Let your palate bloom and stay within budget at this easygoing, yummy Thai restaurant in University Heights. If you love spice, Plumeria delivers. Order spicy noodles with vegan duck and spicy basil rice to suit your taste. Kiddos need not fear spicy dragon mouth when they order. Their “chicken” satay is simply delicious and delicate, crispy flower cups are filled with a mix of curry-flavored potatoes, tofu, peas and carrots.
