I am taking a break from writing my Bangkok Adventure posts (there are two more coming up!) but I am here to give you another one . . . and it is about Thai food! (Thai pa rin talaga! Haha)
Since we didn't get enough Thai food in Bangkok, we got our fill and ate to our heart's' content back home in . . . Pampanga!
My sister heard about this Thai restaurant in Angeles City from her friends and told me about it. According to the waitress who took care of us, the restaurant has been operating for six years now. It was previously known as Chiangmai Restaurant. I am just not sure if the change in name meant change in ownership. One thing is for sure though, they serve good, authentic Thai food because it is owned by a Thai lady who personally cooks all the dishes being served.
The restaurant (a bungalow house) is located in a residential area. The place doesn't have a parking area (it is street parking) so this can be a problem especially when it is peak time. I am glad we went for a late lunch. You know the place has made quite an impression when you see someone bring a group of Korean tourists there after a game of golf.
So through this post, I want to bring you too to . . . Patcharawan's Thai Restaurant!

This is the dining area when you enter the red gate, it is the al fresco part of the restaurant.
We were seated in the air conditioned area.
The restaurant's menu has more than enough good choices. You get to choose what meat you want for the Thai dishes. The menu even has International dishes (Singaporean, Malaysian and Mexican! I know, I wasn't expecting the Mexican part, haha).
We came with a good appetite and ordered the following:
1) Shrimp and Squid Salad - it was refreshing, loved the dressing and the succulent shrimps! And big too I must say. I wish the squid were more tender though.
2) Fried Rice with Chicken - when we go out, we have to order Fried rice for the kids. I also wanted to order Bagoong Rice but it wasn't available that day.
3) Grilled Chicken Satay - LOVE it! The chicken was tender and the satay sauce was good!
4) Phad See Lew (pronounced as Pad See You) - I wish we ordered Phad Thai instead, haha! This is actually me and hubby's favorite Thai Noodle dish so I am already expecting this particular taste which (sadly) we didn't get in this dish. I found it dry too.
5) Chicken Stir Fry with Basil - another winner!
And of course, we had to try one of their curries so we ordered. . .
6) Chiangmai Curry - This curry dish tastes like peanut-ty and has a hint of sweetness, similar to the satay sauce.
And you know what the BEST part about this meal?!!! The price! Our total bill (food plus plain rice and drinks) came out to Php1,300 only (around US$26)!
For the quality and quantity of food you get and the price you pay, this place is a winner!
If there is one thing I would suggest is for them to have more wait staff ( or probably we came in after lunch time so the others are on break?) But I have to say that the staff were nice and they were trying their best to manage all the tables.
So if ever you are in Angeles City and are craving for some Thai food, this is a good place to go to!
Happy Food Tripping!
(Oh my gosh, writing this post made me hungry, seriously. I want some Thai food now, haha! )
