One Friday, before we explore the night life scene of Poblacion, Makati, we tried Crying Tiger Street Kitchen. A restaurant known for serving cheap Asian street food.
The restaurant’s interior was pretty basic and has a vibe of a small road-side restaurant or carinderia. There’s a bar and few tables indoor and several small tables outdoor. Also, the grilling area was just next to the table with a bench in the photo below. The restaurant is 100% al fresco dining.
Crying Tiger Street Kitchen offers a wide spread of Southeast Asian dishes that covers appetizers, grilled cuisines, noodles, rice meals and vegetarian options.
We went and tried Pad Thai, Chicken Satay and Char Siu Pork Plate.
Pad Thai is a staple in Thai street food. It is a stir-fried glass noodles wrapped in egg. One of the best Pad Thai I’ve tried.
Their Chicken Satay is charcoal grilled upon order. One serving consists of 5 pcs chicken satay, peanut sauce and cucumber salad.
Char Siu Pork Plate or the Asian BBQ Roast Pork is made in the traditional way. Marinated for 48 hours and grilled in a Chinese smoker.
We wanted to complete the experience with a Mango and Sticky Rice. Unfortunately, it was not available during our visit.
To summarize our Crying Tiger Street Kitchen experience, I really liked all the food we’ve tried. Based on the taste, you know that they prepare the dishes the authentic way – no food presentation needed. If you are craving for some Southeast Asian Dishes, I would definitely recommend Crying Tiger Street Kitchen.
Recommendations: Pad Thai.
Tip: Crying Tiger Street Kitchen is also a bar. Did you know that Local beer here is cheaper than soft drinks. Best place to eat and load up before partying in Poblacion.
