Guava

Photobucket
Wanted to celebrate my birthday with my favorite Thai dish, so far only to be found in Thai at Silk, only to discover that they had taken the item out of their menu. Ended up celebrating in Guava and had (no pictures today):

Mongonisa
Nothing spectacular except for the Longganisang Lucban included in the dish.

Ginisang Gulay in Bihod Sauce
This was very very good. You could not taste the bitterness of the ampalaya in the dish. I could not have enough!! Bihod is fish roe (like Pinoy caviar I guess)
We had initially wanted the 3 mushroom and Kesong Puti Quiche (was excited about it) only to find out that they had run out of kesong puti.

Milk Fish Bellies in Guava Broth
The broth was very good! The veggies in the sinigang were a bit too little though.

Lamb Kaldereta
This was also very good. The shank was very tender. Went well with the olives in the dish.

Service was a bit slow, the place is indeed very cramped. It was also odd that they didn't have ORs yet. They gave us our bill in an index card!!

Not the best place for celebrations but would definitely come back.
