Last month, I had the honor to attend the grand opening and ribbon cutting of Soi at SM City Manila.

Since SM City Manila is about a 5-minute ride from my place, I am happy that there's now a Thai restaurant there.

Unlike the Soi I visited in Glorietta, this one is quite narrow but it doesn't feel cramped at all because of the beautiful interiors.

I liked that they a bar and open kitchen so you can opt to see how your food and drinks are being prepared.


Because of this, I discovered that they use food coloring on their drinks like their Pandan Juice that I loved.  It somehow counters the healthy benefits of pandan for me.  My companion ordered one without the coloring so I guess that works too.


They even showcase the Thai condiments that they use.

Food

Fried Noodles

Complimentary Pad Thai

For the first 100 customers, we got a Complimentary Pad Thai.

Vegetable in Yellow Curry

Soi also introduced new dishes...

Specialties

Lemongrass Chicken

while maintaining old favorites like my favorite Lemongrass Chicken.

Chicken Leg Barbecue

Fried Banana with Vanilla Ice Cream (128 php)

Thai Halo Halo

I also loved their Thai Halo Halo.

I would definitely come back at Soi when in SM Manila.  Their offer a lot of Thai selections for an affordable price.
