Thai Food Market at Siamese Temple, Jalan Pantai, Petaling Jaya

Thai Food Market, Jalan Pantai, Petaling Jaya July 6, 2010 at 7:45 PM This Thai food market happens every Sunday along Jalan Pantai in front of the Siamese Temple. Along the entrance of the market is a short stretch of stalls are all operated by Thais, so you know for sure, that the food here is authentically Thai. The waft of the food coming from these stalls are irresistible. You can smell the pork satay and chicken wings grilling on the grills, bowls of colourful dessert on the tables, packed Thai food that I've never seen before. You can also get fresh Thai produce from these stalls ranging from Thai instant noodles all the way to Thai sauces, and freshThai vegetables and preserved fruit. So, now to the food. We bought some Thai Mango Salad, Thai Laksa and Mango Rice Dessert for our lunch. We had to pack it back home since there was no where to sit, unless you brought a rattan mat, you can actually sit on the grass patch running along side the temple. But in the afternoon heat, no thank you. This is our Thai Mango Salad. DELICIOUS!! But I must warn you, this is very very spicy. I foresee a stomachache tomorrow from all the spicy-ness. It has shredded green mango, long beans, tomatoes, shredded cucumber, garlic, dried shrimp, lots of lime, fish sauce and one chilli padi. ( She wanted to put two chilli padies but because I specifically told her less spicy she decided on one). The result, sour, sweet, spicy goodness. I can still taste it. Yum! The Thai laksa here is one of my favourites. Its a thick santan based curry laksa with lots of vegetables (long beans,bean sprout, salted vege, cucumbers, onions and some preserved vege). Its not as spicy as it looks, and has a slightly sour kick to it. But be prepared for a long nap after this meal cause all the santan will just put you to sleep. Lastly was our Mango Sticky Rice Dessert. They use a whole Mango for this dessert. So a whole Mango on top of sticky rice with santan. Yum Yum. But remember to eat it on the same day or else it won't be good. All the dishes we bought were RM5 and you the stall operators there all speak either canto, mandarin or bahasa so it's easy for you to make your order. So if you ever crave authentic Thai food.
