The ability to differentiate between red and green curry is the mark of a good Thai chef and a common tell among children faking colorblindness to skip school. Test your rods and cones with this Groupon.

$15 for $30 Worth of Thai Fare

Chefs sling thai barbecue chicken with sticky rice and plum sauce ($17.95), pineapple red curry with pork ($15.95), and pad thai with tofu ($13.95).

Mekala's

Chef Bupar acquired her culinary prowess alongside her mother, who operated a street-side café in Bangkok for more than 20 years. Today, she draws on recipes she learned from her mother to conjure up the bustling, spice-tinged air of the city of her youth. The traditional Thai flavors of ginger, lemongrass, and garlic flood dishes and thick coconut milk helps lower the potency of red chilies in a range of curries to a pleasant warmth. Beneath the eatery’s saffron-hued walls and decorative greenery, bouquets of basil, cilantro, and fresh sprouts bestow portions of noodles and rice with textural variety. Diners can sit outdoors if the weather and 80-foot sentient dragon statue permits, or enjoy after-dinner entertainment at the nearby Matthew Knight Arena. Downstairs in The Underground Lounge, diners can feast on the main restaurant’s full menu in a more casual atmosphere adorned with pool tables, HDTVs, and dartboards.

The Groupon Guide to: Billiards Variations

Most casual pool players are familiar with some version of eight ball, where stripes and solids compete to clear their own balls off the table before sinking the eight. However, this is just one of hundreds of ways to “play pool.” What are others?

  • Snooker
  • Snorker
  • No-Pocket Bounce’about
  • Stripes vs. Skins
  • Cowboy Pool (played on horseback)
  • Nothin’ but Fours
  • Gunpool (no cues; you shoot the balls into the pockets with guns)
  • Texas No-Ball
  • Love-Style (winner marries loser)

If you lose to someone at pool, are you legally required to marry them?
