Tommy Thongchai is an urban Bangkok Cafe located in Jaya One, which is a popular shopping and chilling-out complex in Petaling Jaya. With things coming back to almost-normal, Jaya One is fast regaining its regular crowd. Tommy Thongchai serves a good selection of western-Thai food on its menu. Popular Thai favourites like Pork Knuckle Rice, fiery Tomyum, Pineapple Fried Rice, Chiangmai Sausage and Moo Ping are among the more popular Thai dishes served. We tried their Seafood … [Read more...]
Festive Buffet Dinners at Eyuzu, Eastin Hotel Petaling Jaya
It’s December and almost every hotel in town has lined up special festive feasts for Christmas and New Year. Brain-stormed and concepts prepared months before, buffets and set meals menus are offered with special items included to bring out the festive cheer. If there’s one buffet I would go for, then it has to be a Japanese buffet. Eyuzu, the Japanese restaurant in the Eastin Hotel, Petaling Jaya does offer a pretty extensive range. Eyuzu serves its popular Shumatsu Buffet Dinner on … [Read more...]
Fa Ying @ Paradigm Mall – a fresh new interpretation
Since Chef Paphatson Singhakhat joined Fa Ying several months ago, their kitchen has been bustling happily with the sounds, sights and tastes of their signature dishes being given a refreshing boost.

Well, for the new dishes, guests will have to wait till September when they will be unveiled. Recently, I had a … [Read more...]
PLOY Specials 2013
We reviewed Ploy way back in August 2011, soon after it opened. As a restaurant that prides itself in reinventing modern Japanese and Thai cuisines, it has tantalized many a taste bud since then. Almost two years since it established its niche in Damansara Heights, its ultra-cool retro-chic interior still retains its charm while the menu has been enhanced with some new items to cater to the ever-changing palettes of its patrons. The current menu has seen some new additional offerings since … [Read more...]
Golden Orchid Oriental Thai Cuisine @ Damansara Jaya, Petaling Jaya
There’s been quite a buzz in the quieter side of Damansara Jaya recently with the opening of Golden Orchid Restaurant. Barely a month old, the restaurant serves Thai cuisine with some Chinese and Malay twists. To start off our meal with a real kick, we had the Seafood Tomyum, which as you can see, was served piping hot. Priced at RM25 for a small portion, the tomyum had all the right flavours balanced out very well. Yes, I’d say there’s a shiok factor to the soup and it didn’t … [Read more...]
Fish Farm Thai Restaurant, Ampang
The official name of this place is Fish Farm Thai Restaurant but many reviews and posts have added an extra “Vegetables“ in front of it, hence your Google search on this place will pop it up as “Vegetables Fish Farm Thai Restaurant”. That’s really a more apt name because there are sprawling vegetables plots in this place, besides the fish pond. In fact, once you enter the property off the Hulu Langat Road, you will be greeted by the vegetable beds on your right even before you see the fish … [Read more...]
KomPassion Thai Fusion Food, Damansara Kim, Petaling Jaya
KomPassion is the latest Thai baby in the quiet suburb of Damansara Kim and has been quite the talk of the town lately. We bumped into the owners, Desmond Wong and Tan Huat Jin (who are brothers-in-law) when we dined in KomPassion recently. Desmond and Tan have teamed up with Chef Nikom Uatthong to set up this restaurant. We’ve heard how KomPassion has been touted as being an offshoot from another well-known Thai restaurant chain but according to Desmond and Tan, the only connection to that … [Read more...]
Cakes Galore in Fa Ying by Rama V
Things are getting sweeter at Fa Ying these days. Recently they have brought in a cake counter and you can now enjoy some delicious home-baked goodies if you are tired of the usual Thai desserts. Not that those are not good… I’m saying if you feel like having some cakes and tarts for a change, the selections here are worth trying. Banana Cake Supreme (RM12) The triple-layered Banana Cake Supreme with a topping of Caramel Ganache is deliciously moist and soft. Unlike some other places … [Read more...]
Fa Ying @ Paradigm Mall – modern Thai cuisine
I was told that Fa Ying means “princess” in Thai and by that you would nod your head once you know that it is connected to that Thai fine-dining restaurant in Kuala Lumpur called Rama V. Yes, Fa Ying in Paradigm Mall is under the same management as Rama V – people who love and understand Thai food and want to bring Thai cuisine one step closer to the dining public. Whilst Rama V serves authentic traditional Thai cuisine in a more sedate classy environment, Fa Ying on the other hand is clearly … [Read more...]
Sanook Bistro & Sports Bar’s New Menu
Tucked away in the heart of Kelana Jaya is this sprawling laidback place called Sanook Bistro & Sportz Bar overlooking the lake. When you are in Sanook, you totally leave behind the hustle bustle and horrific traffic fumes of the LDP and you can almost feel the stress eroding from your soul as you relax and gaze at the splendid lake view and the twinkling shimmers dancing on the water. I was told “sanook” means “fun” in Thai and I guess that is exactly what the owners intended this place to … [Read more...]
