Thailand knows a thing or two about hot, humid weather—which is exactly why Pad Thai was made for days like this. Bright, tangy and full of flavor, it’s always a good choice when the temperature rises.

A special Saffron visit with two familiar faces. Su-Mei stopped in with her daughter Angela before seeing her off back home to New York.

Angela practically grew up at Saffron, so whenever she’s back in San Diego, she makes sure to get her fill of the food and flavors she grew up with before heading home. We loved having them both back together at Saffron!
