Chok Dee Thai Restaurant at Burmah Road, Penang

Hello there you all. We realized that every time we post something up, it always starts with this kind of greetings. The kind where we haven't been here for the longest time already! Haha!

Well, since we've been gone for so long (actually not very long also right), we shall post on another of our all-time favorite cuisine! 

Yes, another Thai food post! 

Told you that we are big lovers of Thai Food. If we're both so busy with whatever things and you try to get us out for a night right, always use Thai food as the winning point. CONFIRM WE BOTH WILL SAY YES! Hehe.

We personally think that majority of the people in Penang likes Thai food. No, we don't have some kind of survey of whatsoever but it just seems like Thai food has been surviving for so many years here. As long as your price is reasonable and your food is good, sure got return customers. 

If your cook is from Thailand, most likely your Thai food will taste awesome. At least that's what we feel lah.

So, this place is pretty famous already. People know about Chok Dee Thai, Burmah Road. In fact, everytime you drive past Burmah Road, for sure got cars in front of the shop. 

The shop is quite small, so do make your reservations first if you're planning to dine in with a big number of people okay.

We enjoyed our time at Chok Dee Thai, Burmah Road with the company of amazing people. Thank you Judson Lim for the treat! Our lawyer, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, he's still available :))

Take note that the photos are all on large orders (bold pricing) and just enough portion for 5 adults :)

Tom Yum Seafood - RM 20/RM 31

He says: Pretty good! More of a lemak kind of tomyam =)

She says: When I saw the soup, I was like, "Confirm nice already!" and I was right! Milky and spicy!

Tofu Curry Paste - RM 12/RM 15/RM 20

He says: Thumbs up! Like the gravy. Very authentic thai taste to it.

She says: This was highly recommended by Judson himself so my expectation is like so high on this dish. First serving: LOVE IT. Second time: Hmm. Sill nice okay. Third time: Err.. starting to feel jelak d. But overall very aromatic and different.

Crispy marinated Pork Strips - RM 16/RM 28 

He says: A bit dry to me. But its not bad when dip into the thai sauce.

She says: If its crispierrr, then it would have been perfect! Quite a dry dish to eat with rice.

Salted Egg Squid - RM 16/RM18/RM 28 

He says: Not a big fan of salted eggs! A no no for me.. the squid is quite nice and chewy too!
She says: Love this dish! Salted egg dishes are always of prawns so this one with squid was actually really nice. 

Tub Tim Krob (water chestnut and jackfruit served in coconut milk) - RM6

He says: A little bit too sweet and the taste is a little bit weird.

She says: A bit too watery to my liking. Normal je.

Thai Food at BP Anjung Indah, Balik Pulau

This is a post super overdue! We have always planned to post this up few days after our special day but we never had the chance to as this year has been the busiest year ever. 

It's one of those place where we always drive past and said, "This place so nice lah. One day we come try okay?" and never actually remembered coming here to try the food.

Not until when we were scratching hard on our heads thinking of where to eat to celebrate our three years of date-ship. Then, both of us thought of this place somehow. We never knew the name of the place, not until after we dine there. You are very welcome :)

Those who drives to Balik Pulau a lot, like on a weekly basis, you would know where this place is although it's located on top of the entrance. So, you might not know that there is actually a restaurant on top, overlooking the always-forgotten-Balik Pulau.

Loving the view already yes?

Romantic okay?

Tomyam Seafood - RM28 (S)

He says: Love this one =) served hot and spicy!
She says: I loke creamy tomyam soup and this is just it. Too big for two of us though. Heh.

Green Curry Chicken - RM18 (S)

He says: The taste is really authentic! Very Thai.

She says: I love how much vegetables they put it in there. The chicken is bone-y if I may say. If they serve chicken fillet instead of those with bones, then I will love it a lot! 

Sizzling Bean Curd - RM12 (S)

He says: The Japanese tauhu is as smooth as criminal! Haha! Must try!

She says: This one for kids only lah! Kidding! It was his idea to order this by the way. Very soft and very tasteful. Yummy.

