Must-Try Dishes:

• Chili Crispy Calamari: Tender calamari coated in a fiery chili sauce, perfect for those who love a little heat.
• Stir-fried Okra with Fermented Fish: A unique and flavorful dish showcasing okra's versatility. Yes, I know not everyone eats this slimy veggie. But just give this a try. You might be a convert. It's good for you, it has lots of fiber anyway. 
• Drunken Seafood Pasta: A satisfying pasta dish loaded with fresh seafood and a spicy kick.
• Coconut and Custard with Sweet Corn: A sweet and indulgent dessert that will leave you craving more.
• Fried Egg Salad: This unique twist on a classic salad features a perfectly cooked fried egg, adding a rich and satisfying element to the fresh and vibrant flavors. (I find this really refreshing!)
• Thai Pork with Sticky Rice in Jim Jaew Sauce: Indulge in the fiery heat of Jim Jeaw sauce, a traditional Thai chili dip, as it complements the tender pork and fragrant sticky rice. (Jim Jeaw, also known as Nam Jim Jeaw is a classic Thai dipping sauce typically used for grilled meats. It's made from fish sauce, lime juice and/or tamarind, sugar, and dried chillies, toasted powder and fresh herbs.) The spicy acidity, with toasted rice aroma and fresh herbs makes it the perfect thing to enhance and balance the richness of the grilled pork. 
• Beef Boat Noodles: This hearty soup is a flavorful fusion of beef, noodles, and aromatic broth, making it the perfect comfort food. This soup reminds me of Pho Bo and it's served with crispy chicken skin on the side that perfectly complements its rich broth. 
• Green Curry Chicken Noodles: Experience the creamy and spicy goodness of green curry, enhanced by the addition of tender chicken and noodles.

While you're there, please also try to order my favorite Minty Lemonade or their signature Thai Iced tea. The minty lemonade is a great palate cleanser. A refreshing twist on a classic, minty lemonade combines the tartness of lemons with the cool, invigorating flavor of fresh mint. The perfect balance of sweet and tangy, this drink is ideal for hot summer days. The addition of mint leaves adds a subtle herbaceous note that complements the citrusy sweetness of the lemonade.

Thai iced tea, on the other hand, is a beloved Southeast Asian beverage known for its rich, creamy texture and distinctive sweet and slightly bitter flavor. Brewed with black tea and sweetened with condensed milk, Thai iced tea is often served over ice. The combination of flavors is a delightful treat that is both refreshing and indulgent.

Mango Tree Unveils New Look and New Dishes

Mango Tree in BGC

Global Thai brand Mango Tree has spruced up its look and it also introduces new dishes. One of the first ones to have significant design changes is its flagship restaurant. The new menu concept now appeals to both "purists"and "food adventurers" as the company eyes to cater to all foodies and diners. You might remember Mango Tree for their authentic and best tasting Pad Thai. Filipinos have a strong love for noodles. I am a noodle fan myself and I have always enjoyed Mango Tree's kway teow pad thai which is literally translated to "Thai-style stir-fried noodles."  Mango Tree has refashioned the interiors to create a cozy casual fine-dining feel. 

Now with 200-seating capacity, Mango Tree has a 20 seat solarium and 40 seat loft area that has been enclosed for private functions. Aside from that, it is now offering mouthwatering menu of healthy and authentic Thai cuisine from the four regions of Thailand. Unlike before, diners will not enter through the casual elegance of the solarium and see its posh bar which connects to the high-ceiling restaurant which offers a topiary feel. It also has a stunning show kitchen, wine room and semi-private booth seats. 

The refurbished restaurant still maintains an elegant aura while being just as inviting and approachable as the first time they opened. With the addition of plants and greenery, it offers a sense of escape and tropical tranquility. 

Mango Tree is now made more accessible to people--new look, new vibe, new dishes, and the whole experience. When a restaurant looks more fun and inviting, you're not scared to enter the place, would you? Indeed, the revamped Mango Tree is a more comfortable and relaxed haven that makes guests feel right at home. 

Now here's another piece of good news: It's not just the look of the restaurant that went through some exciting changes. Mango Tree also introduced new dishes to their menu.
