Wan Thai Restaurant @ Kuah Town, Langkawi

During our trip to Langkawi,

the guys googled and found good reviews for a Thai Restaurant at Kuah Town.

Undoubtedly, Wan Thai Restaurant serves really authentic Thai food

which is nothing but a fantastic experience for all of us!

Located at Kuah Town, some may find the place hard to find,

but do try Waze, I believe it will get you there swiftly.

Their signature dishes are the famous otak-otak in coconut, 

pandan chicken and tomyam kung.

Aside from their popular dish,we also ordered the kerabu with cashewnuts, 

kangkung belacan, sambal squids etc.. 

I love their rice which is mould in a flower shaped bowl, and topped with fried onions.

Presentable entree before the rest of the dish arrives and blown us off!

I especially love how the spiciness is moderate that made we enjoy each bite

without being teary - unlike my experience at Khunthai.

Do not forget to order dessert! 

We had mango pulut and durian pulut... it was heavenly!

Although it wasn't the durian season, the durian served was thick and rich in flavor!

As for drinks, one of the best selection is their fresh fruit shake.

Try out their mango shake... feels like eating the mango itself! 

A satisfying dinner cost of only RM420 for 16 person (two tables).

Hope they'll open up a few branches here in Klang Valley... wootzz!!!

Cuti-cuti Malaysia @ Langkawi (part 2)

On the first day itself we went to the jetty where there are rows of counter offering services

to book for tours, car rentals, accommodation arrangement etc... It's like a one-stop centre!

After comparing the prices offered by a few shops, 

we settled with Green Ocean Holiday Sdn Bhd because the owner gave us quite a good price.

RM 80 for tour to Pulau Payar + meal.

So off we goooo!!!

Day 2 Highlights

~Snorkeling at Pulau Payar

~ Spectacular dinner at Wan Thai Restaurant @ Kuah Town (review here!)

~ Duty free shopping!!! 

~ Drink drank drunk episode at the beach

We are on gwiyomi fever!!! 

Snorkeling is fun, but not fun enough coz I intend to see more fishes.

Keen to learn diving soon so get deeper into the water and 

see with my own eyes the beautiful underwater creatures! 

1st photo : Cuts on my left foot that got me crippling for the next few days.
2nd photo : Simple but OK lunch provided in the package.
Each of us had a lunch box of fried rice, fried chicken, french fries, salad,
orange, canned ice lemon tea  and a bottle of mineral water.
3rd photo : Bruises on right foot (Aggie the lui sat sao punya pasal)
4th photo : How much the sun hit on my skin. Fairer area protected by wrist band. 

For the rest of the evening, we went for chocolate n liquor shopping!

For cocoa lovers who intends to grab your whole year chocolate stock,

some of the best places to get your duty free chocolates are... 

Coco Valley - our tour guy said they have got promos most of the time

Perniagaan Haji Ismail - they have got alot of branches in Langkawi, but buddy Rai advised to go to the bigger ones either in Kompleks Cayman or Jalan Pandak Mayah2  Kuah.

Eastern Native Duty Free at Kuah Town - this is the shop we went to.. 

Cenang Mall - the duty free shops have special items.. like mini Tic Tacs!

These mini Tic Tacs are at the size of my thumb! Super cute! 

Got our hands on duty free liquor and drinking sessions begins!

Photo of sober Joyce and later on... drunk Joyce. I love the drunk Joyce better. :P

Went to bed feeling a little tipsy... 

Although tipsy may not be the correct word for my friends to describe me that night... :P

Khunthai Authentic Thai Restaurant @ Klang (near Canary Garden / Parkland)

On the way to Banting from KESAS highway,

situated a new Thai Restaurant which is popular among foodies now.

Khunthai is not a new name to us.

They have branches in Kepong, Petaling Jaya, Butterworth and in the Penang island.

But... shame shame.. I've never tried it before.

This time around we decided to try out their newly opened branch at Klang.

It is after Parkland, same entry to Canary Garden.

The road entering to Canary Garden is pitch dark.

But it is reassuring to see Khunthai signboard along the straight road with palm tree on both sides.

Signboards showing Khunthai at 2km, 1km to 500m - to know that you are on the right track.

Arriving at the restaurant, you will be greeted by a kampung style pondok lighted with pretty small bulbs.

Accompanied with Thai songs that makes you feel like you're in Thailand.

Khunthai is popular for their grilled seafood too.

And this is where the grilling take place.

Spacious table setting at the restaurant.

Parents can enjoy their food while the little ones play in the kids section.

We are all set to see what Khunthai has to offer!

Oh yes the menu that shows varieties of Thailicious food!

Tomyam Mix Seafood soup is thick, flavorful and FIERY HOT!!!

I had it without rice - BIG MISTAKE!!!

The soup was burning from my lips, tip of my tongue, all the way to my tummy.

But there are plenty of seafood - the prawns and squids are all fresh and juicy.

Love the addition of oyster mushroom in the soup too!



Tomyam Mix Seafood (small) RM 20



Pucuk Paku Belacan carries the same amount of chili as the tomyam.

Belacan and chili fragrance has definitely add mark to this plate of vegetables.

But mind you, this is also VERY SPICY!!!



Pucuk Palu Belacan (small) RM10



Next on our order chit is the big combo plate of Steamed Squid and Lala in Lemon Sauce.

We should have pick only one instead of the combo plate.

The portion is way too big for us to finish.

The fresh lala and squid is steamed in lemon sauce.

It tasted sourish, and at the same time, SPICY!



Seafood Combo in Lemon Sauce RM30



We were contemplating either to order Green Curry Chicken,

but has then settled with Nameless Fried Chicken.

The nameless chicken is crunchy and seemed to be marinated with some spices before being deep fried.

Topped with fried onions, we were happily eating it, being the only non-spicy dish that night.

Look at Bernard enjoying the spiciness of the tomyam.

Took a puff from his ciggie and continue battling with the remaining dishes.

Barry was obviously sweating from the dinner.

Having spicy food every spoonful, this is a good exercise for him to sweat it all out!

Khunthai serves very good Thai food - just a little bit more spicy to my liking.

But those who enjoy spicy Thai food - this is the right place for you!
