Gotta go…

I had to go to this café again as the Thai lady chef would be leaving by the end of the week and I would like to try some of the other items on the menu while I still could…and besides, a friend of mine in the same line of business in Kuching was interested in getting her to work for him so I wanted to get her contact and other details for him and let them get in touch with each other to discuss and negotiate.

This time around, we had the phad thai goong sod (RM12.00)…

…which was very nice but I thought it was rather pricey as even though there was enough for the three of us, the serving was kind of small. Ah well, it didn’t really matter much as the most important thing was that we enjoyed the authentic taste of the popular Thai specialty…and since the chef was leaving, we would not be having that again or not so soon, at least.

My friend said that we should try the papaya salad (RM4.00)…

…and we did. It was all right, a tad too sour for my liking and I would prefer mango but unfortunately, they did not have that. That evening, there was another table of diners there – they seemed to be having some kind of celebration and I saw a big, very impressive-looking dish of Thai dessert being served – with durian, mango and pulut (glutinous /sticky rice). I asked the girl at the counter and she said that they brought their own fruits and the chef specially made the dessert for them Tsk! Tsk!

We also had the tom yum nam sai talay (RM25.00)…

…which we all liked but this was definitely too expensive as even though it has seafood in it, there wasn’t very much really but I did appreciate how they went through the trouble of stuffing the sotong (squid) with a bit of chili like this…

Nice!

The khai jeaw (RM8.00)…

…was as nice as any omelette could be and anyhow, I love egg in any form and I thought that was nicely done and Melissa enjoyed it too.

She wanted the spring roll so we had the por pia goong (RM5.00)…

…and it turned out that they were no ordinary spring rolls. They had fish paste, prawn and sotong (cuttlefish) and whatever else inside…

…and boy! It was really very good!

I thought this was inexpensive – RM10.00 for 10 of their goong choop paeng tord…

…just RM1 for one fairly big prawn, and they were very well-done as well.

Once again, the general consensus was that the Thai meal was indeed delightful though I wished we had had the Thai green curry again. Melissa and I thought that was simply awesome and liked it a green deal…and as we were leaving, we were already thinking as to when we could drop by again to savour more of the exqusite Thai cuisine one last time.
