Crying Tiger

All my life had been leading up to dinner last night (at smallish and excellent storefront Thai place Siam Pad Thai, here in the little town of D_____) when I actually got to say "Hmm...I'll have the Crying Tiger."

This amazing beef salad (actually better-looking than pictured here) was a paradigm crusher. Lime-y, spicy, bird chilis running rampant... and what a fantastic name - it's the traditional name of the dish, from looking on the World Wide Web.

I had already had some soup, so I have about 3/8ths left over for lunch today. Sorry about your luck.

Wanted to put a wiki entry here at the bottom for this, but there isn't one. Maybe it is my fate to write and submit one.
Wiki does say

Did you mean: crying time?

So now I look forward to the day when I am in some other (dark and snowy?) part of the world where I can look up to the sad-eyed waitress and say "Hmm...I'll have the Crying Time."
