Jing Thai, Seri Kembangan

RM20 vouchers for RM10.  From online reviews, the food seemed good and reasonably priced. Boy, was I in for a surprise.

Entrance to the eatery 

P2251733

Just right after the entrance there is a bridge.  Don’t let the pebbled path fool you.  You’ll need to watch you step - the place is littered with dog poo!

P2251739

View from main entrance to parking area – the restaurant is surrounded by a light industrial area and some heavy machinery.  The gravel path and dog poop is all around.

The menu

Some of the dishes (and prices)

P2251741

Otak-otak – I don’t know how this can be considered authentic.  This dish was spongy and felt as though it was reheated straight from the freezer.  If there was fish, I didn’t taste it.  The ‘rempah’ was bland.

P2251744

Mango chicken – fried and dry.

P2251750

Fish cake – just doused with mayonaise.  This dish was almost RM20!

P2251746 

Shrimp fried rice – no other than the usual yong chow fried rice. Again, I question authenticity of this ‘Thai’ restaurant.

 Salted Egg with Squid

Salted egg with Squid – this calamari was rather tasty and crispy.  There wasn’t much salted egg in the dish but sufficient for the dish.

Green curry chicken – just the average run of the mill Thai green curry.

Hong Kong Kailan with Salted Fish – nothing out of the ordinary here.

Tomyam Nam Sai Soup

Tomyam Nam Sai Soup – this clear, simple soup is deceptive as there really is quite a kick to this dish.  Very tasty and spicy!

Diners are allowed to use a voucher per person but this does not extend to children (aren’t they diners too?  Sheesh!)

This mosquito infested restaurant was busy but not crowded on the Saturday evening.  Tucked away in the middle of some industrial site, you’d almost miss this outlet if not for the need to utilise the vouchers. 

Definitely not suitable for a family outing and food-wise, it is no better than our regular tai-chow down the road.  No idea where the Thai cuisine comes into play.  Perhaps it was the Thai green curry in the menu which makes it an authentic Thai restaurant??!!

Pricing-wise, this place is a rip-off.  Each dish is between RM15-RM20++.  Mind you, this is a non-air conditioned outlet with half-baked Thai cuisine.

Enough said, you get the drift.
