This Friday, me and Kenny was headed to Kuchai Lama, planned to go Torazou Ramen, but Kenny claimed that the ramen we tried before was better than this restaurant. So, we walked around and found a signboard written Thai Kopitiam, sounds interesting. We decided to give a try!
We were there around 9pm and didn't notice their opening hour was till 10pm until the staff who passed us the menu told us they were having last call order. Well, can I take this as non welcoming greeting?
We ordered Somtam as starter, Tomyum soup, Belacan Fried Rice, Pork Leg Rice and Tub Tim Krab as desserts.
Tub Tim Krab (RM 6). A small cup of colorful red rubies in coconut milk was the first dish served on our table. The most reddish red rubies I even seen before I have to say, the entire coconut milk turned into pink when we mixed red rubies and ice...
The water chestnut was not nice at all as it's coated by mushy tapioca flour. While the sweeten coconut milk was too thick and sweet. The portion was too small with the price they charged.
Somtum (RM 6.90). Green papaya salad, refreshing and sour. The salad came with generous amount of shredded carrot, shredded green papaya, green beans, tomatoes and some peanuts.
The taste was okay but the proportion of ingredients was imbalance. I am not sure whether this is vegetarian somtum, as I didn't see any dried shrimp in the salad.
Tom Yum Soup w pork (RM 12.90). This Tom Yum soup was sour but non spicy. Generous portion of pork slices given in the soup.
It's not taste alike authentic Tomyum soup. But I would say this soup suitable for people who have lower tolerance with spicy food.
Pork Leg Rice (RM 9.90). We were WAO when we looked at it, but disappointing when eaten. This dish was served in non-warm condition, it's cold. =.=
Pork meat was too lean, it's dry and not juicy. Although generous amount of gravy and pork meat given, but the taste was not okay. The hard boiled egg was cold and really hard. The only thing we satisfied was the generous amount of vege.
Conclusion: Disappointing.
Belacan fried rice (RM 8.90). Kenny was disappointing with his fried rice. Non aromatic at all. The pork meat at side was cold and hard.
Chilli sauce. Sour and non spicy.
Lemongrass water (RM 3.50). We ordered Pandan Leaf water but we dunno why we served by lemongrass water. It's sweeten and barely can taste lemongrass. Just forget about it.
The table infront of the shop which selling some snacks and BBQ meat.
The service here was sucks. Staffs here were from Myanmar, while the boss and chef were from Thailand. Training and briefing the minimum level of service standard and manners was urge needed. Even there were still some customers sitting and eating, we don't mind if the staff came and asked us to pay at 9.40pm, but at least leave us to finish our food asap rather than kept on collected our empty plates and standing or sitting in front of us. A couple who came at 9.30pm was rejected by the staff because she said they were closing. =.=
Not to forget, once we stepped out of this restaurant around 10.10pm, the roller shutter door was immediately closed right behind of us.
Conclusion, I won't ever step into this restaurant again. Lousy food and very lousy service. To be frank, the food was totally a failure and barely can say that this is Thai food.
