Khun Tai Restaurant

It's been a while since I constantly updated this blog. Even bumped into CK Lam the other day and she did comment why no updates. Well actually she came up to Ed and Me and asked if we were Ed and Cher. For a second there we were blank, then the word blog came in and everything came in place. It was exciting to finally meet her in person as I am one of her devoted readers. "CK Lam nice to finally meet you"




Well anyways, back to the post. It is about the Thai food restaurant called Khun Tai near Raja Uda area in the mainland. My colleagues and I did a cari makan trip there last weekend. Place is huge I must say and the atmosphere there is as if you are eating in a hut- Atap roof, bamboo chairs and table.

There were 8 adults and 3 children, and this was what we ordered.



Tom Yam Seafood
It was really red looking so I stayed away from it. Colleagues said it was good.

Below is a dish which the guy called it 'Superstar' But in the bill it is called Seafood Steamed Lemon. It consist of crabs, tiger prawns, squid and lala in a sour-garlic-ish gravy. It was superbly good and superbly pricey. This dish cost us RM 241


Superstar Dish RM 241- See how huge the prawns are!!!

Otak Otak RM 20
It came wrapped in the aluminum foil. It had alot of pieces of squid, fish, prawns and mussels in it. It was good.


Pandan Chicken
It had its own unique taste. Had a a lot of sesame seeds in it. It was good also

Steamed fish in Soy Sauce RM 162
The gravy in this dish was excellent. They even poured another bowl of this gravy for us half way through. It is not spicy, but a very strong intense taste and it is a bit sour.


Pineapple Rice RM 10
Rice was served in a Pineapple. Good food presentation. But am not sure if they recycle the pineapple. Rice was strong in spice taste.


Belanchan Rice RM 12
This was pretty good. The pork served in this dish was absolutely good.

Deep Fried Kangkung RM 6
This was disappointing. Kang Kung was just fried in batter. There were no dried shrimps or cut chilli or any garnishing with it. Was not tasty enough.

Fried Kangkong in sambal RM 6
This was normal for everyone. Besides this vegetable dish we also ordered Fried Kailan in Oyster sauce RM 8.

Below was a new dish for me. It's called Geoduck- a large edible saltwater clam. It was huge. Served raw, you are suppose to eat it with the sauce provided- Wasabi or sweet spicy sauce. I braved myself to try this out, took a slice an never took again. Had a very strong fishy taste. But my colleagues enjoyed it. I guess I am no raw food person.

Geoduck served with ice

This is what everyone was eating
Chicken and Cauliflower
I did not try this dish as was so busy digging in other dishes. So I do not know if this was good.

Below is the group of us pigging out that day. Another spot to add to our Eat and Enjoy Club founded by these two fella on leaft and right below. Big time Cari Makan Dudes.





Picture below is how the Geoduck looks like. It does not look appetizing at all. I cannot believe I actually ate this creature.

This is the fish which we ate. Pretty ugly looking

So with all we ate, the total damage came up to RM 684.50. Everyone's eyes opened widely. But it was a good lunch. Good place to go again if I happen to be around that area.
