We almost missed Som's since we only went there with a "near Rockwell" address and a "near the residential area" warning. I was wondering if Som's will replace my current favorite, Thai Dara, when it comes to Thai food. Thai Dara remains unmatched although I found another dish I liked in Som's too.
Som's version is the concentrated and cheap one (at P40).
The Red Beef Curry surprised me. I hate curry normally but this one I won't argue and just eat this spicy goodness with lots of rice.
The Tom Yum was a tad too spicy that it was hard to taste the other flavors.
The garlic chicken was forgettable for me and had a small serving.
Lastly, the Pad Thai was too sour for me. I give this and the Tom Yum to Thai Dara.
Because Som's made me realize that I don't hate all curries, I would definitely go back for the Red Curry, the Iced Tea and to try other specialties. I would include this in my Guiltless List of Restaurants in Manila.
i have a love affair with Thai food, and it all started in Soms.
