Absolutely hot

This Thai restaurant can be found in almost all major shopping malls in the Klang Valley but I have never eaten there due to its price as I can find authentic and more affordable Thai food in Kuchai Lama. On this day, I was with 3 friends and so went along with their suggestion to eat here.

Glass Noodle Salad with Seafood - MYR17.90++ - add 6% GST and 10% service charge = MYR20.85 nett. Very, very spicy if you happen to bite on the bird's eye chillies. I made sure that there were no chillies in the portion I moved to my individual plate.

Stir-fried Hong Kong Kai Lan with Salted Fish - MYR13.50++ = MYR15.75 nett - I believe this is not quite a Thai dish as we can find it in most Chinese restaurants (my spouse just told me that we have to specially request for salted fish in Chinese restaurants as the default is to stir fry them with garlic only).

Steamed Siakap (Barramundi aka Asian Seabass) with chillies, garlic and lime sauce - MYR49.90++ = MYR58.20 nett. The fish is fresh and I like the tangy taste of the lime sauce.

A small portion of green curry chicken - MYR17.90++ = MYR20.85 nett. Very creamy, good to go with lots of rice. I did not order rice so I just ate a bit of this green curry.

Instead of ordering drinks, I got myself this bowl of pricey red ruby - MYR8.50++ = MYR9.90 nett. To be fair, it has many red rubies in it.

The place is nicely decorated but I find the place a bit dim although it has many different types of lights shining on the diners.

3-D photo frames of a famous drink's merchandise adorn a wall. I wonder why feature this particular brand?

This place should be quite familiar to many. This particular branch is located at Ikano.

      So you also have noticed them in many shopping malls. Since you always eat at home and cook lunch in your office then you don't need to eat out, much less here.

      Maybe you can try red ruby the next time you eat Thai food to see whether or not you like it. I like to eat mango sticky rice too.

    I remember this place is super expensive! Not this particular outlet, but the one in Johor Premium Outlets. Four of us ended up spending over RM 200+ in the restaurant. That was the only time we went.

      I looked at the prices at My Elephant Thai Restaurant and they are about the same so I guess the prices are about this range.

    Yes, Thai food is always expensive. I like the steamed Asian seabass too with the tangy flavours but cannot order coz my family don't like to eat steam fish :( And Red Ruby is my favourite dessert.....I always order that! :)

    Thinking of Coca-Cola, my hubby once told me Thai loves this drink. I think it used to manufacture in Thailand. So I guess why only feature this drink brand in this cafe.
