A Double Take For Thai

Since his purpose was to come home to eat and eat, I fulfilled Andy's wishes by taking him to Soon Hoong, Thai cuisine but in a "coffeeshop"........ yours truly here is "frugal" one..

It is my second time there but for Andy, it is his first... to our astonishment, the place was crowded even though it was only 6.30pm... We waited for almost half an hour before our dishes came... that time, most of our stomach were already "calling for help! help!!"

This time I ordered big rice bowls instead of small rice...

first came the kerabu chicken feet....
they were so "crunchy" and "springy"..

who gets cold feet eating cold chicken feet? :)
try it... they are very nice and sweet... lol....
don't think of how they debone these feet, ok!

next was the steamed stingray with hot chilies...

they put lots of garlic and "wine" too....

a green vege.. "kangkung"

Andy requested for pandan fried chicken

and lastly, their all time favourite
"Or Chien" (fresh oysters with eggs)

For the five of us with 6 bowls of rice plus drinks
the total came to RM72 ($25usd)
I thought it was pretty expensive.. or was it not??

  5. OMGawd, the dishes looked so yummilicious! RM72 is not expensive, since it works out to be less than RM15 per pax.

  16. Not frugal...smart! Expensive? Got oyster, got fish...and never mind. As long as the food is good and it's quality time well-spent with Andy. With children, no need to count the money one... Very soon will sprout wings and flown already and you will not get a chance like this again.

  17. You can eat stingray?? Oh, the chicken feet and stingray are freaking me out a bit, but the rest looks good, my favorite too would be the oysters and eggs!

    ReplyDelete

  21. Claire, oh, Claire, you tempted me with Thai cuisine again.

    Tonight must go for Thai food!

  22. Hiya! Thanks for dropping by my blog.

    Food looks good and it's not that expensive. 'Tai chow' dishes like these generally cost over RM20/pax in KL these days. I was happy to find a cheap one but it recently closed shop. Maybe charged too little haha.

  23. Adding in one bowl of tom yam kung, it will be even perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  24. The price for the whole meal with dishes like this are very reasonable. Air con restaurant will charge much higher i suppose.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Sedapnya.. RM72 to me is cheap. Dont think we can find it anywhere in KL for that price...

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think the price is quite standard lo...
