Mango Tree BGC

We haven't been to BGC for ages since its really far from our place but during those times that we did, there's always a nice discovery.

And its Mango Tree this time where I had a sumptuous lunch with old and new friends.

Yum Som O or Pomelo Salad. This is a staple in Thai restos. Very good! The pomelo was juicy, the shrimp and dressing was well blended so the burst of flavors is not hard to miss. I won't tire of eating this all day.

Nua Phad Gra Pow (L). A spicy beef dish with basil and chili peppers. Phad Thai (R). Another well-known Thai dish made with rice noodles and scallions and beansprouts. I love both, I don't know why. ;)

Talai Phad Prik Thai Dum (L). Its mixed seafood with capsicum and black pepper sauce. Phad Phak Bung Fai Daeng (R) or stir-fried morning glory (kangkong), with garlic sauce, chilies and soy bean sauce. Had several helping of the seafood but skipped the veggies. Hehe

Chicken (L). Po Pia Goong (R). Deep fried spring rolls served with chili sauce. I think I skipped these two dishes also. Blame the beef and seafood dish. ;)

Sakoo Nam Ka-ti. Sago (tapioca) with coconut cream. L-o-v-e.

Sen Lek Thai Noodles

This is one of the best resto discovery this January (so far).

While cruising President Avenue in BF Paranaque, C spotted Dong Juan, which she excitedly says was originally from Cebu. We would've eaten there but I said that since she already had an idea on what the food tastes like (with happy food memories, too), I sugessted we eat in a "new" restaurant so that we can rave or rant about it later on. Besides, both of us know that BF Paranaque is famous for its numerous restaurants. Initially, I was trying to recall the name of a Japanese resto that I've read in another blog but all I remember was Aguirre Avenue. And we saw the street (avenue) alright but we didn't see any Japanese-looking restaurant and we were already at the park/playground. Or maybe we made a wrong turn somewhere. And because we were famished, we decided to head back to an Italian resto that we saw earlier along President Avenue. Then we saw Dong Juan again and beside it was Sen Lek Thai Noodles. Hmmm ... looks interesting. And with herbs and spices for good health, too! Nah, we're not heath-food buffs. Just your regular foodies. ;)

Thai Food At Robinsons Magnolia

On our recent trip to Robinsons Magnolia, we saw this newly opened Thai Resto at the Foodcourt Level of the mall. This was near Gong Cha so its not really hard to miss. The decoration or overall look of the restaurant is just too minimalist. They can still do something to make the place livelier and happier.
