I LOVE THAI FOOD!!!
Which is why I was thrilled that we had dinner at Basil, a lush and uniquely designed Thai restaurant located near White Plains.
Stepping inside Basil transported me to a tropical resort.. its relaxing vibe made it a perfect place to unwind and catch up with old friends.
We ordered a mix of traditional and not so traditional Thai dishes:
 |
| Fresh Spring Rolls (220php) |
Fresh and light.
 |
| Pomelo Salad (295php) |
I love coconut milk so this was a winner for me.
 |
| Crispy Fish with Green Mango (325php) |
Familiar flavors that hit the spot.
 |
| Pad Thai (325php) |
Not a fan of Pad Thai in general but friends appreciated Basil's version.
 |
| Tom Yum Soup (298php) |
Authentic stock with generous serving of seafood.
 |
| Thai Bagoong Rice (295php) |
I've never had a bad plate of bagoong rice because I just love it so much.
 |
| Fish with Three Flavor Sauce (750php) |
One of Basil's bestsellers. It's crunchy outside and soft inside with sweet, spicy, and sour flavors.
 |
| Lemongrass Steak (495php) |
The only dish I didn't care for. Average steak.
 |
| Pork Ribs with Honey (235php) |
Oh-so-tender! Wished the portion was bigger.
 |
| Creamy Pork Curry (325php) |
Would have preferred if the curry was spicier.
 |
| Coconut Ice Cream (95php) |
Did I mention that I love everything with coconut milk?
 |
| Thai Halo-halo (165php) |
I still prefer the Pinoy version.
 |
| Mango Sticky Rice (130php) |
A Thai meal isn't complete without Mango Sticky Rice.
Happy that I can add Basil to the short list of authentic Thai restaurants here in the Philippines.
Basil is located at White Plains Ave cor Katipunan Avenue Ugong Norte, Quezon City. For more information, call 911-4158.
