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 today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of authentic Thai fare at Siam Thai Food in Temecula.

Siam Thai Food's culinary masterminds dice fresh ingredients to create authentic Thai cuisine for lunch and dinner from their convenient location across from the Promenade Temecula. An appetizer of fresh rolls ($3.25) high-fives taste buds with ground chicken, veggies, and a giant foam hand, and deep-fried breaded shrimp ($4.50) show off doggy paddles in a kiddie pool of sweet-and-sour sauce. Foodies can forage through a lengthy list of rice and noodles and entrees before outfitting the spicy noodles ($7.50) or coconut-milk-blended panang curry ($8.50+) with one of seven meat options, including chicken, beef, tofu, and shrimp. Diners can dive tongue-first into the specialty platter of salmon with tamarind ($15.50), a whole, deep-fried fillet that doles out a healthy portion of omega-3 and confirms the age-old rumor that pink fish is made of cotton candy. Siam Thai Food's attentive staff will also gladly assist meat-free patrons in vegetarianizing a variety of their dishes.

Inside the restaurant, patrons settle into the intimate dining room, enclosed by hardwood flooring and multicolored wall tiles. Fabric-covered booths and plush chairs invite backsides to rest, and hands, mouths, and proboscises practice their synchronized eating routines.
