Pattaya Restaurant & Coffee House(Jalan Sulam, TAMAN SENTOSA)

One wouldnt miss it's prominent signboard when you board the bus towards Taman Sentosa. I was captivated by it's beautifully designed exterior and the fascinating signboard. Sometimes, a signboard would help attract customers. There are very few ''high class'' and Thailand Restaurants in Johor. Thus, this restaurant is highly recommended for Thai Cuisine.

The Ambience

The exterior of the restaurant is beautifully decorated. There are few statues of Thai goddess and mural painting. The inteior of the restaurant is dimly lit with That style lanterns, making me feel relaxed and peaceful. The tables and chairs, made from contemporary and classic wood, provides a ''traditional'' touch.
The restaurant is divided into 2, dining & massage. One wouldnt miss the Authenic Thai massage.

The Food

The menu is beautifully printed with pictures of thai food, culture and people. The high-lighted would mean chef's recomendation. The starters, consists of different types of that salads-ranging from mango, papaya, chicken feets with various combinations of seafood and meat.

Some ''must-try'' thai food including Tom Yum Goong, Green curry chicken, Thai fishcake/prawn cakes, pandan leaf chicken..many to mention. I would have to visit them often to try all. The downside, there were no desserts provided. I would love to try the Thai red ruby, Mango glutinous rice.

My Food

The pickles provided reek of strong vinegar. But, it was addictive. There were pcs of carrots, papaya and cucumbers. I couldnt resist finishing all of them

Thai Papaya Salad(RM 15.90)

The thai green papaya is sliced thinly into strips, served with dried shrimps,chilli padi and cashew nuts in thai lime dressing. There were some cabbage leaves provided but i think that was redundant (in fact, it was icy cold). The salad was quite spicy and i could not resist sneezing and wipping tears. However, i felt that the salad was medicore.

Thai beancurd with green mangoes(RM 20.90)

This is basically deep-fried beancurd serving with green mango salad and thai chilli. There were 6 small pcs of beancurd, lighly deep-fried and topped with their special mango salad. I actually forgot to request for ''no peanuts''. The girl who served me actually made the effort to replace it for me.

I like the tinge of sourness from the green mangoes. I felt that the mango salad fare better than the papaya salad. It goes well with the deep-fried beancurd too.
I recommend the green mango salad.

The service

Polite, prompt and efficent. The girl who served me offered tissue paper when she saw me weeping away(due to the spiciness).

Verdict

It was rather difficult to locate a reputable or ''high -class'' restaurant in Johor, Pattaya restaurant is recommended for thai cuisine.
