Siam Thai BBQ & Sports Bar brings the traditional and authentic Thai Mookata-style dining experience to the metro, giving diners a whole new and refreshing way to rediscover Thai cuisine. The first in Manila, Siam Thai BBQ & Sports Bar is another flavorful destination in the bustling food scene of Kapitolyo. Read on and take a tasty peek at some of Siam Thai BBQ & Sports Bar's signature dishes...

Thai cuisine is known for its seamless blend of contrasting flavors, with sweet, sour, salty, and refreshing bitter notes capped by a soothing layer of heat in one dish. And that's what you get at Siam Thai BBQ & Sports Bar. Start with a refreshing noodle salad, the Sotanghon Salad (P 200), with soft vermicelli noodles, peanuts and fresh vegetables drizzled with a tart fish sauce and lime-based vinaigrette...

...or the equally refreshing Papaya Salad (P 160) with its more pronounced, sharper and spicier level of heat to temper the tart sweetness of the papaya. The fresh salads open up your palate, with its full range of bold flavors.

Not to be missed is Siam Thai BBQ & Sports Bar's Thai-Style Pomelo Salad (P 160), with fresh cilantro, peanuts, red onions, and pomelo combining for texture and flavor...

...and the traditional Pad Thai Noodles (P 220), with soft yet firm flat noodles topped with shrimps, peanuts, fresh herbs, ground peanuts and chili. The freshness of the ingredients and the blend of distinct flavors combine for authentic Thai flavors, and you can enjoy your Thai feast in a cozy and casual setting at Siam Thai BBQ & Sports Bar.

And it's a sports bar, so why not have a few rounds of beer, like a refreshing Heineken Draft Beer (P 75/ 230 ml) to pair with your feast. You can also find premium imported beers like Kirin, Tiger, Asahi, Singha, Stella Artois, Corona Extra, Sapporo, Hoegaarden and local craft beers too, including Englishman in New York and Rolling Fog from Baguio Craft Brewery, and Endless Summer Wheat Ale, Procrastination Pale Ale, and Elementary, English Ale by Pedro Brewcrafters.

Pair your beer with authentic Thai staples, like the Crispy Fried Catfish with Mango Salad (P 190), with the clean notes of crisp catfish flakes tempered by the tart mango salad for balanced flavors...

...and the Chicken Pandan (P 200), with the delicate flavors of the tender and juicy chicken capped by a lightly crisp outer layer punctuated by a whisper of sweetness from the pandan and the sharp chili sauce.

Then, it's time for the Mookata, and grilling fresh ingredients right on your table. The Siam Thai BBQ & Sports Bar's signature Thai BBQ Set (P 390), with fresh shrimps, beef, pork, chicken, scallops, kani, enoki mushrooms, noodles, and fresh greens, is the perfect set to get acquainted with Mookata-style dining.

Your table-top burner is fired up, and the special dome grill, with its distinct grooves, is ready for grilling. A light chicken broth is poured on the side of the dome grill, perfect for simmering the fresh vegetables. And as you add the meat and seafood on the dome grill, the rich and succulent juices flow down the grooves to enrich the flavors of the broth. 

In just minutes, the high heat transforms the colors of the fresh ingredients, releasing a fragrant aroma. A quick dab of pork fat on the surface of the grill prepares it for the next round of grilling.

As the fresh meat and seafood are grilled, the chicken broth surrounding the dome grill simmers with the fresh vegetables, enriched by the savory juices from the meat and seafood flowing down the grooves. Siam Thai BBQ & Sports Bar serves a sweet and a spicy Thai-style chili sauce for the grilled meat and seafood, but if you want it fiery hot, go for their green chili sauce. A bite of the freshly grilled shrimps, followed by a spoonful of flavorful broth, just perfect. That's the Mookata-style dining experience, only at Siam Thai BBQ & Sports Bar.

Complete your feast with Siam Thai BBQ & Sports Bar's Seafood Mix (P 450), with shrimps, mussels, clams, squid and sweet corn draped in a thick, sweet and mildly spicy chili-egg sauce, perfect with steamed white rice.  You can also opt for a rich curry egg sauce with its medley of spices.

Siam Thai BBQ & Sports Bar also offers affordable Lunch Sets featuring Thai and Asian flavors served with rice and a refreshing Thai salad like the Lap Tofu (P 160)...

...and Chicken Green Curry (P 160) for that perfect mid-day meal. The wide variety of tasty Lunch Set options also include Beef Broccoli, Chili-Egged Shrimp, Pork Belly with Garlic, Chicken Lollipop, Sweet & Sour Fish Fillet, Sotanghon with Pork Belly, Pork Fry with Tonkatsu Sauce, Beefy Egg Don, Crispy Fried Kangkong, and Pork Minchi Potato Croquette, all reasonably priced at P 160 for excellent value.
