Szechuan Food at Thailand Cafe (Wait What?)

Yes, I live about 5 blocks from Chinatown in Boston. Yet, for some reason I dragged my friend all the way to Central Square to eat at a place called Thailand Cafe. Oddly enough, the actual Thai food is supposed to be terrible, but we were going for the Szechuan menu. We ordered Sichuan Pork Wontons with Chili Vinaigrette for appetizer. Other than the fact that they came out after the entrees, they were my favorite part of my meal. They were bite size wontons that were spicy with a hint of sweetness, and pretty much taking a bath in the vinaigrette, which was basically hot oil. Does that only sound good to me? We also got Chong Tsing Dry Hot Chicken and Peking Braised Eggplant. The Chicken entree was the closest I've come to Three Pepper Chicken, but it still didn't even come close. The eggplant was excellent. This place reminded me of some Philly faves (namely Han Dynasty and Szechuan Tasty House) and I'm glad I made the trip. I think I might be back, with a bigger group next time.
