Last Sunday, we wanted to eat out so we headed to Powerplant Mall in Rockwell to try a new restaurant. We spotted a neat Asian restaurant with nice interiors, so we decided to give it a try. The name of the place, Wild Ginger – The Southeast Asian Table.

I really like the ambiance of the place. It was peaceful and cozy, even though it felt like a marketplace outside.

The food is also quite good. I was transported back to my trips in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia, with just the aroma of the dishes we ordered! It felt so nostalgic, I wanted to visit those countries again!

We only ordered three dishes, since there were only three of us. Haha.

The Pad Thai is not sweet compared to other Thai restaurants I’ve tried here in Manila. I wanted mine spicy, just like the one I tried on Khao San Road in Bangkok, so I poured chili powder all over it. Then it was perfect!

The Indonesian Beef Stew is also something I recommend! It’s so flavorful, you could consume 2 cups of rice with it. The sauce is very rich in both texture and flavor, you could end up licking your bowl upto the last drop. Haha. I’m kidding – it’s a little oily so you must have rice with it. Haha.

The last one we ordered, which I didn’t really enjoy because I hate Pesto, was Grilled Tuna with Asian Pesto. It came on the must-try list so we ordered it. We should’ve tried something else!

The place is reasonably priced at around 250 – 350 per order. So, if you want to try new food other than the usual Japanese, Chinese or Filipino cuisine, head on to Wild Ginger! They can be found at the lower ground floor of Powerplant Mall.

After eating, there was a Taho stand outside, which I thought was the perfect way to end the Asian dinner! 🙂

It’s a bit more pricey than the usual Taho (you’re in Rockwell after all) at 30 pesos, but it’s worth it!

I’m bad at food reviews but hey, no harm in trying. Haha! First of many food reviews in the future! XD
