It's been awhile since I've discovered a new joint so I was all in to check out Eleven.8 Cafe, Bar and Restaurant upon invite. 
 
Eleven.8 Cafe, Bar and Restaurant is located at the ground floor of Pacific Global Hospitality Institute (PGHI) Hotel.  One of the co-owners is a chef and instructor so I was really looking forward to the food.  According to the owners, they aim to be a cafe, breakfast place, meeting place venue, chill place at night and even a cooking lecture venue.

The place is very simple and laid back.

Food
We were served the typical bar chows.  Frankly, my expectation were not met.  Even by the simple color of these fries, I  could tell they used re-used oil.

I really have nothing much to say about the food.  The meat did not have anything spectacular in terms of taste but at least they were tender.  I feel the execution wasn't as ironed out as it should be.  The pasta was overcooked and soggy.

Drinks

But, the drinks were a hit!
 
I'd say the it was worth the trip just for the drinks.  
 
All the blends were smooth and addictive!
 
Both ladies and gentlemen will enjoy all their selections.
 
Yes, I'd recommend having some of their drinks while listening to a few gigs on a weekend night.

After numerous Gerry's branches sprouting locally and internationally, who could ever guess that it would open Sweet Chili Thai Fish & Noodle House.


I have to admit, I had no clue on what to expect.  The name barely even hints what it has to offer.
 

The pioneer store is stationed at Fisher Mall.  It has a casual ans Asian-influenced dining area with an open kitchen.

Food

Soups & Noodles

♥ Seafood Tom Yum (205 php)

 The Seafood Tom Yum is good for 2-3 persons.

♥ Seafood Tom Yum (205 php)

As you can see, they made use of authentic Thai spices which made the soup rich and flavorful.  I even like the spicy kick it delivers in every sip.  Seafood include fish fillet, shrimp and squid.  

Seafoods

♥ 5 Kind Herbs (365 php)

The 5 Kind Herbs is a deep-fried king fish dish with sweet and sour sauce, garlic and five authentic Thai herbs.  This is my first time to try a dish like this and I certainly enjoyed it!


Chicken

Chicken Pandan (265 php)

One of our all-time Thai favorites is the chicken pandan.  Sweet Chili's Chicken Pandan does not disappoint in terms of size and taste.

Stir Fried Spicy Chicken in Basil Leaves (245 php)

The Stir Fried Spicy Chicken in Basil Leaves is another hit among my companions.  We all enjoyed the crispy skin, tender juicy meat and the crunchy basil leaves.

Pork 

Grilled Liempo (215 php)

 I don't know what's Thai about the Grilled Liempo.  But, my friends enjoyed eating it with the spiced up sauce.


Dry Noodles

♥ Phad Thai with Egg (185 php)

 The Phad Thai with Egg is delicious!  The noodles were bouncy and chewy, the sauce is rich in a captivating way especially with the chopped peanut.  The shrimp was so soft.

Vegetables

♥ Tofu with Minced Chicken (195 php)

The Tofu with Minced Chicken is my favorite among all our orders.  It's fried breaded smooth and silky tofu topped with basil, chili and minced chicken.

Rice

Bagoong Rice (185 php)

For the price, this generous serving of Bagoong Rice is already good up to 4 persons.  Their version is pretty good because of the huge pork chunks. 

♥ Seafood Rice in Basil Sauce (185 php)

I've always been a fan of bagoong rice but this time, the Seafood Rice in Basil Sauce appealed more to my liking.

Desserts

Thako (85 php)

 A serving of the Thako has six dessicated coconut topped cream pudding with tiny tapioca pearls base and wrapped in pandan leaves.  My friends found this to be irresistible while I thought this is one of the sweeter thakos I've tried.

Drinks

Beverages

Thai Milk Iced Tea (55 php)

The Thai Milk Iced Tea was a bit too sweet for me.


Shakes & Juices

Ripe Mango Shake (80 php)

♥ Green Mango Shake (80 php)

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
If you're looking for affordable Thai cuisine that's good for sharing then Sweet Chili Thai Fish & Noodle House is one of your best bets.  I regret missing out on the Thai Noodles so I'm planning on coming back with the family.

 It's literally been years since I've revisited Greenhills Town Center and I was quite surprised that a lot of establishments has changed.  But, Grillery Restaurant & Bar has kept their place.

Believe it or not, I'm a downright simple kind of girl.  Well, my guy friends often joke that I'm more of a boy cause I don't mind walking long distances, commuting even in a hot day and I actually prefer down-to-earth cozy bars than the mainstream, noisy and expensive ones.


So yeah, a bar with wooden tables and chairs, yellow soft lights and perhaps acoustic songs playing in the background while I chat with friends works for me.

Food

Appetizers

♥ Sizzling Chicken Sisig (175 php)

 I've tried pork and tuna sisig before but I'd leave all of those for a Sizzling Chicken Sisig!

Chicken 

♥ Chicken Ala Kiev (250 php)

Based on its exteriors, I thought that the Chicken Ala Kiev is their version of a a Cordon Blue.

♥ Chicken Ala Kiev (250 php)

I was surprised when I sliced it into half that it was filled with butter.  It was sinfully good especially with the crunchy coating.  I bet no one can resist this!

Pork

♥ Grillery Liempo (285 php)

I'm not a fan of fatty dishes so I tend to avoid liempo.  But, the Grillery Liempo  is so crunchy, lean and meaty that I didn't want to leave even a bit of it.  This is one of the best liempo I've tried!


Fish

Balinese Fish (200 php)

The Balinese Fish s a very tasty fish dish that will make you want to eat more especially with rice.  The texture is pillow soft too.

Desserts

Oreo Puffs (165 php)

For dessert, we had Oreo Puffs which is popularly known as wicked oreos.  It is deep-friend oreo coated in thick batter, drizzled with chocolate syrup and served ala mode or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Oreo Puffs (165 php)

 As an Oreo fan, of course, I indulged myself!

Drinks 

Iced Tea

Their house blend Iced Tea is also pretty good.
