Welcome to Nang Nak's playground.
Take away the fairy lights and the crowd and it will get incredibly eerie.
Tables are scarred from bearing thousands of hot dishes and lazily wiped till it has a layer of unclean, sticky feel to it.Floors are made kept in natural dirt form, under raised pavilions, infested with flea hosting felines that creep around trying to steal a bite.
Fine thai cuisines are a big fat hope.
Authentic ? Are you kidding me ? Really ? Gosh .....I can't taste any fish sauce anywhere nor fresh thai herbs, all the hallmarks of authentic thai cuisine.
There is plenty of galangal, chinese celery, serai and prangin mall tomyam paste....all malaysian-thai-chinese hallmarks.
While drinks come served in disgusting plastic recycled mineral water bottle containers.
Pretty telling how this place with plenty of outlets from KL to Penang is more chinese than thai,then eh? Must be real imaginary thai cuisine coupled with refugee camp hospitality.
Where the heck do these people come from ?
I don't think they treat their staff well cos the poor fellas all look so tired and worn out like they're so genuinely fed up of us stuffing our faces like pigs.
And how exactly did they accumulated their so called awards ? Paid for after getting an invitation by a scam award giving company ? Probably.
Especially when their food presentation and cleanliness level scores a great huge ostrich egg trophy.
Only plus, is the substantial portions and fresh seafoods.
Even so, I still rate Khunthai as contender for one of the most gross thai food presentation category with the most incredible bluff for authenticity.
Authentic Prangin Mall tomyam meets Restoran Kolam Ikan Sg Kob,Kulim cum highway rest stop cuisine on a bigger scale.
100 percent yes.
