Food Post: DekA Thai Food

01.20.2012 by Leah // 3 Comments

For the longest time, AJ and I have been planning to try this Thai resto along Pablo Ocampo Road, which we pass by on my way to and from work.

Finally, last Saturday we chose to have our dinner at DekA (pronounced Dek-A) because I really miss Thai food, having been to Bangkok ages ago.

The place is kinda small but cozy.

They have benches (instead of chairs) adored with these Thai triangle pillows.   And look at those buddhas printed in tarp!   They’re pictures of the towering buddhas found at the Wat Phra Kaew Temple of the Emerald Buddha.

I love their Thai iced tea.   Kinda sweet for my taste but this one has the right mix of tea and milk, not too bland nor with too strong tea flavor.

We ordered Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodles with prawns) which is so good(!)  I think I could finish this whole serving myself.   They’re also very generous with the shrimps and didn’t use organic ones.  We’re very happy with this dish.

We also tried the Pad Bai Gra Prao (chicken meat with fresh chili and Thai basil leaves) and I don’t know if it’s just me but I find it too salty.   The taste is just okey, nothing extraordinary.

Of course, a Thai dinner won’t be complete without the Moo Satay (marinated pork skewered on bamboo and served with peanut sauce and cucumber salad).   The pork marinade (which I think is flavored with coconut cream) is something new and interesting.

I’d say my food choices for this meal weren’t “adventurous” enough to truly enjoy Thailand’s best dishes.   But we’d love to go back to DekA  anytime for their Pad Thai and Thai Iced Tea.   The other dishes didn’t really impress us – but maybe a bowl of Tom Yum would, next time.

If you are craving for authentic Thai food that’s affordable and freshly cooked, go check out DekA located at 245 Pablo Ocampo Road, Corner Flor Deliz, Makati City, Philippines.   It opens at 11am-2pm and 5pm-11pm.   You may also want to check out their Facebook page here.

UPDATE!  DekA has a new home!  Come and visit it at 5887 Fermina St, Corner Enriquez St Kalayaan Avenue, Poblacion, Makati.  For reservation, you may call 500-5933.

    I love Thai food in general, but most especially pad thai and Thai iced tea! I’m always on the lookout for these hole-in-the-wall Thai places because some of these small restos are more authentic than the popular/expensive Thai restos. Will check this out if I’m in the area, thanks for sharing!

      How about Jatujak? Have you tried that? They have branches at Megamall and MOA but we never get the chance to try it out, yet =)

    […] Sen Lek Thai offers authentic Thai cuisine at budget meal prices.  Their menu reminded me of DekA Thai Food which AJ and I have tried early this year.   I’m not exactly a fan of Thai foods but I do […]

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
