Just Thai is not just Thai ...

I had to go back for more. I had to try everything on their menu so I took the owners offer to come back and have some more.

This time around, I ordered the Tom Kha Gai (Php190) which is a chicken soup in coconut broth and lemongrass. This one I had at mildly spicy. I like that the soup was very creamy and it wasn't too spicy. I also liked how the lemongrass brought out the taste of chicken but did not overpower it.


Since my sister Y was with us, I also go the Tom Yum (Php190) and for this one, I had it at its usual spiciness. This hot and sour favorite soup of Thailand definitely had a zing to its taste. It personified what Thai food is about which is a burst of flavor that ends with a strong hint of spiciness or hotness.


Next thing we had on the table was the Tod Man Pla (Php290) which was fish cakes with cucumber sauce. This was quite interesting. It was a first for me and it reminded me strongly of a Filipino dish that had small grey fishies being fried together with egg and flour.


We also had the Kung Kratiem (Php500) which is prawns sauteed in garlic and pepper. We also had the Pad Talay Prik Pow (Php280.) I liked that the shrimp were fresh and just the right size. It's not too big and its not too small. It's also been taken out of the shell which allows one to eat with ease.


However, the best sellers of the night for us would be the Chicken with Cashew which was a new dish. My family loved it and so did I. It could use a little less ginger but aside from that, it was great.


The Khao Pad Poo (Php220) Crabmeat Fried Rice was another hit with us and everyone was in unanimous agreement that it was definitely a must try. The Khao Pad Phed Neua (Php290) which is a spicy beef rice was also another must try but this one is for those who have a love for spicy things. Those who have a faint heart need not try for the mild version was already enough to sting.


Other viands that are a must try are the Gaeng Khiao Wan Gai (Php380) which is chicken in green curry and the Ghaeng Phet (Php480) which is beef in red curry.



I am not a fan of Thai food and yet, Just Thai in Molito manages to draw me in. Since I love my readers so much, I'm gonna go ahead and share the love.

Yep ... its a BLOG GIVEAWAY!

* I was invited to review the food. I did not pay for my meal. However, the free meal did not in any way sway my opinion and everything you read here is MY PERSONAL OPINION.
