Best Thai food

Pen down this popular hot spot in Kuchai Lama for authentic Thai food. The spacious venue is complete with an extravagant koi pond, quirky signboards and several karaoke rooms! Get the party started with the succulent marinated BBQ Pork Stick (RM4) or the silky Pad Thai (RM11) with tofu cubes and tender chicken slices. If you're with a big group, consider their seafood options to share. We recommend the Grilled Fish with Salt (RM55) and the Steam Squid with Lime Sauce (RM27.50), best enjoyed with a steaming bowl of rice. Pro tip: Head down before 7pm to beat the buzzing dinner crowd!

Venture into this restaurant situated along Jalan Batai for modern Thai cuisine. Start your meal with a plate of spicy and refreshing Papaya Salad, filled with chopped raw papaya, dried shrimp and crushed peanuts. Keep the heat going with the sweat-inducing Tom Yam (RM20), or the rich and creamy Green Curry with Chicken (RM28). Order the Pineapple Fried Rice (RM24) – a perfect companion to the curry that sees fluffy yellow rice topped with runny fried egg and cashews. Cool off after that spicy meal with the Mango Sticky Rice (RM18). Pro tip: Pop in between 11:30am to 2:30pm for their value-for-money lunch sets!

Find this hidden gem tucked away along Jalan Helang Merah in Kepong (clue: look behind the bushy trees and spot the lilac-coloured walls.) Ask the friendly staff for recommendations or opt for the crowd- favourite Otak-Otak (RM25) that comes in a Thai coconut, chock-full with prawns and squid laced in the creamy otak-otak. Also good is the juicy and fragrant Pandan Chicken (RM20), Paku Salad (RM15) and the Kerabu Mango Salad (RM15). Wash it down with a creamy Thai Milk Tea (RM7).
