A Delightful Dining Experience at Aroi Makmak Thai Cafe and Restaurant
During our recent visit to San Juan, Siquijor, we had the pleasure of dining twice at Aroi Makmak Thai Cafe and Restaurant and it was an experience worth sharing. Located along the serene beachfront, this charming restaurant effortlessly combines stunning views with delectable Thai cuisine.
Upon our first visit, we noticed that the service was slightly delayed, which seemed to be due to unforeseen circumstances. However, any impatience quickly faded as soon as the food arrived. Each dish was a testament to the chef's skill and authenticity, brimming with vibrant flavors that transported us straight to Thailand. The Pad Thai, green curry, and mango sticky rice are absolute must-tries!
The restaurant's ambiance added significantly to the experience. With a prime location by the beach, we enjoyed the soothing sound of waves and a breathtaking sunset as we dined. The open-air setup and thoughtful decor created a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
We were so impressed with our first meal that we decided to return for another. On our second visit, we made sure to book a table in advance, which I highly recommend, especially if you want a spot close to the beach. It ensured a hassle-free experience and the best seats in the house.
Aroi Makmak Thai Cafe and Restaurant is a true gem in Siquijor, offering not only excellent food but also an atmosphere that elevates the dining experience. Whether you're a local or a traveler, this is a spot you shouldn't miss. Just remember to make a reservation during peak hours for the...
Read moreDining at Aroi Makmak was definitely a savory experience. It stood to its hype, and it did not disappoint. One of my current favorite food stops in Siquijor.
First off, we were given a great welcome once we entered the establishment. They were cheerful and really gave a positive vibe. The server was also very kind. She was able to answer the questions that we had and also gave recommendations. They were also very attentive. Their wait time was also accurate.
Now, the food was definitely delicious. It had the aroma, spice and taste you are looking for in Thai dishes. My favorite was the Pad Thai. It didn't matter if I was somewhat sweating from the spiciness of it, I was still eating because I really loved its taste (you can have a non-spicy option too if you want, I believe). The other dishes were also tasty. The servings were also big enough to fill your stomach and even share with others.
Aroi Makmak also has a great dining place. It has an outdoor seating where you can see the sea and somewhat feel its breeze. I do not know if it was because we were a large group (for a small table, but not too large for a large table) but our table was sort of crowded when the dishes arrived, so we were limited in terms of mobility. We were able to eat our food, so it was good, nonetheless.
Aroi Makmak is sulit and definitely...
Read morecame a couple of days ago and there was no empty tables so i came today early(around 15:00) to have something small and make a booking for the same evening.ordered papaya salad , sticky rice and a beer . papaya salad arrived but sticky rice nowhere to be seen for the next ten minutes so i asked the waiter and the rice arrived within five more minutes.then asked for a different beer (than before) and started eating already annoyed . no beer arrived and when i asked they answered that the beer that i wanted was not cold enough ,but nobody came to let me know . all this time the waitress was at the bar on the phone with i guess the owner going over the credit card receipts and cash receipts of the previous days ,all on loudspeaker .not very professional in my opinion …. the food was excellent but unfortunately i cancelled my booking for the same evening . what a pity …..the staff seemed like they did not really care for what they are doing ( except for the girl behind the bar who apologized nicely )
my honest apologies to all concerned but i think that problems that are not mentioned can not be solved .as a professional myself i would like to know all the problems of my business...
