Green Mango Salad with Soft-shell Crab (P310+)

The soft-shell crab doesn’t look very enticing but once you’ve tasted it, you’ll be wanting more!  I did!  But f course, I have to contain myself because I’m not the only one who loved it!  Nice to pair it with the green mango salad but I prefer to have it alone or with rice because of the crab fat hidden inside the shell…made me want to get some more.  It was definitely a soft-shell crab!  No sharp edges to stop you from munching the crab.  Yummy till the end and wanting it to have a continuous supply on our plate.  Too deadly.

Calamari with Crispy Garlic Chili (P285+)

Best to eat it while it’s hot.  AD made it a point to get the plate and place it in fromt of him.  It’s his and you can only have a piece if you ask permission from him.  Don’t worry, he’ll share.

Stir-Fried Chicken with Chili and Basil (P280+)

Silly me.  I thought it was ground pork but obviously, it was not.  That’s what happens to me when I’m hungry and eat in a hurry.  I do not really “taste” the food.  All I care is to have food in my tummy and be full (which usually happens to me).  As long as the taste is ok, I eat it.  It is only after or even not at all that I really dissect the food ingredients to the end.  hahaha

This dish is too hot for me to take but I like it (minus the hot~ness).  I cannot take spoonfuls of the chicken continuously or else, I’ll burn.  HB loves this.  He loves hot stuff.

Red Lamb Curry with Peanut (P450+) with Rice (add P50+).

We got ours in a cold state. We had to return and let them re-heat the meat.  Actually, I expected them to change it because it was their fault that they didn’t time the heating properly.  They even “forgot” to beautify the dish when they re-heated it.

For HB, the sauce was a meal by itself.   Again, he loved this one!

Traditional Stir-Fried Rice Noodles with Prawns (Pad Thai) (P420+)

The pad thai taste good.  Sweet

Tom Yum Prawn (P310+)

Oh la la!  Another expensive soup we have here!  So, I make sure I do not waste a drop of the soup nor leave any edible stuff in the bowl.  Trying to justify its price upon seeing it…2 pieces of shrimps, slices of coconut meat (I thought it was squid), oyster mushroom and what?  Imported herbs?  But to be fair, it tasted what we expected it to be….sinigang version of the Thai people.

Cocounut Sundae ala Thai Style (P175+)

Ngek….ice cream with coconut meat.  Wish they could’ve been more innovative.

Mango with Sticky Rice (P195+)

Sticky rice with mango slices.  One slice for AD, one for Momma, for Poppa (aka AD) and for Ninang M.  That’s all folks!
