What’s for lunch today…

I bought some of Stephanie’s very yummy mushroom pies for my friends to try and I dropped by here to pass some to Mary but she was out of town, in Bangkok. In the end, I just passed them to her very nice and friendly staff and asked them to enjoy on her behalf. Hehehehehe!!!! I did PM-ed her via Facebook to let her know and she asked me what I wanted from there. I told her that I did not want anything but knowing her, she would not take no for an answer and she brought these…

…back for me. Oooooo…I sure can’t wait to try them out now!!! Real Thai indeed!

I went to the restaurant…

…to pick up the goodies before noon last Saturday – they are open for lunch as well now, except on Wednesdays…

…not only for breakfast (daily)…

…and dinner (except Wednesdays too).

I was early, not quite noon yet,  but the nice Filipino guy there, Jun, said we could go in and have our lunch, no problem at all – the Thai chef, Jos, was ever ready to whip up anything that we fancied. It appeared to me that there were actually no lunch sets and we could order anything we wanted from their regular dinner menu.

I asked for a glass of iced water and they gave me a glass plus one whole jug…

…of it and it was on the house! Now, ain’t that so very nice?

Of course, we had their pad thai (RM13.90)…

…and while it was not exactly what we were expecting the last time we had it, this time, it was perfect…

…just like that first time when my missus and I enjoyed it so much and definitely very much nicer than what we had at that other Thai place in town…and yes, Andrew, they do have crushed peanut in it now.

That was their single serving but I do think there would be more than enough for two…or even three, if you’re ordering something else as well. In our case, we wanted to try the Chiangmai curry noodles (RM15.90)…

…to see what it was like and it turned out to be noodles deep-fried till nice and crispy, like what one would find in the claypot ones or what they do in the case of Cantonese fried noodles, served in a very nice green curry-like broth…

…with a whole lot of chicken in it. We enjoyed it a lot and because there was so much in the big bowl, we shouldn’t have ordered their fried kway teow (RM8.90)…

My cousin in Australia saw the photograph and said that the extra broad kway teow is something like the Vietnamese ones they have over there. Like our earlier orders, the serving was very big too and there was no way the three of us could finish all of it – that was why I asked Jun to put most of it in a doggy bag for me to take home.

Incidentally, if you drop by here and you see a sweet-looking girl who does not seem to acknowledge you at all – you can say what you want, you will not get any response from her…but try using hand gestures, they may work. She’s an OKU or an orang kurang upaya, one of those special people that Mary has taken in to help out at her restaurant – that is so very sweet and charitable of her to do that, really. As far as I could see that day, despite being orally and auditorily impaired, this girl did her work well.

That certainly was a delightful lunch and it sure goes without saying that we certainly would be back again…
