After savoring healthy and delicious Vietnamese food in our recent Saigon (now: Ho Chi Minh City) getaway, we decided to check out another superb Asian cuisine - Thai food! While writing this post, I suddenly have this crazy craving to find the most delish bánh xèo (Vietnamese pancake) in Manila. But for now, let's go Thai at Jatujak. The resto name is quite catchy; it refers to the largest market in Thailand.
Very round spoon eh?
Thai iced tea (Php 78 each)
I must admit that their iced tea was superb. It's certainly not powdered ice tea mix that you blend with water but it was real tea with milk. It totally reminded me of my favorite nai cha or the Hong Kong-style milk tea.
Pla Mug Kratiem Prig Thai (Php 220) ~ squid with cilantro, garlic and pepper
The waiter told us that the dishes are good for sharing, so we didn't bother ordering more. Perfect for budget-conscious people like us. The squid dish was rich in flavor and not overcooked. Perfect with the fried rice below.
Kao Pad Ruamit (Php 155) ~ fried rice with chicken, pork and shrimps
Their generous serving of fried rice can feed three people, thus we carbo-loaded that night. Whew.
Since I'm not in the mood for sticky rice dessert, we capped off our delicious dinner with yummy choco moist from SM Supermarket. I have grown to love chocolate cake as a dessert and I discovered this affordable but yummy chocolate cake a few months ago at the grocery area. Last week, this was only priced at Php 69 so I was surprised when I saw this! A five-peso increase in a week? Oh c'mon!
Choco moist (Php 74) at SM Supermarket bread section
Affordable, perfect for sharing, moist and not cloyingly sweet.
Grapes and orange wedges (with rock salt please)
Inspired by the healthy lifestyle of the Vietnamese, I munched on fruits when I got home. Burp! I love love love Friday food trips!
