I love pad thai to death. When I am in Bangkok, I eat pad thai three times a day everyday. And because I love pad thai, I love all the other thai foods that go well with the rice noodle dish. I wish I could fly to Bangkok every breakfast, lunch and dinner, but I am a poor girl who cannot afford. So I just gatecrash when my folks have dinner at Dusit Thani Hotel’s Benjarong, Manila’s very own Thai food heaven.
Everything in Benjarong is delicious!
Thai spring rolls – Yes.
Shrimp and vegetables wrapped in rice noodle sheet – Yes.
Green chicken curry – the only “no” dish, but it is a “NO!” with vengeance. The chicken is too tough and too dry it’s an unforgivable crime.
Roasted duck in sweet and sour red curry – YES and YES!
My all time favorite and the very reason why I love all things Thai… PAD THAI – YES, YES, AND YES!!!
Ripe mango with sticky rice – YES, YES, AND YES!!!
The food in Benjarong is truly awesome. It is as close to the real thing as you can get.
I feel like I am in Thailand already.
Sawatdee Kaa! Benjarong aroi mak mak! Khorb koon!
Hihihi!
