Krung Thai: Marikina's Hidden Gem

Hiya, guys!

Last Friday was a random no-classes day for me and BF so headed down to Marikina's town center (bayan) to rediscover the city's best-kept secret -- Krung Thai.

BF has already taken me in this place, but we never got the chance to try out their food until now. And they look promising based on the reviews on this restaurant.

For the uninitiated, Krung Thai has been in its present location at the Marikina Public Market for years now. It is established by a Thai local who moved to the Philippines several years ago.

It really is Marikina's best-kept secret because it's situated in the city's public market. Here in the Philippines, you'll rarely find restaurants like this in public markets. Another restaurant, Johnny's Fried Chicken, is also located in this market beside Krung Thai.

 We arrived there late in the afternoon, so it was getting dark at that time. Because of that, the interior of the restaurant was a little dim, save for the colorful lanterns that light up the restaurant.

But the place where we are seated was bright enough for us to appreciate the entire restaurant and the view outside it, which was a mini-monument of a shoe with a digital clock installed in it.
