Lunch at Mango Tree BGC

Thai food is definitely something that I crave once in a while, if not often. If I have to rank my fave cuisine, Thai food is totally in my top three.

So last Sunday, we went to Mango Tree in BGC. I was craving for Thai green curry, one of my favourite Thai dishes.

Mango Tree BGC

Ordered shrimp cake for appetizer. Juicy and so yummy!

Pork belly bbq. Love the dipping sauce. Extra dipping sauce will set you back P30. But it's worth it.

Super favorite. I love chicken green curry.

Pad Thai

Ground pork in Holy Basil. The lumpy fat makes it super good.

We had these with white rice. And by the end of the meal, I was stuffed and satisfied. Mango Tree is a little pricey though compared to other Thai restos.  All these cost around P4,000 (with 1 mango shake and 1 coke zero). But you gotta eat what you gotta eat. So yeah.

Travel: High Tea at Thirty8 Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

So last weekend, we were in KL for a much needed R&R. We were there for only 5 days but it was more than enough to recharge us. 

While googling for the best high tea in KL, Thirty8 at Grand Hyatt always comes up. Now I understand why they're always fully booked especially on the weekends. Situated on the 38th floor of Grand Hyatt KL (hence the name Thirty8), you get a very nice view of the Petronas Towers.  

I advise you make an advance reservation even if you're visiting on a weekday. We went on a Monday and while it was not fully booked,  the crowd was sizeable.

 

Afternoon tea set of sweet and savoury selection with a cup of coffee and tea (good for 2 pax) 

Price: MYR188 nett (P2,368)

I suggest you arrive with an empty stomach. We just had lunch right before we had the afternoon tea, so we were still full. And even with the three of us, we couldn't finish everything.

Will probably visit again next time we find ourselves in KL.
