Thai food has always been one of my favourite, mainly because my taste bud is skewed towards sourness, one of the main traits of Thai food. The thing is, most of the Thai food that I’ve eaten were mostly in Malay restaurant, and although they are quite good, it wasn’t as authentic. However, this Authentic Thai in Bandar Bukit Tinggi is the real thing. I mean, real Thai. Heh.
This place is so authentically Siamese that it is oozing Thaism! The waitresses speak Thai and the dishes were named in Thai with English translation. To top that off, the portions are dainty and there are vegetable carvings as dishes decorations.
This time round we came with mum, and sis wasn’t here.
Fried pork ribs. Mum said that we must order this because I might not be able to eat rice if there is no pork dishes.
Sotong fritters with fried garlic. There were no vegetable carvings this time. How disappointing! I must get those pictures of the previous visit from sis and post it up.
Stir fried mixed vegetable. The usual fare. Nothing out of ordinary but it was done just nice.
Seafood tomyam. They put in almost everything! Like, umm, prawns, squids, clams and fish(ball)s. The tomyam soup was tasty, with just the correct amount of sourness and spiciness.
Authentic Thai is an average family restaurant serving authentic Thai dishes. (Doh!) Their pricing is affordable, which is a good thing because I still have a lot of dishes on the menu that I haven’t try. I’ve forgotten whether we need to pay for tax or not though.
Next time, maybe.

I was hanging out in the house doing nothing. Actually I was waiting for my aunts to go shopping, when my aunts suggested an afternoon snack in Bandar Baru Klang’s Kopitiam before crossing over to Jusco. I grab my new camera along to play abit. Heh.
Bandar Baru Klang’s Kopitiam is one of the many varieties of Kopitiam franchise that serves traditional kopitiam fare such as toasted kaya and butter bread, kopi-o, a variety of local food as well as a little bit of Hongkie and western stuffs.
As it was just for tea time and not wanting to spoil dinner, we didn’t order much.
Just some fruit rojak with extra peanut toppings.
A bowl of curry noodles. Is it called laksa in the southern states?
And some kaya butter toasts to go with the coffee.
My cousin having some toast. That cheeky fella drank the whole glass of my lemon honey when I didn’t pay attention!
They have this dangling stuff suspended from the ceiling. Kinda nice when those paper mache sway gently as the fan blows. The interior is decorated ala old style kopitiam too, just that with the additional air conditioner it feels so much better than old school.
Usually guests at las vegas resorts are those who are on a long over due vacation. The trip usually comprises of expensive connecting flights, prior bookings and long stays. On the other hand, frequent travelers are more seen on cheap cruises. They find cruise vacations more fulfilling. These are the ones found in rental cars. Sometimes, reluctantly though, they are also forced to take up discount flight tickets.

The pictures in this shop are taken without flash, so its a little bit on the dark side. I like the teacup design.
Ocha, the standard drink in any Japanese style restaurant. They have it hot. Real hot. Blek.
Some condiments, which I think are seven taste red pepper, chilli oil and white pepper, along with shoyu peeking from behind the green bottle.
Daddy’s black stir fried pepper udon. A bit too spicy to our liking. I ordered gyu niku ramen (as always!) and it was kinda ok, with beef slices, veggie and some naruto slices. I don’t really fancy those narutos. I am a real meat fan.
I think this place is not too bad, although the service needs improvements.
