‘Tis the season to celebrate mothers everywhere. Happy Mothers’ Day!    

As always, any special occasion is a perfect excuse to go and dine out. Since it’s mother’s day, my mom also took it as a perfect excuse to have me treat her and the whole family for dinner. Well, it wasn’t that forced. Haha. I did owe my family a long over due treat. They say it’s part of the Filipino culture to treat your family on your first pay day. Well, I got my first pay a year ago. Thus, the long over due treat. 
 
My family loves dining out. Our favorite restaurant destinations usually serves either Filipino, Italian, American, or Japanese cuisine. For this mother’s day celebration, we wanted something different for a change, probably try Korean or Thai cuisine. After looking through the web for recommended Korean or Thai restaurants, we ended up having our dinner at ‘Thai at Silk’ at Serendra, Taguig.   

It’s a nice place. At first glance, the place won’t strike you as a Thai restaurant. It looks like the typical zen-ish place most asian restaurants have. Obviously, I’m not particularly good with describing places so the picture below should be able to help me. It’s taken from ‘Our Awesome Planet site‘ because I wasn’t able to take my own picture of the place.

I wasn’t able to take pictures of the food also. We were all hungry. It seems like the food vanished as soon as the servers placed it on our table. We ordered the following: Chicken Pandan, Phad Thai, Stir Fried Squid & Shrimp, Aromatic Beef Curry and Crab Rice. I loved the Stir Fried Squid & Shrimp and the Aromatic Beef Curry. Both were a little bit spicy, which I like. The food was definitely enough for 6 hungry people.

As for the service, it was okay. It was a busy night. The place was full so it’s understandable that the staff we’re all scurrying here and there. I have no complains though. All in all the ‘Thai at Silk’ experience was great. My mom loved the food. Yey! Of course, the rest of my family did too. They should, I paid for it. Haha. If I do crave for Thai food, I would definitely go back here. 

The celebration did not end here though. We walked around Bonifacio High Street and met up with my grandmother, my uncle and his kids. There were lots of people that night, kids playing, dogs running around, photogs taking photos. The place was definitely lively for a Sunday night. After walking around, we ended up staying at Figaro, a local coffee shop. Think Starbucks with Italian ambiance. We ended the night talking, taking pictures and generally hanging out; family quality time.
