I feel terrible when I pay for a dish I find “meh” or worse… “blargh”. I had
that sentiment last Friday when I had lunch at a ramen place in Rockwell.
The broth had a very odd taste and the appetizer we ordered was too salty. It’ll
take me a long while before I decide to visit that place again. The only perk I
got from the lunch was when my colleague mentioned a list of restaurants I have
to try. One of the restaurants she mentioned was Wild Ginger.
Hello, Wild Ginger!
I always pass by this restaurant and
it never really made me curious as I only see a few people eat here. But since
my colleague mentioned that this quaint restaurant serves good food, I had to
give it a try.
R was indecisive that night so I
ordered for the both of us: Pad
Thai (PHP245), Thai Green
Chicken Curry (PHP285), and Asian Tomato
Soup (PHP135). I also got a glass of cold Calamansi
juice (PHP75).
I was a bit iffy to order the tomato
soup as it mentioned “spices from the East Indies” but I assumed that it
wouldn’t be spicy.
WRONG. It was so spicy
that it made me cough and tear up. People who love spicy
dishes would like this though.
