Thai Food @ BAAN Somtum - Cyber Square

I spotted this restaurant a few weeks back while exploring new areas to eat in. At the time the restaurant was closed but as we're both lovers of spicy food I thought it would be best to return at a later date with The Little Nibbler to sample its home cooked Thai food. So tonight here we are at BAAN Somtum, as the name suggests somtum, or spicy papaya/mango salad seems to be the house specialty along with several set meals, but we gave them a miss tonight and ordered a la carte. First up we ordered chicken phad ka pao, a fairly spicy concoction of chicken, onion, green beans and kaffir lime leaves, even though it was missing thai basil leaves, it was still very tasty, and maybe next time I'll ask for Thai spicy!
 

We also ordered tom kha kaii, a delicious coconut soup with chicken, this was simply the taste of Thailand, light and refreshing with chilli, corriander, lemongrass, galangal and coconut milk, yummy! We also ordered steam rice to accompany the meal. We both really enjoyed the meal and are looking forward to a return visit, infact I already know what I'm going to have!!!

 

Iced Thai milk tea and nescafe, both very sweet!

 

Baan Somtum is located in the fairly new shoplots at Cyber Square, just off Jalan Lintas. The restaurant is bright and spotlessly clean with friendly staff.

 

The Bill : 1x Chicken Phad Ka Pao, 1x Tom Kha Kai, 2x Steam Rice, 1x Thai Milk Tea, 1 x Ice Nescafe = 38.90 MYR

If you love Thai food, you'll love BAAN Somtum!
