Scouting for Thai fare? Pitch your tent at Thai Camp, set up recently at PJ's foodie-friendly site of Taman Paramount.
Casual meals can be enjoyed at this temple of spice; hog-worshipping recipes might command the most fervent devotees, from pork phanaeng curry (RM20), vivid in colour & flavour ...
... to pork that's stir-fried with stirringly fiery-tangy lime sauce (RM18) ...
... to pork that's kept simple & savoury with garlic, that magical complement (RM15), ...
... & pork deep-fried with kaffir lime leaves (RM18), a worthy sacrifice at shrines of sin.
For fans of eggs, more than a few fun finds: The menu calls this one "Amazing Eggs" (RM15), hard-boiled & heaped with a meaty gravy.
This looks like a run-of-the-mill omelette when it surfaces at the table, but break it open to reveal a steaming-hot stewed stuffing of meat & carrots. RM13.
Fried egg salad, satisfying with seafood (RM17).
Saving the best for last? Crispy-creamy preserved eggs with pork in holy basil sauce. RM18.
