De Chiengmai Thai Seafood

In Sg. Buluh is a place that serves pretty good Thai food. Next time you are in the area, take a detour to De Chiengmai

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 Thai origins. They started out as a small restaurant and then expanded as they got really popular.

The restaurant is air-conditioned and there is an ample touch of Thai in their decor. The internal roof is beautifully decorated with Siamese umbrellas. Packed full after 7pm daily, waiting time can be up to 20 minutes for a table. So, how about the food, I hear you ask? Well, my friend and I sat down at one of the tables and ordered tomyam campur, ayam pandan, kailan ikan masin and a fruit juice to wash them all down. When our food was served, I was pleased that our tom yam campur came in a charcoal heated tin dish. This ensures our tom yam is kept warm longer which makes it that bit more delicious.


"The tomyam was a bit sweet and thick"


First impressions, the tomyam was simply delicious. A bit sweet, not too spicy and the soup is thick. The pandan chicken and the kailan ikan masin complement the tomyam and Thai rice very well. They prepare the kailan ikan masin with a lot of ikan masin plus the vegetables are also fresh and crunchy. The rice served is a mixture of Thai beras wangi as it is a bit sticky and pungent. The pandan chicken is a bit small though but still delicious.

Come dessert time, we ordered the Thai Style Sweet Porridge a combination of coconut milk, sago and keladi. We liked that one too. In summary, the food is great and worth it for the extra price that you are paying.
