Thai cuisine is known to be naturally medicinal and brings health and vigor to every meal. Their menu is inspired by the four regions of Thailand and appeal to a diverse clientele. Each dish is an artful balance of four harmonious flavors: sweet, sour, salty and spicy, with fresh aromatic herbs as the final touch.<\/p>\n

A standout dish is theit Soft Shell Crab with Holy Basil (Php 880)<\/strong>, a savory delight made with soft shell crab tossed with basil, onions, and chili peppers for a spicy kick.<\/p>\n

They also have\u00a0a Vegetarian section of Healthy Greens<\/em> and True Vegan<\/em> that cater to health-conscious people. Two great and tasty examples are the Vegan Coconut Mushroom Soup (Php 580)<\/strong>, which is made with mushrooms, galangal, and lemongrass simmered in a fragrant coconut cream broth and Vegan Fresh Mushroom Spring Rolls (Php 480)<\/strong>, packed with mushrooms and mixed vegetables wrapped in rice paper, served with a tamarind sauce.<\/p>\n

The menu will change every now and then, but will highlight new items and will keep the favorites. Prices will be competitive with other upscale restaurants in the area.<\/p>\n

One of the mainstays is be the Pad Thai with Shrimp (Php 620),<\/strong>\u00a0which will always be a favorite plate for anyone looking for a great Thai dish. The noodles are soft while the vegetables are\u00a0crunchy, working perfectly well with the prawns.<\/p>\n
