Som's Noodle House (Makati)

November 16, 2010

Som's Noodle house started as a Very Small Noodle House in a Apartment House in Makati. Now, Som's has expanded, they are now located in a much bigger location and they also have another branch in Mandaluyong.

Food at Som's is far from the Real Authentic Thai Food. Their food lacks "The" flavor so typical of Thai Food.

Tom Yum Soup - Their Tom Yum is so-so, it scrimped on seafood and other ingredients of Tom Yum. There are much better Tom Yum's served in other restaurants and also with the same price also.

Mixed Vegetables - Very Bland. We had to use Knorr Seasoning to add flavor to it. But the vegetables were cooked right. The mixed vegetables sold at the corner Turo Turo tastes better.

Bagoong Rice - Lacked that Bagoong Flavor. Could not taste any Shrimp Paste flavor. The pork was a bit hard also.

Satay Chicken - Another Bland Tasting Dish. The Satay lacked flavor. The Sauce also lacked flavor. The chicken used was kind of tough also. They should have chopped the chicken into smaller pieces.

Chicken Pandan - Bland Tasting also. The one sold at Bahay Ligaya (Which is not even a Thai Restaurant) tastes better.

The first time i ate at Som's was several years ago. They were just a Turo Turo located in an Apartment. There were no Rice Dishes at that time, just Noodle's. Even then, I did not find anything Extraordinary about Som's. So it made me wonder why it was always Jampacked.
