Chicken Pad Thai

Blogie — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:01:36 +0000

My brother brought me recently to this hole-in-the-wall joint (literally!) in Makati, just outside posh Rockwell, called Som’s Noodle House. I must say, the look of the place doesn’t do their food justice at all! We had their Pad Thai and their Curry Chicken — both were sumptuous and very filling. The owner is Thai, and all their offerings are authentic Thai cuisine, at very reasonable prices.

Som’s Noodle House is on Alger St., Makati City. On Kalayaan Ave., turn left right before the entrance to Rockwell.

Lobsters!

At the famous Ka Lui restaurant in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. The word lobsters just jumped out of the menu. We ordered half a kilo and chose it cooked in classic butter-garlic. Yum!

Deep-Fried Oysters

I love oysters! Raw, steamed, baked, broiled. A typical order is usually “Rockefeller”. But while in a Chinese restaurant in Kota Kinabalu, “deep fried oysters” called out to me on the menu. The batter was just right. Crunchy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside. Succulent!
