Renowned throughout the world for its spicy food, Thai cuisine is a treat for many Malaysians as can be evidence by the abundance of Thai restaurants throughout the Klang Valley and other urban areas.
Hence, Thai food enthusiasts will definitely be excited throughout these two weeks as there will be a showcase of Thai food at the Feast Restaurant of the Sheraton Petaling Jaya.
In a move meant to diversify their already lavish spread, the restaurant has brought in guest chef Somkid Ketkaew from the Bangkok Marriot Hotel.
Ketkaew has some 25 years of experience working in the Thai restaurant industry, sharpening his skills in his mother’s food stall in their home province of Trat in east Thailand.
Among his highlight and specialty dishes are Spicy Green Papaya Salad with Grilled Chicken, Fresh Spring Chicken with Sweet Chilli Sauce, Green Curry Chicken, Crab Curry, Massaman Curry Beef and Mango Sticky Rice.
When asked by FMT to recommend three of his favourite dishes, Ketkaew named Pla Goong, a spicy prawn salad with lemongrass, Tom Yum Goong, a spicy lemongrass soup with prawns and Pad-Thai Noodles, stir-fried rice noodles with prawns and tamarind sauce.
Made with lots of fresh shrimp, fresh herbs and an assortment of vegetables, the Pla Goong has a diverse mix of tastes, ranging from spicy to even minty at times.
It is unsurprising that the veteran chef recommended his Tom Yum Goong, as it is indeed a soup with a distinctively strong and spicy taste.
The soup comes loaded with a lot of goodies within – juicy prawns, crabs, mushroom and onions.
As for the Pad-Thai Noodles, expect to load your plate with multiple helpings of the savoury noodles that will almost certainly leave you wanting more.
This delicious spread is available as part of Feast’s dinner buffet for two weeks, starting from Sept 23 to Oct 6, and will be served from 6.30pm to 9pm.
At only RM118 per adult and RM59 per child, this is one fantastic opportunity not to be missed by Thai food lovers.
