Thai Bistro: Authentic Thai Experience

Wazzup Pilipinas! 

There's a new hub to check out! Thai Bistro was opened August 13, 2012. It is proud to offer authentic Thai cuisines and have always aimed to prepare superior and enjoyable dining experience. Thai Bistro offers a full menu of mouthwatering specialties to choose from.  The owner of the restaurant, Ms. Cecille Chang, has trained under the supervision of a chef of the Royal family and she made sure that all her cooks and personnel can deliver each dish with the highest quality standard.


Thai Bistro provides a healthy alternative to the traditional Filipino diet. The restaurant is using fresh ingredients that are quickly cooked in order to preserve their nutrients and delicate flavors. It is a common knowledge that an authentic Thai recipes has to have a great variety of traditional and exotic herbs as well as spices to be able to create the unmistakable Thai flavors. Eighty five percent of ingredients of Thai Bistro are imported from  Thailand, including the rice that they serve. Each dish is being prepared exactly the way a Thai dish should be prepared.


The Foods


Appetizers / Starters



Mieng Kham (Php180)
One of Thai Bistro appetizers. The leaves used for this appetizer is fresh hand picked personally by Ms. Chang from her backyard. You can remove the chili but I suggest you try it with one. 





Choo Chee Roti (Php195)
This is a buttered roti with red  curry dip. I personally like this appetizer as the buttered roti mix well with the dip. You may also try to use the chili dip instead of the red one if you fancy. Both are great with the roti.



Pink Pomelo  (Php360)
This is a pomelo based salad with mixtures of shrimps, chicken, and herbs.

Main Dishes



Lamb Shank Massaman (Small 400g Php120/g)
What I like about this dish is the tenderness of the meat. It is so delectable as the flavor was absorbed deep through the meat.


Chicken Syan Wrap (Php315)
I thought I am eating a ground pork until it was brought top my attention that I was actually chewing chicken!



Sala Daeng (Php328)
I like the very meticulous presentation of lemongrass florets stuffed with chicken.


Khao Khluk Kapi (Php315)
For a budget meal, I would recommend this, especially if you have a thing for bagoong rice. You will surely end up full and satisfied.



Thai Ravioli (Php295)
Beef and mushrooms wrapped in rice paper. Ohhh a fusion of flavors!


Pad Thai (Php350)
One of the best Pad Thais in the market.
Desserts



Bistro Nest Water Chestnut (Php240)
This I say is a must-try dessert of Thai Bistro.  It is coconut based ice cream inside a nest of sweet potatoes! Mix it with the chocolate dip and oh so heavenly!


Takhoo Thai (Php180)
Tapioca pearls topped with creamy coconut custard.  Creamy!



Sticky Rice with Mango (Php210)
If you are done eating but still have enough room for more, take this and you will not be disappointed.

There are different refreshments to choose from. They have fruit shakes and drinks. Provided below are the 3 flavored juices that we ordered.



Lemongrass Juice (Php80)