Deep Fried Fish (Siakap) with Pinang Sauce -RM40 (RM5 per 100grams)

He says: The sauce is really tasty. A little bit sour, sweet and spicy!
She says: So crunchy and huge for us! The sauce surprisingly very nice! I love this one!

Mixed 4-Beans in Ka-Pi - RM18 (S)

He says: Nothing special but still not bad.
She says: Best of all worlds okay. One of my favorites. The sambal very nice, not too spicy. 

It gets even more romantic at night and we didn't even have to spend few hundreds to enjoy this kind view :)

Famous Thai Food at Annathai-Kitchen Restaurant at Pulau Tikus, Penang

Dinner time with a few friends. Okay, not a few actually. I think it was like 10 of us or something.

As usual, we always struggle to decide where to eat, especially when you go in such a big group. So, her sister and brother in law suggested this Thai Restaurant at Pulau Tikus.

Almost immediately we both agreed and kee chiew! Hahaha.

You can either sit inside or outside of the house-converted-into-a-restaurant.

Our two guest judge for Annathai-Kitchen :)

Tomyam Kung

He says: Pretty good.. You can taste the richness of the spices/ingredient. Mixture of sweetness, sourness and spiciness.

She says: Nice. It's not too sour, not too thick or thin. Love this tomyam!

Rachel: I love it! Spicy and sour!

Kahwei: The soup taste great but needed more ingredient for it to be included into my list of favourites.

Signature Fish

He says: Normal fried fish only.

She says: Deep fried fish.. Hmm.. Normal le. The mango kerabu however is yummy. 

Rachel says: Normal deep fried fish with kerabu and another type of sauce. nothing to shout about.

Kah Wei says: Fish is not my "type of food". Look interesting though for having 2 type of sauces to your own liking

Phat Phak Liang - RM10 (small) / RM15 (big)

stir-fry vege (liang) with egg

He says: Just okay. Really.

She says: It definitely tasted better than it looks. It's quite a yummy dish. The vege somehow is quite special. One plate for me not enough. Hah.

Rachel says: Love this dish! The main reason I will go back to the shop! The fragrance of the eggs and vege is simply superb, with white rice..ooh la la! Oh..and the vege is not found here. Only found in Phuket apparently.

Kah Wei says: This dish is one of my favourites which lures me back to Annathai. Never fail i order the big size one with 2 person meal. No regrets!

Yum Khai Yao Ma - RM10 (small) / RM15 (big)

Century egg salad

He says: Highlight of the day! I think this dish is a must try here! My first time trying this and it is really really good!

She says: The sauce of this dish is superb. I don't love it that much but I don't hate it also. Quite neutral with this one.

Rachel says: Aanother must-haves for me! The combination of the century egg (imported from thai) and the onions, cili padi..NICE!

Kah Wei says: I usually don't long for century egg but this is a total different league of food taste and texture. This dish is a MUST and goes well as appetiser as well as part of your dish.

Kar Moo Tord - RM15 (small) / RM25 (medium) / RM40 (big)

pork knuckle

He says: The pork knuckle is good. The amount of meat and the 'bak eu' is just right. Nice!

She says: Teated pretty bland to me. Didn't really enjoyed this dish. Sauce also like not much taste. 

Rachel says: Not a fan of deep fried knuckle. Too oily for me. Sauce is oily as well.

Kah Wei says: Pork knuckle i only target for it's fats. Taste is good as well but didn't fit into my top 2 dish.

Thai dessert with coconut milk and water chesnut (Tub Thim Krob)

He says: Rich, u can actually smell the santan from a distance. Jkjk.. This one is quite good..

She says: Quite a yummy dessert. The santan is not too diluted or thick. Just ngam ngam.

Rachel says: Okay. Not bad. Wish to have more nangka though.

Kah Wei says: I'm not a sweet tooth person. So no comments.

Songkhla Kitchen at Abu Siti Lane, Penang

It's always an extra point/bonus that both our office is just walking distance from each other. Anyday, we would just call each other up and have lunch together.

