The city’s Thai restaurant of choice, People’s Palace Thai, serves a small but delectable menu of classic dishes like an amazingly fresh prawn, pomelo and coconut salad and a superb phad Thai. The drinks list, on the other hand, is extensive, with ice teas and tisanes, herbal and fruit tonics, cocktails and floral concoctions. In the evenings, ask for a seat outside and experience the buzz of Makati while you eat.
