Along Dr. Lozano Street in the Tomas Morato area of Quezon City lies Thaipan restaurant, which I understand is a sister restaurant of the Romulo Cafe. As the name suggests, the restaurant serves Thai food that is tasty and not too spicy, just right for my taste. The restaurant has been fashioned out of a 60s residence, and I liked the good use of mirrors and glass panels to make the place look spacious. Very modern interiors, which would not even suggest that the specialty would be Thai cuisine. We had dinner with Anita and the kids, and as we arrived at 8pm on a Friday night, the place was already quite full. Vicky and Anita ordered several specialties--shrimp cake & lumpia for appetizers, pad thai noodles, chicken curry, cinnamon pork, pandan chicken, bagoong rice, fish with tamarind sauce, roti with prawn sauce, and the much-loved takoh rice & tapioca cake for dessert. I found the cinnamon pork done much like the New Orleans style, and I couldn't help but wonder about the similarities of the two cuisines. All in all, we had a great dinner, which came to around P600 per head. Not bad for our Happy Friday routine!
