Just Thai in Molito, Alabang

I was invited to do a food review of Just Thai located in Molito, Alabang last Monday and I was really excited to try it out.

love the high ceiling and oriental decors

I have very low tolerance when it comes to spicy food so it was nice that you can specify how hot you want their dishes to be. I've eaten in Thai restaurants before where even if you tell them to keep it mild, the dish is still served extremely spicy. So this is a definite thumbs up for them. :)

For starters, we were served 2 types of soup. I personally preferred the chicken soup (Tom Kha Gai) since I'm honestly not such a fan of seafood (Tom Yum). The coconut and lemongrass mixed with the chicken soup were an explosion of flavors.

For appetizers, we had chicken sate and spring rolls, both favorites of mine! The peanut sauce with the chicken was simply divine.

And then, dish after dish of delicious goodness were served.

Grilled Pork
Fillet of Fish
Cashew Chicken
Chicken Pandan
Pad Thai
Bagoong Rice

Everything tasted really good and authentic. My personal favorites were the Chicken Pandan, Cashew Chicken, and Pad Thai.

For their drinks, I had the Thai Iced Tea and Lemongrass Juice, both equally refreshing. I also tried their Tamarind Juice, but I found the Tamarind taste a little too strong for me. Although I've heard others really like the kick to the taste buds. ;p

Now the best part, dessert! I didn't expect to like the Tha Kho so much, which is a coconut pudding. It tasted really light and refreshing. Perfect palate cleanser.

And finally, they saved the best for last in terms of presentation. Just look at the intricate arrangement of mango slices on top of the sticky rice. This classic Thai dessert just looked too pretty to eat!

Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience since they have a good variety of dishes to choose from. I will definitely be back with hubby who loves spicy food (so he can make his dishes as hot as he wants!). Thank you again to Ms. Kenny Ngo for the invite. I definitely enjoyed the food and the company.
