Thai

I was parched from walking around in the sun so I ordered the Peturi drink, said to be cooling and refreshing. It’s a drink made from blended pegaga, cucumber and calamansi. I enjoy the herb taste akin to fresh cut grass and the slight sour tang from…   More »

Folks, set aside your presumptions, I certainly did when I headed off for Jalan 5 off Jln Chan Sow Lin. With China Press on my right I hunted for the grimy landmark along a small river. Voila, the rubbish heap next to Sg Kerayong is there and I subsequently…   More »

Chun Buri Restaurant

Thai

Move over Vicchuda, the glory days of the humble Kelantanese-Thai restaurant are back! These small unobtrusive 'tom-yam' shops seemed to prosper long before the age of the 'MAMAK', with humble premises but quality food. Alas! Today's family owned Tomyam…   More »

After scouting and sampling a string of dismal imitations, I was resigned to relegating Petaling Jaya to the Siamese food drought section. Until a fellow foodie finally pointed me in the right direction - Section 17 it is! My Elephant is located in a…   More »

Amarin means Heavenly in Thai. In this 'Heaven', the interior flooring of this restaurant is parquet and its windows overlooks the Federal highway. However, you can see also see the sky. Amarin is situated at Megamall Mid Valley but don't let that stop…   More »

Thai

The first thing that I noticed is that the restaurant is surrounded by roadside stalls but De Chiengmai itself is anything but a stall. It's rather a beautiful restaurant in the middle of nowhere. De Chiengmai is a family owned business of Malaysian and…   More »
