Revisited : Som's Noodle House

Yesterday, we were invited to an intimate celebration over lunch. Mom's good friend threw this small party to celebrate her son's graduation from college. I normally like staying home on Sunday mornings/afternoons because this is our usual routine. But I wouldn't miss this, especially since I haven't eaten in Som's for quite sometime.

The place (Rockwell branch) is a far cry from what it looked like years ago when they were just starting out. But please don't expect a 5-star environment. This is a no-frills restaurant. However, it's CLEAN and well-kept. The servers are also very attentive and alert!

I was too busy catching up with old friends, I totally forgot to take note of the exact names of the dishes. You'll figure it out :)

Bagoong Fried Rice

Som Tam (Papaya Salad)

Curried Crabs

Pad Siew (flat rice noodles with beef and vegetables)

Okay this one I totally did not get the name
But we had 2 orders of it and although it was spicier than the other orders, this was really good!

The vegetables look really crispy and fresh in the photo right?
They really were!

Finally, talk about saving the best for last
Sticky Rice with Mango

Suffice it to say, the long wait to eat at Som's again was well worth it. The food quality hasn't changed at all. I'm glad there's a 2nd branch that's a 5-10 minute drive from the house.

Som's Makati : 5921 Alger St. Poblacion, Makati City (near Rockwell)
Som's Mandaluyong : Maysilo Circle (rotonda) near the Mandaluyong City Hall

If you want a bang for your buck and authentic Thai food, go!
