Khuntai, Revisited

After we had an amazing dinner, we came in again on the next day ^^ for more tomyamliciousness :) yay!!!
This time the post will be just about pics. So, feast your eyes ^^


simple restaurant, a hidden gem ^^


i dont know what this is, looks like some thai handcraft ;p


inside looking out :)


ung-mung omelette (i think ;p) i think the name speaks for itself


fish in thai sauce


their secret: charcoal to keep the food hot


the reason we keep on coming back :) seafood tomyam


a plate of vegie a day, keeps the doctor away ;p

this time, lunch came for 4 came at 64RM. still a bargain! with so many delicious food. you really cant argue on the price :)
btw, the fish is amazing. the thai sauce gives off sour taste. maybe it's tamarind? but, i'm definitely digging it! and the service? wow!! there's a waiter standing by near the table to make sure that the fish dish is not dry... so, he keeps on pouring in the sauce :) i'm totally hooked!!

Khuntai Restaurant

Finally got the will up to try out this restaurant. I usually frequent the mamak which is 2 shoplots away from this thai restaurant. And on each visit to that mamak, this restaurant was always crowded. So on this rainy evening, I managed to drag my 3 frens to try out this unfamiliar restaurant. After all, this is what floggers do, rite? :) and what could be a better remedy to a runny nose than hot piping tom yam soup? so, off we go...

hmm... will try to get better pics next time...

it looks like normal mamak stall. or perhaps ordinary taichow. I will try to get better pics next time. It's kinda hard to get good pics during rain and a runny nose ;p hope dat didnt spoil any mood... cos here comes the food pics ^^

...the foods...

there were only 4 of us. so, we order the prawn fritters, chicken in basket, a plate of veggie and the not to be missed, tomyam soup. the one and only reason i came here ;p they have quite an extensive menu ranging on seafood mostly, fish, sotong, prawns. and this is a halal restaurant. so, have no fear :) i will definitely come and try their fish next time. looks quite convincing enough ^^
food came pretty fast. we only waited around 10-15 minutes. but, once one arrive, the others arrive too almost at the same time. this is a good sign of a good dining experience :)

the verdict? i am definitely loving the tomyam soup. spicy enough to make you sweat, but not too spicy to make your tongue numb. filled with pieces of prawns, sotong and fish. it certainly is worth 18rm. and that is only the small portion.

the prawn fritters are prawns coated with batter filled with spices and then deep fried until they are crispy. yum... no need to use hands ;p they come with thai chili sauce that is spicy, sweet and sourish at the same time. simple and wonderful.
chicken in basket. pieces of chicken cooked with dried chilis and some other stuffs that i cant percieve due to poor lighting and slightly numbness of tongue ;p and afterwards topped with nuts. served on top of deep fried noodle that is shaped into a bowl.
the veggie. erm... i hope someone can tell me the name of the vegetable. i'm bad with vegetable names ;p it is cooked with garlic. kinda plain tasting if compared with the other dishes which are rich in fragrant.

all in all, it's a good dining experience. will definitely come back. and i will definitely get better pics next time. the bill today came at RM64 for 4 person including 4 orders of chinese tea ice and 1 pat poh herbal tea (which tasted like cincau syrup, but minus the cincau. is that how it is supposed to taste?) and that makes 4 happy and satisfied customer. even one of my colleague who didnt enjoy spicy food is found gorging at the tomyam ;)

1st posting :)

After a long dread to start my own food blog, i relented. and here i am to join the community of floggers, if the community wishes to accept me ;p lolz

anyways, this is my first post. found this place from other flog that i've been keen on reading.

the place is called FSF, Famous Seremban Favourites Restaurant. it's a rather tucked away place in sunway mas commercial center (tucked away or it is me who rarely go there? ;p) anyways, it didnt take long for us to get there. Been there once, so the area doesnt feel that distant to me.

to the point, this seems to be the best selling thing here. personal note, upon arrival, my meal company noticed that there seems to be quite a lot of aged people around. to me, that's a good sign of a good restaurant with homey feeling kind of food :D table setting is your normal kopitiam setting. plastic tables and plastic chairs.
















the legendary charsiew and siewkai

what you see here is the post trauma product. we were dead starving when we get there that we almost completely forgot to take pictures of it. hence, the outcome. i hope you can still see the char-siew and siew-kai. the verdict? well, it's good. not the best char-siew i've had. nonetheless, it's good. with enough stickiness and good sauce. or gravy is more appropriate? anyways, i would rather get my char-siew fixes from meng kee :) closer to home. teehee hee...
















hakka mee

good noodle, but somewhat lacks some substance to make it stand out. it's just an okay noodle.
















char-siew wantan mee

it is quite good actually. perhaps, some of the best wantan mee i've tasted so far. they use the same charsiew for wantan mee and chicken rice tho :) i think that's what's famous here (and perhaps in seremban too ;p) and almost on every table, i see people ordering an extra plate of charsiew to go with whatever they're having, be it hakka mee or wanton mee. the hakka mee is supposed to be the best seller here. (pssttt... try having the hakka mee mixed with a lil bit sauce from wanton mee ;p tho that means you must order anutha portion of wanton mee, if you're eating alone. if not, let your spoon fly to your mate's plate instead)

one portion of charsiew, siew kai rice, wanton mee and hakka mee along with 3 drinks, the bill sums up to about 5rm per person for 3 person dining. decent price :) one thing worth mentioning is the ordering system. it seems the boss has taken it all up to himself to take the orders and billing, too. seems to me like it was too much to handle for him. not to mention that the restaurant was almost full house when we eat there on a saturday afternoon. so, be prepared to wait a while before he can actually come to take your orders :)

they are supposed to have good fishball too. never got the chance to try that. perhaps on 2nd visit? i will probably go there again. teeheehee. that is if i ever get the will up to drive there again. another thing to note, you can see that the char-siew here is utmostly famous. cause when you walk in, you can see strands of char-siew hanging at the front of the shop. must be their best-seller!!
