Mango Tree: Finally, Authentic Thai Fine Dining in Manila?!

By Anton Diaz
Topics: #Restaurants, Food

How times have changed! Hotels no longer monopolize the fine dining scene in Manila. Most actually have neglected it–they hardly innovate or even renovate their restaurants. They just rely on introducing different-themed buffets with different chefs. These days, if you want to go out for really good food, you go to specialized themed restaurants. And now, … Continue reading Mango Tree: Finally, Authentic Thai Fine Dining in Manila?!

Thai Dara

I am on a constant lookout for cheap Thai finds, and another one opened along Granada St. in Greenhills. This street is notorious for having the record of the most promising restaurants closing down in less than a year’s time. With difficult parking space, a view of bumper-to-bumper traffic, and a sign that you can … Continue reading Thai Dara

Khao Pad (Formerly U.P. Thai Canteen)

By Anton Diaz
Topics: #Restaurants, Food

A lot of U.P. Foodies were thrilled to see the former U.P. Thai Canteen open in Ortigas Home Depot early this year. Most people thought that Mommy Thai (as the owner was fondly called by U.P. students) closed the resto for good in 2006 after moving twice outside of the campus. I finally had the chance to try it in its current home near Starbucks in Ortigas Home Depot.