We walked into this place which is on the same street she's working at and didn't know what to expect. They previously was another Thai Restaurant but changed to this one, Songkhla Kitchen.

We walked in and there were nobody there. Not one single customer. So, we just sat down and asked if they serve set lunch and stuff. So, from a dish that we choose, we just have to add RM3 to get a drink and a dessert.

The cheapest dish that we could choose for the "set lunch" was RM8. RM8 for just a plain rice with a side dish. Hmmm...

Orange Juice and Iced lemon Tea

He says: Not the real juice, its the one made using syrup.

She says: Bleh.

The appetizer with NO surcharge.

He says: This sambal is NICE. haha. because there is no bad smell to it.

She says: I DON'T like the sambal, because no belacan smell ehh. Belacan is the bomb la. Haha.

Fried Pork with Chilli Paste - RM8.00

He says: Hmm.. The portion is quite big but they could add more taste to it..

She says: It's quite bad. I think if I have and I know the ingredients, I probably can cook up a better dish. 

Fried Pork with Basil - RM8.00

He says: Its just okay..  Not enough spice to it.

She says: Not enough taste of the basil leaves. Not nice.

Yada Thai Cuisine Restaurant at Burmah Road, Penang

We just came back from Thailand! WHAT A GREAT MISSION TRIP IT WAS. We stayed with the kids in a Christian Orphanage and eat the kind of food they eat everyday. We are blessed beyond anything. Oh and we loved loved the food there in this land of sawadeekaaa! So, here another Thai food review on a Thai restaurant that just started not too long ago :)

This one is also, another online meal. This time through LivingSocial. 4 pax 5 course meal at only RM36!  Get to try new restaurant, why not! She has this habit of spending on these online websites. I have no idea whether its a good thing or not also. Oh well, as long as it's still under control, I guess. Haha. 

Anyways, we were there with her sister and brother in law over dinner and we ordered extra one dish as the set ones are pretty dry. Let's see what we both think of this Thai Cuisine Restaurant in Penang. I have to say that Penang is over populated with Thai Restaurants. You can easily find them at almost every corner in Penang. So, I guess, our standards for Thai Food is pretty high, considering that she loves LOVES Thai food and we eat them quite often. Haha :)

Very few tables set-up in quite a spacious shop. It's not that crowded for sure. 

Stir Fry Kangkung with Sambal

He says: Kinda like this one. Just nice and not so oily.

She says: For a kangkung dish, it's pretty sucky. Nothing unique/special at all. Quite bland too actually.

Spicy Jelly Noodles with Kerabu

He says: A mixture of spiciness, sourness and sweetness. Like this one although I'm not a huge fan of this dish.

She says: Love this dish to the max! It's sour and sweet and a lil spicy. Okay, maybe not a lil spicy. I think it's pretty spicy but it's sooo good! I think the fish sauce that they use in this dish makes it very yummy. VERY YUMMY!

Stir Fry Lala Clams with Special Sauce

He says: Hahaha lala! Just okay..

She says: Seafood lover, me! These clams are pretty okay. Nothing special too.

Fried Pork with Garlic

He says: I like like like this one.. Smells really good.

She says: Another favorite of mine. The garlic-ish sauce that accompanies the pork is super delicious! I didn't like the pork meat so much though. It's too hard. So hard to chew and swallow! Definitely overcooked!

Tomyam Seafood Soup

He says: Just so so.. Not creamy, sour and spicy enough as it looks.

She says: At first, it looks creamy and looks so good. But I didn't like it. I had like only less than 10 spoonful of it. Not spicy enough. Not sour enough. The tomyam taste to it is also so not there. BIG no-no for me.

Green Curry Chicken

He says: No no.. This does not taste like green curryy!

She says: This one has a very weird/unique taste. I don't even know if I hate it or love it. I think I'm somewhere in between. It's pretty nice. It doesn't taste like any normal green curry I've tasted.

Thab Thim Krop (Thai Dessert with Water Chestnut and Jackfruit)

He says: Love it! =D

She says: Quite nice. Quite only la. Nothing really great! I think it should be a bit sweeter! :)
