Malaysia Food Blog – Apple Foodees

I was having my exam last month and like everyone else, I didn’t have the mood to eat. All I can think of is to get my stomach filled and to continue studying until the day of my exam. But VK told me that if I want to do well in my exams, one of the most important thing I have to do is to make my stomach happy. “What will make your stomach happy if not for good food”, he says. And so, very reluctantly, I grab my gears and we head on to Thai Garden Village.

As it was the first time we were at Thai Garden Village, we ordered their restaurant favourites – steamed lala. The lalas were imported from the Phillipines, and I got to say that this is the best steamed lala I’ve ever tasted. It was really fresh and tasty. Thai Garden Village is very generous with their ingredients, look at the amount of garlics and gingers on our lalas.

Claypot Crab with Vermicille is one their recommended dish too. The crab is so huge that it was crammed to fit the claypot. This is the biggest crab that I’ve eaten. It was really meaty. The only down side to this dish is that the vermicille was a little bit too salty towards the end.

Kang Kung belacan – one of the best that I’ve ever had.

Barbeque Squid was a little bit rubbery. I didn’t really like it because it attracts a lot of flies to our table.

I have to admit that I never ever thought of visiting Kuantan at all. To me, Kuantan is just a stop to get to Cherating, Tasik Kenyir, and other attraction on the northen east of Peninsula Malaysia. This year, we decided to visit the popular place to watch the sunrise, Bukit Panorama, located close to Sungai Lembing in Kuantan.

Well, it didn’t went well that day as it was the monsoon season, and we ended up cancelling our hike up the hill as Sg. Lembing was overflowing. It flooded part of the town. For those who do not know, Sg Lembing is located 40km away from Kuantan town. So if the news reports that Kuantan is flooded, it could be only Sg Lembing is flooded and not Kuantan town itself.

Well, lets get back to our food review. This time, we had the opportunity to dine in one of the best Thai food restaurant in Kuantan, the Wan Seafood & Tomyam Sara Thai Kitchen.

As access to a very good fresh stock of seafood is easily available in Kuantan, it is a norm for tourists to hunt for seafood here. Well, what other better ways to enjoy seafood other than to enjoy it in a Thai restaurant. The food here is considerably cheap. A lot cheaper than in Kuala Lumpur! Not only the food is very affordable, it is delicious. Curry Squid @ RM6.

Seafood Tom Yam @ RM6.

Malaysia is one country where you will find no trouble getting delicious foods from around the world. And even with the vast numbers of restaurants to choose from, there are still many more yet to be discovered, such as Yee Wen’s Tom Yam Thai Foods in Kepong. I’ve got to say, I wouldn’t know this place even existed until VK told me about it. So much so for a girl who had lived here for most of my life.

I find it quite unusual to find tempura-styled dish in a Thai restaurant. I mean, is this a Japanese dish or a Jap-made-Thai dish. Can anyone help me with this? This dish is priced at RM15.
