Dine At Banana Leaf

After eyeing several fast food chains and restaurants, another eating venue was tried and tested by the trio critic. It was the Banana Leaf at SM North Edsa.  Though it wasn’t my first time, I was excited as kid craving for candies.

The place is pretty small yet cozy. It has good lighting that you would want to take thousands of pictures.

Thai Kingdom Come This July

Tweet

Yesterday, I was privileged to get an invite to attend Thai Kingdom Come at Marriott Hotel resorts World in Pasay City. Basically, it's their way to promote some exquisite Thai cuisine through: 

• 1 month Thai tentic Dinner Buffet at Marriott Cafe for only P1750 nett 
•  diners are given a chance to win three days and two nights stay in one of the Marriott properties in Bangkok
• Must Thai Cooking Class on July 12 and 19 with JW Marriott sous chef Thanatorn Krobsuay for only P1000 nett (inclusive of 3course Thai meal)

Honestly, cooking is not really my cup of tea but I swear, I really enjoyed a lot in this event that I wanted to go to Thailand as soon as now to grab all these magical herbs and spices they traditionally use in cooking. Aside from that, their procedures are so so easy. I think I can use some of them at home, if my mom and the rest of the gang permit me. :)

Okay, I wont go into details since I'm not very good at judging food so to show you, Here's something to drool over:
