Food Trip: Som's Noodle House

Since hubby and I were "almost" on our just the two of us moment today ("Almost" because hindi pwedeng mawalay sa akin ang aking loyal bodyguard na si Christoff. Hehe.), nilubos lubos na namin. We had an impromptu dinner date. Saan kamo? We ate at Som's Noodle House near Rockwell. We chose Som's because (1) minsan lang kami magawi somewhere in that area na kami lang dalawa and (2) namiss namin ang Som's specially their Pad Thai noodles and Thai Milk Tea.

At first, we went to their branch somewhere in Mandaluyong City Hall. Unfortunately, hindi namin nakita yung Som's doon kasi wala na pala! Haha! Ang tagal na kasi since the last time we ate there eh. Binabaha raw doon kaya clinose na lang nila yung branch. 

At dahil gusto talaga namin kumain ng Thai food sa Som's, we just went to their original branch in Makati. When we arrived there, nagulat kami sa major changes. Hindi na siya yung dating restaurant na nasa bahay lang at banketa. Nagtransform na siya into a restaurant setting pero hindi naman yung tipong bonggang bongga. Haha!

Still, meron pa rin silang al fresco area near the banketa like before pero better version naman...

On their wall, may picture ng mga food nila in case you are not familiar with Thai food...

They also improved on their menu card...

We ordered the following:

Their famous Thai Milk Tea...

P50.00

Ang sarap talaga nito promise! I love the woody taste of the tea which blended well with the milk. Lasang lasa niya talaga yung Thai Milk Tea na natikman ko sa Thailand.

Siyempre, di rin mawawala ang Pad Thai Noodles...

P250.00

We ordered the Seafood Pad Thai Noodles. Higher yung price niya compared sa regular Pad Thai Noodles (Obvious ba? Haha!). At first, I asked the waitress why is it maputla this time pero wala naman palang effect ito sa taste. It still tastes good like before plus ang dami daming sahog. This is actually good for 3-4 persons.

Shrimp Cake...

P220.00

We were supposed to order Thai Spring Rolls kaso lang pork lang ang meron sila kaya iba na lang inorder namin. Then next choice namin is Fish Cake kaso unavailable din. Kaya ayan, we ended up with the Shrimp Cake. Good choice pa rin naman kasi yummy din siya lalo na't ang init niyang sinerve sa amin plus the dipping sauce which complemented well with it.

Isaw ng Manok...

P20.00 per stick

Yes, tama ang nakikita niyo may isaw ng manok. Haha. Maybe you are wondering bakit meron ganyan sa Thai restaurant. Well, meron kasi silang ihaw ihaw sa labas. In fairness ha, masarap ito. Very tasty siya and hindi dry.

Each item in their menu is actually good for 3 to 4 persons. Since heavygatin kaming mag-asawa, medyo sakto lang sa amin yang inorder namin. For me, I'm super busog while si hubby tamang busog (Yup, may ganun kaming mga terms. Haha!). Kaya when it comes to the bill, medyo naging expensive ang dinner namin. P715.00 (with 10% service charge) kasi ang nakain namin. For that kind of restaurant, yung tipong hindi naman classy ang dating, medyo parang expensive siya. But still, ok lang naman sa amin because nasatisfy naman kami in terms of taste and quantity. Kumbaga, worth it pa rin naman ang pagdayo namin sa Som's. Hindi kami nabigo. =)
