Mama Thai Best Spicy Rice

Post by Chiefeater Lucia Lai

thai food at mama thai best. it looks like at the mama thai best restaurant, their list of menu has increased. the last time i was there in feb. 2023, not so many dishes to choose from. four days ago i went with a friend and found out so many food and drinks to choose from (that’s why i am showing the full menu.

the last time i went… actully 3 times and 1 time takeaway. somebody commented that pork leg’s rice is nice but since i don’t like pork leg i didn’t order it but recommend my friend to try it… he did. pork leg’s rice set RM12.90 – my friend’s order. come with the sauce as shown bottom

then for me, it was a toss between the tamarind prawns rice set and the shrimp tomyam rice set and finally settled on the latter. shrimp with other long beans or petai – i took petai.

‘phat phet’ – thai spicy rice set with shrimp and petai (RM13.90). the soup is different from tomyam soup but quite nice. i thought i read in the menu, there are long beans too but er… think i didn’t see the long beans. at first taste, i found the soup a bit sweet…. i don’t really like food (eaten with rice) that are sweet but the more i eat, not so sweet. it was quite spicy too. overall quite good

we order the papaya salad and fish cakes to be shared.
left: papaya salad. we want to order mango salad but not available so order this. not bad the taste but i don’t really like salad
right: fish cake. yummy! i like fish cake and usually at thai resaurant will look for fish cake. some restauarnt the fish cake not so nice. this one is very good.

left: my drink – thai coffee. first time trying thait coffee. it was good. comparable to latte
right: my friend order the lemongrass drink, with lemon and plum too.

the restaurant is small and cosy and usually not too many customers. i like i that way. it has a mini mart selling lots of stuff from thailand of course. i bought the thai sterilised milk (to mix with coffee but was told can drink the milk like that) and i was glad to find that they have paste/spices in small packs… just enough for one.
