A classmate told me to try Thai Me Up, which is a Thai restaurant. We decided to stop there if we see it but head to LimKetKai anyway if we don't.
Luckily we did. :D But when we paid the fare of PhP5 each, the money-eyeing conductor charged us another PhP5 each which we did anyway because we were famished. We didn't even mind the waitresses in the restaurant as they greet us "Sawasdee" upon our entrance.
We ordered Bagoong Fried Rice, Pork Spare Ribs with Sweet and Spicy Sauce and Sauteed Pork Curry with Kangkong and Crushed Peanuts. We ordered their Bottomless Lemon Grass Iced Tea after we sampled it from a shotglass courtesy of the waiter. :)
The servings were HUGE and I mean really HUGE. I am used to the rice being good for 2-3 people but theirs were good for 5-6! I should have asked before I ordered...
Their rice was good. I like fried rice with toppings on it. In this case, it was scrambled egg, pork and green mango.
Their spare ribs is the best! There was enough meat on it unlike the other restaurants. It was not that spicy and not that sweet. Just the right taste. It wasn't tough too.
Their Pork Curry disappointed me because it was far from what the pictures in their menu cried out. In the picture, there was lots of pork and a few kangkong (water spinach) but in reality, there was a lot of kangkong (and I mean LOTS) and a few pieces of pork. :(
The Lemon Grass Iced Tea, however, was richer compared to some Thai Restaurants.
The waiters and waitresses were attentive enough to refill your glass even before you drowned it. Service was quite fast but maybe because it was because we were the only customers at that time. The manager (I assume) was playing a game like Diner Dash on her laptop 3 tables away from us. There were a lot of interesting Thai decorations, which makes for very good subjects for photography. The restrooms were clean and had a tiny piece of the forest in it (like moss on a rock). There were flies but they can be avoided by having pieces of lit candle on your table. We ordered Chili Choco Lava and Crunchy Chestnut for dessert but we ended cancelling it because
we were really full.
After settling the bill, we boarded a "rela" to an internet cafe because my friend had to print something. Unluckily, the power went out so we boarded a taxi to LimKetKai.
