A couple of weeks ago, Ate Ria (my other sissy in law who lives in vietnam) came to visit us and (ironically) the first thing she started craving for when she got here was Vietnamese food. So we decided to hit Xoi Vietnamese Kitchen. I'm going to start organizing thoughts a little more with reviews here, so let me get to a more orderly start than usual.
Restaurant: Xoi Vietnamese Kitchen
Location: Corte De Las Palmas Extension, Ground Floor, Alabang Town Center
Price Range: P300-400 (Around P180 per dish)
Over-all rating: 3/5 stars
Goi Cuon This is basically the Vietnamese version of Lumpiang Ubod x the mexican burrito. It's delicious and definitely refreshing--the steamed shrimp goes very well with this too.
Cost: P100
Kropek appetizer! :) Always delicious and absolutely free.
Pho Hai San Pho is a Vietnamese staple, so of course we had to order this. The most delicious part of this dish were the mushrooms. This was very, very yummy! You can get this for P 180.
Pho Ga This is their Chicken Pho. Very, very delicious! :D This was the dish that we ordered for Dad--who we try to keep on a healthy, healthy but yumm diet! This dish was for P 175.
Spring Rolls. Definitely a favorite. This costs around P 150 and is very worth it. The sauce is delicious as well.
Bun Thit voi Cha Gio This is a combo satay and crispy roll. It was delicious and very refreshing! Somehow, the vegetables tasted really good and not overly leafy (if that makes sense haha). This was P220.
Thit Heo Nuong Xa This is grilled pork belly with lemon grass. While this sounds delicious, Mike had this and it wasn't too good (he should know because he loves pork). Nothing beats grilled pork liempo! This was P175.
Canh Ga Chien voi Toi Basically, your chicken lollipop. This was very good and worth the P175.
Overall, I'd say Xoi was an okay restaurant. It isn't the best--they have a lot of dishes that seemed a little overrated. Also, being from Vietnam, Ate Ria didn't seem to impressed; she said there were other more authentic places to eat Vietnamese here. Not bad, but not great either. :)
Hope everyone is having a good Friday! TGIF!!!
