NAV MODERN THAI CUISINE in KAPITOLYO, PASIG

GUESS WHERE???!?!?! I had it a long time coming. I rarely go to Kapitolyo, Pasig for any food adventures and I knew that I couldn't refuse this invite. NAV MODERN THAI CUISINE was weeping up a storm and I was craving.

 What looks like a hole in the wall resto, NAV MODERN THAI CUISINE is headed by chef Francis. This is not your ordinary guy. He heads Tipple & Slaw among other restaurants.
 It has been a couple of years since I've been to Thailand. I definitely miss the place. The drinks and the street food. NAV MODERN THAI CUISINE makes the most of everything and gives us a taste of Thailand.

I know that to beat the heat, drinks got to be iced cold and refreshing. We were served ICED PANDAN and ICED THAI MILK TEA. Hits the spot!

A take on pad thai, they made them into spring rolls. These PAD THAI SPRING ROLLS are perfect for starters. The chopped nuts gives it a contrasting texture. Perfect starter.

 TOM YUM FRIED CHICKEN is a soup that could make you go yumyum! I know its corny but heck the taste was definitely sour. It's a little spicy but heck it was nice.


 CRAB FRIED RICE was good on its own... I know we should have went with plain rice but you can't pass on crabs!

 Their version of wings, the KHAO SOI CRISPY wings was delicious. Contrasting flavors were present. Sweet, salty and a little spicy. YUMMY!

 RIB EYE GREEN CURRY is perfect for meat lovers. It was tender and perfect with every bite. The fact that it had curry in it made it awesome.

 Even if we were close to being full, the chef wanted us to experience this baby. THAI CRISPY PATA!!!
 It had a little tang to it that made it Thaish even if this one is a FILIPINO favorite. Perfect with rice!!!

 For dessert, we had the FRIED STICKY RICE. Balls made from sticky rice but deep fried. When I was in Thailand a couple of years back, I would always have this dish with every meal. I must say that their version impressed me. SARAP!

The place is definitely a hole in the wall. It can fit around 30-50 persons. Parking maybe a problem as only 4-5 cars can fit in front. Among other things, I can say that the food is delicious and affordable. Also, you might want to try out their NAV found on the top floor of the SM MEGA FASHION MALL near the ice skating rink. Although some dishes and specialties aren't available there, you could be sure of the quality and the taste.

TIPPLE & SLAW: Perfect Chow for lunch, snack and dinner

I found myself wanting more. I was tired of the usual fast food fare and I was craving for awesome comfort food. TIPPLE and SLAW certainly delivers.

Not only do they serve amazing drinks but TIPPLE and SLAW is a legit place to have your lunch, snack and dinner. TIPPLE and SLAW have an amazing menu that serve meals that make you happy.

 I tried their offerings once and I vowed that I will return. In the past month, I did. Twice.

I was with friends from #thektg and had an awesome lunch. Yes, I did go hungry. Super duper thanks to CHEF FRANCIS LIM! (of NAV and MELTING POT fame)

Drinks were served first. Strawberry Iced Tea, Arnold Palmer and  Orange Iced Tea.
Refreshing drinks for the hot summer.

UMAMI FRIES (250Php) is the perfect snack. Containing truffle and everything umami. From seaweeds flakes to Japanese Mayo.

TATER TOTS with duck fried meat. Another great beer match dish.

A crown favorite was up next. The CHICKEN NUGGETS (250Php)
None of that greasy stuff. This has all the sauces that you would want. From mustard, ketchup and their very own bbq sauce that goes with everything.

DUCK SLIDERS were also a nice treat. It is your duck burgers on steroids.

Another sandwich not to be missed is the PORCHETTA SANDWICH (350Php). This was overflowing with porchetta. The bread was cooked perfectly and the sauces goes well with it. 

MAC and Cheese. Super cheesy favorite. They made it right.

Their take on red sauce. It was a genius move to put some pesto on top.

Carbonara with Bacon Bits. It also have bits of gorgonzola but it went well with it perfectly.

For the mains, might I remind you to order rice. Not just any kind of rice but their DIRTY RICE!
It is so bad and wrong but good. Fried rice with all the chicharon to make it deliciously fatty.

Tipple's FRIED CHICKEN. Creamy sauce with some caviar. This dish is properly marinated and is a steal.

Don't also forget to try out their LAMB. This has the distinct lamb flavor and goes well with the salad mixture on the side.
The minty sauce makes the dish perfect.

To end the meal, we had the SMORES ICE CREAM SANDWICH.
Ice cream inside while graham crackers on the side. The marshmallow on top is just the icing!

TIPPLE and SLAW is the perfect place for a nightcap or a meal for lunch or dinner. Honestly, the prices are competitive with other establishment in the area. The food is superb and I don't mind that they have alcoholic drinks on the side too. Can't wait to go back.
