There are few reasons why i particularly like to visit small Thai restaurants/outlets anywhere i could find but in shopping malls. One of them is that these restaurants tends to have more authentic Thai food with heavier taste and aroma.
I love South East Asia food. Thai food being my fav after Vietnam food.
We were searching for some this evening and bumped into this recently opened restaurant in Kepong. Located just behind Carefour and near Metro Prima along the stretch of countless shops and dining outlets.
Restaurant Krua Thai – bad pic.
Besides the hideous painted wall behind, the place was not bad. Fairly spacious. Good service. Most of the staff speaks Thai and understands little English so i presumed that the owner is a Thai.
Look at the ugly wall behind…aiyo
The menu was extensive. Many many selections but we ordered only the tomyam chicken and chicken in pandan leaves *having a small stomache sux! It turned out to be quite a large porportion for the two of us :).
Menu with so many choices…flip behind for more!
Hungry!!! Gimme gimme gimme!
Uhm… the serving of rice wasn’t much. Don’t be fooled by my photo. The bowl is super small. I think a regular guy will have to order about 3 servings of rice.
Big? No no. Small!
The tomyam soup was extremely sour *yummy!
I had never ate so much chicken at once in my life. Six pieces of the chicken in pandan leaves and damn alot of chicken in the tomyam soup. I repeat ‘damn alot’.
Omg! Chicken fest
Speaking of ‘damn alot’, the coconut meat was really thick. Thailand have great coconuts… *err somehow that doesn’t sounds right… Anyway, i spent about 20 mins scooping out the meat.
See the thick coconut meat
We spent:
Tomyam Chicken – RM20.00
Chicken in Pandan Leaves – RM10.00
Coconut – RM3.50
Rice – RM3.00
Chinese Tea – RM0.50
