we had this at CHIC AND FAB in Crossroads Mall in Cebu City.
It was HORRIBLE!!!!! In fact, the entire meal was HORRIBLE!!! All the dishes had sliced onions- red, white and even the green leaves, and i think nothing else. Were there a couple of squid tentacles in one dish?

As for the pomelo salad- nalumos / nalunod sa sobrang daming sibuyas (all colors and varieties).

Don’t go there for your pomelo salad, if you value your money and sanity!!

I love thai salads, they’re so refreshing, especially during a hot Manila day… you may want to try thai beef salad– without the beef, just the cucumber, tomato and white onion… goes so well with fried fish… its just calamansi, thai patis, garlic, bit of soy sauce, sugar and chili of course, to tolerance…

The traditional base dressing for Thai salads consists of fish sauce (patis), sugar (palm or brown), lime juice (lime or dayap). Like somtam, locals actually make this with finely sliced shallots (sometimes deep fried to add a different depth/dimension), finely chopped garlic cloves, cooked shrimp/prawns, crab meat, roasted peanuts, mint & cilantro/coriander leaves. Don’t forget the quintessential siling labuyo….David Thompson is actually one of the very few (handful) international celebrity cooks/chefs recognized in Thailand but not totally accepted because he had Westernized the traditional Thai dishes.

yum…this is one of my favorite things to order at thai restaurants here. i find the texture more refreshing than mango salad.
