my dad tried to make reservations for 830pm but the person said no need, just walk in. so we decided to just try our luck. and as usual the place was super packed >.<
and then when the person asked if we made reservation, my dad just told the guy off. i mean they did not even allow us to make reservation in the first place!!! so we decided to wait awhile for a seat. it was quite frustrating really. thankfully they gave us a seat in 10 minutes time.
there was another family who apparently made reservations but the people did not have a seat for them. and they were pretty angry. i think cos there are 3 numbers on the card, 3 different ppl taking reservations. so if there is no co-ordination..then everything will be messed up. this is the only major flaw this restaurant has.
Pandan cooler rm3. Refreshing, sweet and has a nice pandan tinge, the biji selasih adds a nice bite. something i can replicate at home. hehehe
anyway...this place is simple and very stylish. a bit cramped but very cozy. sorry its abit devoid of photos and the photos are of bad quality but its the best i've got (long story) but you can check out other blogs for photos that will definitely make you drool. lol
menu is quite extensive, chicken, soups, appetizers like salad and mix platter, duck, yummy curries and much more. they also have set lunches on weekdays that i think is very good value
they place banana leaf on each rice platter. the rice (brown rice + jasmine rice) rm2.50 per person (free flow) is healthy and yummy, something like the glutinous rice texture but less filling.
my elephant platter (rm22) comes with assorted finger food like fresh popiah, fired wanton, spring rolls, fish cake etc. so we can sample everything. served with yummy thai chili sauce
jungle vegetable (rm12) belacan style. this is very yummy.
best dish of the day goes to.....GREEN CURRY CHICKEN! (rm 15)
absolutely delicious!!! smooth creamy and fragrant. excellent with rice, i've never eaten so much rice for a long time. with generous amounts of boneless chicken chunks. highly recommended!!
last but not least, the tom som seafood soup (rm 20) one of the house speciality. slightly different
from tom yum soup cos its not so rich. Packed with a variety of seafood, this dish is superb. soup is spicy and sour and very authentic!

sadly they don't serve desserts. dunno if they ran out of stock or they just don't have it anymore. what a pity :(
well, it was definitely worth the wait although it would be fantastic if they could smooth out this problem as I'm sure they had to turn away many hopeful patrons. hmmm..not to good for business rite. but overall, a nice place for yummy authentic affordable Thai food!
