Restaurant Review: People's Palace (Greenbelt 3)

It was only my second time dining at People's Palace although I wish I had discovered this place a long time ago. It offers modern Thai cuisine and is located in Greenbelt 3 right beside Via Mare Oyster Bar. I used to just pass by and ignore it, and now it is one my greatest food-related regret. :P

So here are the "tested" menu items. I wanted to take some pictures but food pornography is too obscene when you're in front of great stuff. :P Photos are borrowed from other sites. Please refer to the links for the sources of these pictures.

The very first thing you should order is their superb Prawn Spring Rolls with chili sauce. One taste of this yummy shrimpy treat and you'll definitely know why People's Palace is usually fully-booked during dinner time. It's an appetizer item but it doubles as a main, so it's a great choice. ;)

For the mains, you'll have to try one of the curries. We had the Panaeng Curry of Beef. The curry sauce is rich, creamy and delicious while the beef is very tender. It captures the taste and smell of Thailand. During the previous visit, we also tried the Crispy Lapu-lapu fillets with red curry and basil. The Lapu-lapu was cooked very nicely - skin is crispy and the meat is soft and juicy.

There are several drinks and desserts to choose from. Of course we tried the Sticky Rice with mangoes. One of the mango halves served was a bit too sour but it's still a pretty good choice. :)

It seems like you can never go wrong with any dish in this place. Kudos to the Chef Colin Mackay!

Prices may be a bit steep but it well worth it! Be prepared to pay about 500pesos or more per person. :)
