PJ is an established city in Klang Valley. As such, the shops and restaurants there stood the test of time. You don't easily get disappointed going to makan in PJ.
There are many Thai restaurant in Malaysia. Malaysians of all races love Thai food. Most of the Thai restaurants are run by Malaysians. It is not easy to find one run by Thais. Khuntai restaurant is one exception. The owner definitely has some Thai background and most of the staff are Thai.
The restaurant is located in the residential area of PJ and looks like your neighbourhood restaurant where you and your family go there for one single purpose, i.e. MAKAN.
The decoration is simple. There are photo of Yang di Petuan Agong and Raja Permaisuri Agong of Malaysia on the wall. There are also photo of the incumbent Thai King, King Bhumibol Adulyadej. For your information, if a Thai word ends with l, the l will become ng phonetically. Bhumibol is spelled using Thai spelling, it should really be pronounced as Bhumibong. Photo of 2 monarchies in the same premise, isn't this a case of divided loyalty?
The menu comes with many set menu. It was 930pm and we were not really that hungry.
I forgot the name of the dish and the name of the leaves. Essentially, you fold the leaf into an inverted cone, put a bit of peanuts, dried shrimps, garlic, ginger, onion, chillies, etc into the cone and pour some honey on top and put it into your mouth. It was refreshing.
Thai style tempura kangkong. Amazing, the batter was fried super crispy. I didn't know kangkong can be cooked this way.
Prawn in Thai green curry.
The Thai waitress was very friendly. She tooked our order, served the dishes and offered to take photo for us. She was also laughing and giggling all the time.
Steamed squid. It was really a mistake to keep it warm on fire. Steamed squid cannot be overcooked. We noticed the changes in the texture of the squid gradually. The flame was just too strong.
The food was great, except for the mistake of putting the steamed squid on fire. The total bill was RM60.
