Why enjoy one single thing when you can have two at the same time?
Purple Rice in Glorietta 2 introduces an elevated dining experience that combines the fusion of both Thai flavors and Filipino food styles with a curated menu fit for a royal’s meal.
Starting with its interior, the newest branch of Purple Rice at Glorietta houses a contemporary vibe with a homey Filipino feeling in a relaxing mix and match of warm lighting, soft touches of greens in foliage and tiles, woven rattan, and accents of royal purple.
Then, there’s the food. Purple Rice is best known for bringing “a taste of Thailand” in the Philippines with their versions of the popular Thai dishes such as Pad Thai, Mango Sticky Rice, and Tom Yum Soup.
For the Glorietta branch, two exclusive dishes are added to the menu: Curry Crab & Roe Claypot and The Crying Tiger Angus Steak.
The Curry Crab & Roe Claypot boasts a hearty meal served in a traditional claypot with sweet crab meat and rich crab roe over Thai-style egg fried rice and an aromatic curry sauce. While The Crying Tiger Angus Steak steals the show with its Smoky grilled rib-eye served with Nam Jim Jaew, a Thai dipping sauce.
Familiar drink choices are also part of the must-try choices, including Coco Pandan Latte and Coco Pandan Black Tea Soda, Passionfruit Basil Black Tea Soda, Sea Salt Latte, Espresso Coke Float, Matcha Strawberry, and Ube Latte.
The Thai-Filipino roots have always been a big part of Purple Rice’s overall concept, bringing a dedicated dining experience closer to the hearts of Filipinos. In authentic Thai food offerings to Filipino twists, the restaurant extends beyond being a commercial space but also serves a warm and homey “hapag ng Pinoy” feeling.
“Purple Rice Royal at Glorietta takes our roots of Thai flavors and Filipino warmth, elevating it in a space we created for guests to enjoy dishes they know us for but discover something new on the menu, and make the restaurant part of their everyday occasions, from lunch and dinner to an afternoon coffee break,” says Alyanna Sia, Director of Hospitality, Purple Rice.
