Foodie Fave: Simply Thai

Gone are the days when our energetic selves would be awake til dawn.

Hitting our mid-20s means this: late night episodes would have us yawning by 11pm and Saturdays will be bumped off by Sunday brunches and early dinner catch ups on weekdays. :)

For all the mid-20s in the house, can you relate? Lol!

Is it just us? Whether this is a sign of aging or just a phase that we will soon get over with, there's beauty in the quiet stillness of Sundays and the ho-hum of Makati that doesn't look like it at all on a weekday.

So it was set: drop by Rosa Clara for our friend's wedding gown fitting, then have late lunch at Simply Thai in Greenbelt 5. :)







"Authentic Southeast Asian flavours passionately prepared as vivid and dynamic as the colours of Thailand, each dish here at Simply Thai is a treat and adventure for the senses." - Simply Thai

Appetizer first: Thai Fresh Rolls (240) - glass noodles rolled with fresh vegetables and shrimps



Green Chicken Curry (P360) - generous serving! Simply Thai has an array of curries but this is one of their specialties! A must-try with their jasmine rice!




Tom Yum Kung (P510) - this is a little bit watery but I like its taste - sweet, spicy and sour with just the right balance. They serve this on a metal burner to make sure that the soup is well heated all throughout :)

Steamed whole Seabass in Lime Garlic Sauce (P800/kg) - This is my top choice! I'm used to having my steamed fish with tao-si (chinese-style), so this is my first time to try it with this sauce and it's goooood :) Definitely worth the price because of the seabass' firm and fresh meat :)


With Ponggy, Mhe and Kimmy (decade-old friends!)


These guys have listed down their specialties on their FB page: 

"Thai mouth watering salads such as the Yam Som oh (Pomelo salad with chicken and prawn), Krabi Salad (seafood in lime-coconut dressing), Crispy Cat Fish Salad, Laab Gai and Laab Moo (chicken or pork salad respectively) and the Som Tam (green papaya salad).

Traditional Thai Curries such as Green chicken curry, Gai Mangosteen curry, Yawarat duck curry, Lamb Shank Massaman, Pork Tamarind, Pork Pineapple and Aromatic Prawn Curry.

Stir fries such to fire up your appetites such as Chicken Cashew, Chicken Pandan, Thai Beef Rendang, Patbung with crispy pork and more.

Delightful rice and noodles such as Pad Thai, Khao Kluk Kapi, Pineapple rice, Pad Siew, Khao Pad Moo and Khao Pad Gai, and Khao Soi."

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home...  But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too!  Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the  ambiance  as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC. And it shows the moment you enter one of the rooms. The s...

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine
