If you are an Iliganon, then this should look awfully familiar to you. Yes?
Okay… I hate to break it to you but Club Thirty is now no more.
What used to be the only fancy club in Iligan, where all the young elites used to go, is now a “restobar” that serves Thai food.
Its interior has been extended to accommodate more people inside and revamped to suit to the Thai theme.
Apart from that, nothing drastic has really changed except for their menu of course. They now serve a plethora of drinks and only a handful of food.
I’d guesstimate that the ratio of drinks to food would be 70-30 respectively.
Maybe they’ll add more food items to their menu in about three months.
I believe it was just the other week when my boyfriend and I just went there for some chow. Down below is what we had for a late night dinner…
In the foreground is Chicken with Cashew Nuts (I’m not sure about the name of the dish; I’ll look it up soon) and Spicy Shrimp Salad in the background.
We just gave Chicken with Cashew Nuts a try, albeit it sounded a bit unusual and strange to us because we are adventurous like that. Glad to say, no regrets. It was good. The flavors are a bit over the top though so it is highly recommended that you should eat it with some rice.
Here’s a closer look at the Spicy Shrimp Salad…
Trivia: Iligan restaurants usually don’t devein shrimps.
So the very first thing I noticed was that the shrimps were deveined! A major plus! The shrimps were tender and had that unique tangy (?) taste which I can’t seem to put my finger on.
By the way, is it wrong of me to think that “spicy equals to hot” and vice versa?
The Spicy Shrimp Salad didn’t have that kick of heat that I was expecting it to have. Yes, it did have that tiny hint of heat but it’s like almost infinitesimal. If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t really enjoy eating spicy food, this is perfectly safe for you to eat.
So those are the only ones that we were able to try so far.
I love the fact that their service is astonishingly quick and their staff is absolutely friendly.
Would I go back there for another dinner soon? Yes, I would.
