Nakhon Kitchen! I like!

*zHigUo + xiNhUi = kUkU & LaLa *

Yesterday was a rainy cold day. I didn't felt like going out to walk walk, after all my "holiday" will be over in 1 more day. The cold weather made me crave for Kovan's Laksa, so Baby and I headed for dinner at kovan during evening time.

But before we reached there, baby was craving for Thai food, and he remembered that his colleague recommended a thai reataurant located behind Superbowl. The exact location of the restaurant is actually next to the Indian Muslim coffee shop, along the stretch where Macdonalds is. Quite confusing with the way I describe, but anyway the restaurant name is Nakhon Kitchen. Although I was craving for Laksa, and usually I wouldn't give in until I get what I want, thai food was my ultimate favorite, and the thought of tom yam soup just makes me salivate.

So, of course I had to go with Baby's suggestion, and boy did we found the real 'treasure'! Nakhon Kitchen... their sign board says "bringing you authentic thai cuisine". It is a small restaurant opened by real Thais, from the chef to the waitress, and the decorations and music brings me back to the days we spent in Phuket and Bangkok. Their service was very good, and the ambience was nice. It was full house when we reached there, which made us feel worthwhile to change our dinner plans of Laksa, to this fully packed thai restaurant.

We ordered the food that we were more familar with, firstly it was our long missed Green Curry Chicken that we ate during our trip in Phuket. Than we ordered Kang Kong cooked in Thai style, and not to forget, my favorite, Tom Yam Seafood Soup!


Green Curry Chicken

The green curry was as delicious as what we ate at Phuket, very rich in flavour, and we can taste how fresh their ingredients are. A must try, and don't be frightened by it's color.

Thai Style fried Kang Kong, with garlic & chilli.

In the past I thought I would only like my Kang Kong with Sambal Belachan, but this dish proved me wrong, it was very very nice too! Very suitable as a dish with rice!


My Favorite, Tom Yam Seafood Soup!!

Lastly, my favorite soup!!! Tom Yam!! They had two choices for all their soup, the clear version and thick base version. We chose the thick base version this time round, and it was yet again, very very nice! Next time we are going to try the clear base version and compare which is nicer.

We did order dessert but were both too full to eat it after our sumptuous meal, so we Ta Bao our Sticky Rice with Mango. It was very nice too but I forgot to take a photo before Baby and I gulge it up.

Overall, I'm really glad that we made this new discovery. The food were all of genuine ingredients, as comparede to Thai Express, Nakhon Kitcneh was much much better. Baby said Thai Express put alot of MSG in their food, that's why we always feel so thirsty after eating there. But at Nakhon Kitchen, it was totally different and we did not feel thirsty after eating all those food that was rich in flavour. Their prices were much more affordable as compared to other thai restaurants, and their food really genuinely GOOD!

Nakhon Kitchen is my new Favortie eating place for my favorite thai food!!! Yipee!!
