Enter the restaurant and you’ll find a sleek bamboo theme that extends from the bar to the booths. Colorful pillows in the booths add to the cool and comfortable atmosphere here. Come hungry, because Madame Mam’s offers an array of authentic appetizers, noodle dishes, slow-cooked curries, rice entrees, and desserts.

For an intricate snack, try the mieng kum, an appetizer of fresh lettuce topped with fried shrimp, fresh ginger chunks, roasted coconut, peanuts, fresh lime, shallots and Thai chili. Or stick to the basics with spring rolls and Thai-style chicken wings. For dinner, try the masman beef curry or popular pad Thai. Sensitive diners should pay close attention to the menu since it denotes spicy dishes, vegetarian entrees, and gluten-free options.

Mam’s welcomes diners daily from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. Don’t feel like dining out? Pick-up takeout on your drive home to Sendera Barton Creek instead.

Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day
Merriam-Webster is one of the most reliable sources of vocabulary knowledge, and the popular dictionary’s website offers a fascinating Word of the Day feature as well.
