On Wednesday November 3rd, I attended the 2nd Anniversary party at Charm Modern Thai in Yaletown. The wine and cocktails were flowing all night long, as soon as the tasty Thai food arrived to the table it was devoured within minutes, the chefs were busy keeping up to their hungry guests. DJ Skilla was mixing up loud music all night long, keeping guests entertained.
