Like the continent's topography, Asian cuisine is characterized both by its diversity of form and its abundance of friendly dragons. Delve into otherworldly eats with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of Thai cuisine and drinks at Desiam Thai Restaurant in Whitby.

With a menu of more than a hundred authentic Thai dishes, Desiam can tempt about any taste bud with its extensive selection of curry, rice, noodle, meat, and vegetarian dishes. For mouth arsonists and visiting Balrogs, 14 spicy entrees arrive ablaze with Desiam's secret, savoury spicy sauce—including the ginger beef ($11.99) and basil chicken ($10.99). Myriad milder options await patrons with tamer palates, such as Desiam's pad Thai ($8.99–$1.099), stir-fried with beans, sprouts, egg, and peanuts in a succulent tamarind sauce. In addition to painting a chili-paste smile on Toronto-area bellies, Desiam extends its devotion to Thai cooking onto the lunch trays of underprivileged Thai children through its magnanimous student lunch donation program.
