One of the better outlets in the SEA Group family of mall-friendly Thai restaurants, which also includes BSC's Busaba, 1 Utama's Good Evening Bangkok & Mid Valley's Flying Chillies.
Prawns Part I: Tom yam soup _ sourish, spicy & swamped with prawns & mussels.
Prawns Part II: Pomelo salad, with plenty of juicy pulp complemented somewhat unusually by battered prawns, squid, roasted coconut & ground peanuts.
Prawns Part III: Northern Thai prawn curry with pineapples. Delicious, even without the distinctive flavors of the typical Thai green & red curries. Tastes like it could be Malaysian.
Prawn-free interlude: Grilled strip loin on hot plate with northern Thai sauce. Can't complain; the well-marinated beef is the furthest thing from bland & chewy.
Prawns Part IV: Sizzling seafood with Thai herbs. Bonus point: Celadon's food displays few apparent signs of MSG.
Prawns Part V: Pineapple fried rice, intriguingly topped with chicken floss (besides the prawns, naturally) for an enjoyable chewiness.
A fair range of wine is available _ not something to take for granted at a Thai eatery.
Celadon Royal Thai Cuisine,

Omg definitely first!! :p
ReplyDeleteOh this post was very prawny! I'm not a big fan of prawn even though I do eat them. And, also, I don't think I have had Thai food. Although that prawn dish in the pineapple looks very familiar to me
Rad: oooo, Thai food is pretty popular in KL. If there are 50 Indonesian eateries here, then there must be 300 Thai ones! I'm not a major fan of thai food though ... It's a once-a-month kinda thing for me. Spiciness turns me off =)
ReplyDeleteI saw the cover picture. Looked hard again. Its quite an interesting print on the seats.
ReplyDeleteSeriously prawny meal eh? The grilled striploin looks good and is definitely a beak fromthe prawn dishes.
How is the dessert list?
Missyblurkit: oh yeah, the seats feel strange at first. it's like we're resting our backs on human faces :D heh, but the prawniness of the meal was a complete coincidence. wasn't planned at all! =) desserts here seem run-of-the-mill. i think there's the usual mango with sticky rice & maybe tab tim krob :D
ReplyDeleteWow that's a lotttttt! We only have this Thai restaurant called Pucket.
ReplyDeleteI thought the chairs look pretty cute. Definitely a conversation piece with fellow diners.
ReplyDeleteHmmm did I say merry Christmas to you already? Oh well just in case...
ReplyDeletemerry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteBaby Sumo: heheh, ya, the faces on the chairs look very old-school Siamese, like something out of the movie "the King & I" :D
ReplyDeleteRad: Pucket! That's a cool name for a restaurant. Guess it rhymes with Bucket :D and thanks! Happy Boxing Day & Slovenian Independence Day today!
Michelle: heheh, erawan is closed on Monday, if I'm not mistaken :D
Thai food again? Interesting!
ReplyDeleteWe were just thinking to have some yesterday. Next time we go makan Thai food together lah!
CK: heheh, ok, can! But you have to finish the Tom yam soup if it's too spicy for me! :D
ReplyDeleteI've been craving Thai food recently!!! but didn't try this because they're so many other distractions in Pavilion!! HAHA that's a lot of prawns!!
ReplyDeleteVien: oh yeah, and there are multiple Thai restaurants at pavilion. At least three, I think :D
ReplyDeleteOh I can finish the Tom Yam :p
ReplyDeleteRad: make sure you slurp it all up to the last drop! :D
ReplyDeleteTHAI food, really? Hehe from someone who doesn't eat spicy! Bravo! I look forward to more spicy food reviews from u :P
ReplyDeleteIamthewitch: heheh, actually this place was to redeem my CIMB card reward points! CIMB card customers can use their reward points to pay for the bill at this restaurant :D
ReplyDeleteall i could say is that the chairs are very cute!
ReplyDeleteEiling: heheh, and they look like very clean chairs too! :D

ReplyDeleteRad: ok, as long as you don't spill any :D
ReplyDelete:p hehe

ReplyDeleteRad: and it's difficult to make at home! ingredients include lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, lime juice, fish sauce & crushed chili peppers :D
