Thai Nutrient @ Eating Seat Chef Choi, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur

Thai nutrient inwards a Chinese restaurant?


Yeah, you lot heard right....





The owners of Chef Choi are extremely adventurous when it comes to food. Instead of but focusing on Chinese nutrient every bit their advert would suggest, it's literally anything that they honey to gear upwards as well as eat, that is served here.


Thus, you lot discovery Western classic desserts similar crepes suzette, creme brulee mingling amidst steamed Soon Hock fish or Hokkien noodles inwards the menu. We latterly sampled their Thai nutrient as well as from what I listen through the grapevine, there's beak of a BBQ card every bit they bring outfitted the kitchen amongst a rotisserie BBQ.





Since their top dog focus is non Thai food, the items featured from this item dinner are past times particular order.


The dinner struck a chord amidst us every bit each item dish had a peculiarly concocted sauce that was utterly delicious. One of my friends G, who loves her Thai nutrient hijacked the sauces as well as was literally drinking it down.





We started dinner amongst the Kai Sam Yang (fresh lettuce as well as dried shrimp inwards Thai style) - a variation of mieng kham whereby lettuce leafage was used instead of the commons betel leaf. It's uncomplicated every bit 1-2-3 to consume this.


Just lay a lettuce leafage on your palm, bend it to resemble a loving cup as well as offset adding the goodies inwards it. You instruct a selection of tiny deep-fried aromatic prawns, galangal, chillies, lime as well as onions. Drizzle the Thai chilli sauce, a mixture of fish sauce, chillies, vinegar as well as lime that has all the nuances of a Thai dish. Shape into a coin handbag as well as popular into the mouth.





Next was the Nam Prik Kapi (fresh vegetables served amongst Thai shrimp sauce). Loved the pungent aromas of this sauce laced amongst Thai belacan. We could non instruct plenty of the deep fried eggplant, blanched 4 angle beans, long beans, cucumbers as well as white cabbage. Who said vegetables are ho-hum should give this dish a try.





Next was an odd dish, kung cheh nam pla (prawn inwards fish sauce). Super fresh estuary prawns are served raw amongst an addictive sauce laced amongst fish sauce, lime, garlic, chillies as well as sugar.


Even though my natural language tingled from the chillies, I could non instruct plenty of this sauce that I was literally drowning my crunchy sweetness tasting prawns amongst it. My friend G kidnapped this sauce afterward a spell every bit she could non instruct plenty of it. I kinda suspected she was drinking upwards the sauces quietly inwards her corner of the table.





Then, it was a classic Thai dish, the tod mun pla (Thai fish cake). It's done beautifully hither every bit each fish glue patty is juicy as well as bursting amongst flavour. Chopped long beans added a overnice textural crunch.


Another classic was the yam pla duk foo (deep-fried fish amongst mango chilli sauce). Usually made from catfish, they had used siakap instead. No complaints every bit the deep-fried fish was beautifully light, flaky as well as crispy. It's Splashie Boy's favourite Thai item as well as he kept eating this "floss" similar dish, drizzling over the mango chilli sauce that was to a greater extent than sweetness vs spicy.





Our stomachs were groaning but nosotros were close reaching the end. I didn't expression it but the served my favourite nutrient item, poo nam prik prao (crab amongst Thai basil as well as chilli). Local mud crabs were used then they had a sweetness unbeatable sense of savour that no Sri Lankan or Indonesian crab tin e'er imitate. It was over again real aromatic amongst the Thai basil spell the sauce was on the sweeter side. I wished I had to a greater extent than fourth dimension to slow pick through the crab but it was fourth dimension for the slice de resistance.


Oh, I close forget roughly other dish non of the Thai genre but a preview of the BBQ menu. The amount slab of juicy grilled pork ribs. Really expert materials that nosotros had to hold upwards our fingers to savour each morsel of it.





The dinner had started out every bit a asking for Thai duck noodles, a specialty of the owner. Rather than but serve us the noodles, it became a amount blown Thai meal.


We had left crucial tummy infinite for this dish as well as I'm glad nosotros did. The broth was low-cal still fragrant from the pork as well as duck bones. It came packed amongst shredded duck, edible bean sprouts as well as incredible sin inwards the shape of fried lard cubes as well as crunchy pig's skin. We too tried diverse noodles - the commons Thai kuey teow, Chef Choi's ain egg noodles as well as beehoon. I preferred the egg noodles every bit it seems to absorb to a greater extent than of the broth compared to the Thai kuey teow noodles. Others had varying opinions. At i time, the room was soundless from everyone slurping downward their incredibly tummy satisfying noodles.


The repast ended amongst roughly other classic, the tad thim krob (red rubies dessert) amongst H2O chesnuts as well as jackfruit inwards a kokosnoot milk broth.
