Lunch at People's Palace

We had an impromptu lunch at People's Palace today. Thanks to Pat's carpenter who didn't arrive thus starting a chain reaction that led to our having lunch for no reason at all.

With only an hour's notice and several text messages these are the classmates who made it to lunch. Some are supposed to be at work, some have errands to do, some just wanted to have a beauty day but all dropped everything to have lunch. We are just so easy!

People's Palace is a Thai restaurant in Greenbelt 3 that has been around for a long time. It's my first time to eat here. It's a bit pricey and the servings are small but the food is good.

pandan juice P110

lemongrass and ginger juice P110

prawn spring rolls P310

prawn, pomelo and coconut salad P380

Thai prawn cakes P370

This was my favorite dish. It tastes just like Laksa. It's a bit spicy and the curry is made with coconut milk.

kao soi gai - northern style chicken curry
w/ crispy egg noodles P380

stir fried clams P390

Their phad thai wasn't as pretty as Azuthai's but it's pretty good too.

This chicken curry was very mild. It's perfect for those who don't like hot curries.

All the desserts we ordered were fabulous. My favorite was the chocolate cake which initially tasted dry but it had a dense and moist center. The flavor was deep and dark just the way I like it.
