Authentic Thai food in PJ and it's halau. It's called Isan Thai Kitchen located in Arah Damansara. To me, it looks like a restaurant that you go for a casual lunch or dinner. Your friend, is this food gonna give you slay vibes? Feels like it. Drink review! I got the lemongrass. For me, it's good because it's not too strong. It's citrusy so it's refreshing. The Thai milk tea is standard. Got the milky texture and the tea is not too kau. Price also not bad. The food took 30 to 40 minutes to arrive but it could just be my situation. First dish we ordered is tom yum chicken. Ok la, this one I think the price matched the portion. Got a lot of chicken inside. Up to 4 packs also can. The rice got a toin-toin texture. The tom yum was good. Chicken is fresh and tender and the soup was pekat, sweet, tangy. Wah and the spiciness has a good kick. That's a big juicy bite. The kangkung blachan macam very expensive. It's a big portion la, almost half the size of my 4 arms. What a weird measurement! You see ah, I had to take 2 bites to really figure out the taste. It tastes like curry. I don't like this kangkung curry. This one they call the sotong kerabu or the lime steamed sotong. The squid was so fresh it's like they caught it on the same day and then when you mix it with the sauce, it's one of those when you bite it, you just go mmmmm. You know a food is good when you have a girlfriend that eats so little but can still say this. What? The biggest downside was the bill, it was almost 112 ringgit. Because of that and the kangkung curry we gave it a... That's just my experience la. If you want cheaper they got a la carte options. But if you want a separate dish and you don't mind splurging a bit for Thai food, it's a good option. So, I'll go back. Thank you. Here we go. Alright. Here we go. Here we go. What is the staring at?
