That night, at our dinner at my friend/ex-classmate, Robert’s house, they were talking about the tod mun pla or Thai fish cakes here and I kept forgetting to order those past few times I was here so the other morning, I made it a point to drop by.
I loved how they rolled the serviettes and had them standing in a glass like this…
Very nice!
Of course, I had to have the tod mun pla (RM10.90)…
…according to plan. They were quite big, around the size of a drink coaster and yes, we did enjoy it very much. I could detect the nice taste of the fish and I did not think there was much flour, if any, as the texture was very different from those regular fish cakes or fish balls, definitely not so soft and wobbly. I loved how they were bursting with flavours, all the herbs that went into the making but if you are no fan of daun ketumbar (coriander leaves), then you should ask them to leave those out.
This special dip…
…that came with the fish cakes was really good and sure complements them so well.
To go with those, I ordered the pad thai, small (RM13.90)…
…which we had had a few times before and loved very much and actually, the serving is always so very big, more than enough to be shared by two…
…and that would have been quite enough already for our brunch but I really wanted to give those fish cakes a try.
I wonder if there’s anything on their menu that I haven’t tried yet. I hear the tom yam goong‘s good and I can’t remember having that before – I only had the white tom yum or tom yum pla, with fish so maybe, I’ll have that next time.
