Earlier this month, SM Fairview has formally launched the second Annex 2 section of the mall. Although it had a soft launch and opened since early last year with some shops, it’s now brimming with new establishments from food spots to designer clothes and boutiques.
And of course, NomNom was happy to see a wide array of food shops with varying choices including Panciteria Lido, Army Navy, Big Better Burgers, Krispy Kreme and grilled servings from Taipan Grill .
My Thai Restaurant
Experience a flavorful Thai home cooking at My Thai located at the Ground Floor of the SM City Fairview New Annex. There’s even St. Clare international culinary school to complete the foodie complex.

I’ve tried the meat sauce and pesto variant. I didn’t like their pesto that much (that night), but the meat sauce was good. 🙂 However, I observed the sauce getting sparser as I reached my third serving (or maybe it’s just me). [I’m not ranting , ok, the third serving was still good, taste-wise] 🙂

When I discovered Ravioli early last week, I knew I found my first feature-to-be for my new and yet to be created food blog – Nomnom Club. Similarly, Ravioli is new having just started mid of this year.
Ravioli
It prides itself in serving fresh pasta even with the fast-food serve set-up amidst Robinson’s Galleria foodcourt. And indeed, serving freshly made pasta matters in the taste and the resulting firmer texture (al dente).
This was particularly true for the Chorizo and Tomato Ravioli that I had. It was a chorizo-stuffed square-shaped ravioli in tomato sauce. It’s their best-seller and I knew why. 🙂
A bite on the first piece of ravioli reveals the juicy spanish chorizo and the subtly soft pasta. The tomato sauce was good as well.
At P130, it certainly was worth it.
Chorizo and Tomato Ravioli
A trivia about the Chorizo and Tomato Ravioli– the number of pieces is counted as standard for consistency in serving. 🙂 The non-ravioli pasta are weighed. This includes the spicy Shrimp Diablo (P95) and Bacon Carbonara (78) which I also was able to try.
Ravioli's Shrimp Diablo
Ravioli in the Making
One would also notice top of the line cooking equipments in their open kitchen. My friend said that this is so because one of the owners is actually a chef who would settle for no less than quality equipments.
Bacon Carbonara
With the minimal and humble space, they churn up the freshest of pastas around.
The order is served fast but their food is prepared fresh and only cooked as ordered.
The tasteful experience was just far from foodcourt standards.Surely, I’ll be back to try the other interesting menu items.
The Mushroom & Mozzarella Ravioli on the menu board looks good. 🙂
Mushroom and Mozzarella Ravioli
Lastly, good news for people from the south where Robinson’s Galleria is just too far, Ravioli is opening a bistro in SM Mall of Asia come December 2009!
They’re even expanding their menu to include Pizza de Pugon. Nomnomnom! 🙂
Goodness of Fresh Pasta
Jeff, Ravioli's Pasta Maker
Business looks good and growing for Ravioli. Hopefully, same bids for Nomnom Club. 🙂 Woot! for my first feature post! 🙂
