Expensive Food at Mango Tree Bistro

My friends and I always pass through the Mango Tree Bistro in Trinoma everyday since it's on the way to the parking.  Now I know why it's rarely full.  Mahal pala siya.  We ate there tonight and our bill reached around 720 pesos each for a party of five!! And the servings were not so big pa! Talo! Tapos, somebody sings around 8PM which makes it hard to make conversation! You have to shout if you want to chit chat with your friends.

Restaurant Review: Mango Tree Bistro in Trinoma

I love Thai food yet unfortunately, I can never seem to get my fix for Thai food here in Manila.  Last night, Vic and I tried this newly opened restaurant in Trinoma - the Mango Tree Bistro - and it turns out that the place offers Thai cuisine!  Well, we got our usual favorites - from Tom Yung Goong to Khao Phad - yet the taste was pretty ordinary.  I don't know if the cooks here 'Filipinize' the taste to suit the Filipino taste buds, but I'd still rather go to Bangkok to get my Thai food fix.  I think the cooks substitute the spiciness too much because in Thailand, I could always feel that my ears are burning from the hot spices!  But here, I rarely experience that.
