Since we have not come out of the whole Covid-19 woodwork just yet, this relatively new Thai restaurant in Bandar Baru Klang seems to fit the current dining criteria – it is not that crowded and is somewhat open air.

Baan Korat is operated by a couple, with the chef (the wife) being a Thai. Just by that alone you know you’d be getting an authentic experience, right?

Well, luckily, yes!

The restaurant offers Thai steamboat as well as a selected number of mainly street dishes to go with steamed rice. The ambiance is not unlike shops in Hatyai.

A bowl of tomyam seafood (RM13.90), a Baan Korat special (RM13.90), a couple of moo ping (pork skewer, RM3 each), and a serving of their Thai fish cake (RM10) were sampled.

I had originally wanted grilled cockles (RM 13) or grilled stuffed squid (RM 15) but unfortunately, those were not available during this visit.

As for how the food tastes, well, the two soup dishes were top-notch. The tomyam was full of flavour without being super spicy.

The Baan Korat special had a pork broth that carries a strong hint of crushed peanut taste to it and was laden with seafood, egg and minced pork. This was quite delicious as well.

As for the two side dishes, moo ping is a must-order for fans of pork. The fish cakes, on the other hand, ought to be skipped, even if you are not a fan of fish cake or especially if you happen to be one.

Overall though, this is shaping up to be one of those places people wouldn’t mind dining at over and over again.
