, Thai food was actually quite simple.
