In the bustling heart of MET LIVE mall, Pasay City lies a dining destination that promises to take you on a flavorful journey through Thailand’s rich culinary heritage. Mor Thai, a restaurant dedicated to the authenticity and tradition of Thai cuisine, stands out as a beacon of excellence for food lovers seeking a premium and genuine Thai dining experience.
The Essence of “Mor”
In Thai, the word “Mor” refers to a pot—an essential piece of equipment found in every Thai kitchen. At Mor Thai, this symbol of home-cooked goodness and culinary mastery has been transported to the Philippines, serving as the heart of a restaurant that prides itself on delivering the most authentic Thai dishes.
What truly sets Mor Thai apart is its unwavering commitment to authenticity. The restaurant employs Thai chefs who bring their expertise and passion directly from Thailand, ensuring that every dish captures the true essence of Thai cuisine.
Mor Thai’s menu is a celebration of Thailand’s diverse and flavorful culinary landscape. Here are some of the must-try dishes:
Mixed Tom Yum
A staple in Thai cuisine, Mor Thai’s Mixed Tom Yum is a symphony of flavors—spicy, sour, and fragrant. The secret lies in the handmade chili paste that is specially prepared and imported from Thailand, adding an unparalleled depth to the dish.
Papaya Salad
Known as Som Tum in Thailand, the Papaya Salad at Mor Thai offers a variety of options, each one bursting with the vibrant and spicy flavors that this dish is famous for. It is a refreshing, zesty dish that brings a taste of Thailand’s street food culture to your table.
Grilled Pork Neck
This dish is a true melt-in- the-mouth experience. The pork neck is grilled to perfection, tender and juicy, served with a special umami sauce that enhances the natural flavors of the meat.
Larb Moo
A quintessential Thai dish, Larb Moo is a spicy, tangy minced pork salad that is both refreshing and packed with flavor. The addition of toasted rice powder gives it a unique texture and taste that is distinctly Thai.
Prawns with Tamarind Sauce
Large, crispy prawns are paired with a sweet and tangy tamarind sauce, creating a dish that is both rich and satisfying. The contrast of textures and flavors makes this a standout on the menu.
Mango Sticky Rice
No Thai meal is complete without dessert, and Mor Thai’s Mango Sticky Rice is the perfect way to end your meal. The combination of sweet, juicy mangoes and premium Thai sticky rice is a classic treat that will leave you wanting more.
The restaurant also offers the option to adjust the spiciness of dishes or even make them vegan, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the rich flavors of Thai cuisine according to their preferences.
Refreshing Beverages
To complement the bold flavors of Thai cuisine, Mor Thai offers a selection of beverages that are both refreshing and unique. Their Lemon Tea and Lemon Juice are perfect for cleansing the palate, while red soda, iced pink milk, and iced green milk offer a sweet contrast to the spiciness of the dishes. These drinks can also be made less sweet upon request, catering to a variety of tastes.
A Golden Dining Experience that can follow you anywhere
The design concept of Mor Thai reflects the grandeur and elegance of Thailand’s golden era.
