So it's a good news when another Thai resto opened in my work area at The Fort, BGC, Taguig. Even when Silk Road has not opened yet, I already informed my housemate that I would love to try their food. So imagine how delighted I was when I received an invitation for a blogger food night. Yey!
Note: Food photography using my S4. Eh tamad lang magdala ng dslr na mabigat. ^_^

Cecil Chang, the owner of the restaurant, made sure we felt welcome and made an effort to discuss why there could be no authentic Pad Thai here in Manila. Close to authentic, yes, but not 100% authentic. I like the honesty and humility, specially from someone who studied Thai cooking for years. Come on, she's the queen of Thai cuisine, and she really deserves it.
Anyway, upon arrival of the drink, the food never stopped coming!
Pandan Milk Tea and Thai Milk Tea
it's sooo good!
Crispy catfish is my favorite appetizer, but not until I had a taste of this Thai Ravioli. This is awesome!

my newest favorite Thai food!
Son-in-Law Eggs
traditional dish being cooked by Thai mothers for their soon-to-be-son-in-laws. it is slightly deep-fried eggs drizzled with a sweet sauce.
Salmon Cone
salmon cubes infused with lemongrass, lime and herbs and filled in ice cream cones.
salmon never goes wrong. =)
So much for the appetizer, next comes the main entrees.
Without being biased, I can honestly say Silk Road's Pad Thai is the best I've had in the Philippines. It's the closest thing to those pad thais in the streets of Bangkok!

Chicken Basil
minced chicken, string beans, basil and fried egg
Lamb Shank Massaman
delicately cooked for 8 hours and served with crispy noodles and sweet potato chips and shallots
Crispy Tilapia with Tamarind Puree
i love this!
Siamese Pork Ribs
grilled cinnamon caramel pork. super like as well!
And for dessert, nothing could be more heavenly than this Mango Sticky Rice.
Sticky Rice with Mango

And of course, wines are available to compliment these great food. They have an extensive collection of wines.

Overall, I liked it! Honestly I went back to Silk Road just 2 weeks after and I dragged my friends along. They agreed how amazing the Thai Ravioli, Pad Thai, and Sticky Rice with Mango are.
thank you Silk Road for satisfying my cravings! ♥
i will definitely come back (again) and recommend this to my friends
