We were introduced recently to SOMS Noodle House, a Thai restauran
t located within the vicinity of Rockwell (exactly outside the gates of Rockwell). It's not your usual resto with the "Rockwell" ambiance but more like a carinderia. The gound floor of the house-converted-to-restaurant can accomodate 10-15 people, and they have tables outside for those who like it al fresco. On our trip to Mandaluyong, we discovered another branch of SOMS (Tel. 0929-7024379) just infront of the Mandaluyong City Hall.

So what did we discover in this restaurant? Food, glorious food!! The cooking is authentic Thai food at its best - and the best deal is that it's not expensive at all. For curry lovers like me, try the three variants - green, yellow, and red. You choose the main ingredient - chicken, beef or fish and the color. Of course they all taste like curry, but the spiciness and sweetness varies with the color (red is more spicy, yellow is spicy and sweet). The curry dish is a must try - believe me! The fried catfish-mango salad is also good. The preparation is similar to what is served in Bangkok - crispy shredded catfish topped the semi-
ripe mangoes (dipped in salt solution) and mixed with chopped onions, tomato, and peanuts (we ordered the same dish at Recipes in Trinoma...ngekk! ..... what we got is green mango (ang asim!) with chopped onions and tomato topped with very few soggy catfish and accompanied by bagoong - too mush fusion food is sometimes not good).
Another dish that passed our taste is the kangkong with shrimp. And Geof's all-time favorite, the deep fried "Tonto" fish (no idea why they call this fish "tonto" - poor fish :) is crispy and delicious especially when dipped in vinegar with sili. We still have to try their Tom Yum soup.
