Sbarro

After so many weeks of dreaming of their deep dish pizza and eggplant parmigiana, we finally decided to eat at Sbarro's. The restaurant is well cared for and clean to the dot. Regardless of the fact that the diner itself wouldn't compare to the branch at SM, it was above my expectations.

This cafeteria-style eatery had a brightly lit area where pizza and pasta are lined up for the customers. An assortment of dishes, sauces and sidings are neatly presented on the trays while courteous employees smile at you while waiting for you to pick what you like. What I love about this restaurant is the availability of a big oven for cooking and heating pizzas.



For lunch, we had the Chicago deep dish pizza with white sauce and extra cheese, Meat delight pizza slice and Meat lasagna that comes with small piece of garlic bread.

The meat delight pizza is topped with bacon and pepperoni over a thick layer of melted cheese. The Chicago deep dish was ok and is better off eaten while hot because the cheese hardens and eventually making it less appetizing and less delicious to munch on. The meat lasagna however, isn't even close to getting recommended. It was slightly dry and had very minimal cheese in it (mostly tomatoes and tomato sauce!)

Royal Krua Thai

Last night while we were at SM, we discovered that our favorite Korean restaurant closed down for good. Granted it was late and mom was hungry, we settled for the next best thing: Royal Krua Thai. The place improved since my last visit here, particularly the ambiance of the restaurant.


We were seated near the scenic view of SM Sheraton (Radisson Blu) and its magnificent free flowing fountain up front. Interestingly, instrumental Thai music played softly in the background that completed the whole Thai dining experience.

For appetizers, we had a platter composed of Por Poa (shrimp spring rolls), tod mun goong (fish and shrimp cakes), gai hor bai toy (deep fried chicken in pandan leaves) and nua thod jim jaew (thai beef jerky). For the main meal, we ordered chicken fillet in red curry sauce, ka moo pa-lo tod (thai-style deep fried pork leg) and the staple soup, tom yum goong.

The dinner was pleasant enough for all of us, and the curry was specially delicious (despite that the chicken was filleted). The best order award goes to the pork leg with the distinct sauce that came with it.

Verdict:
A: 3.8/5

I'm not satisfied with how authentic their dishes are. After tasting their Pad Thai before, I am confident I can cook better than them. Also, their portions are small and expensive.
