Moms Kitchen, Tanjung Bungah

** Featured in The Star on October 26, 2008.

If you do follow my blog, you will realize I hardly patronize any Thai food restaurant. And today am going to write something about Thai Cuisine. Am not really a fan of Thai food, perhaps I’ve yet to try on an authentic Thai food thus far.

Anyway, the whole intention for today’s lunch was actually looking for Eclectic (formal 68 Kelawai) and wanted to try out after they have moved from Kelawai Road to Batu Ferringhi. All the way up there with lots of excitement and expectation, I was very disappointed as it only open for dinner.

I realized Lingzie had blogged about it, so, with that we headed to another place called Annabelle’s Place which Lingzie, Cariso, Food Paradise had reviewed too.

Again, another disappointment! They were not open today, however we notice they are actually closed from 10 October to 15 October, and will open again on 16 October.

With so much disappointment at that moment, what else can we go? I was like running out of idea where should I be heading to. Then hubby was suggesting why don’t we try the one that next to Annabelle’s Place, Mom's Kitchen instead of looking for food at that hour.

Well, with so much disappointment in me, I have no other alternative but to walk to Mom’s Kitchen. When I sat down, I realize this is a Thai food restaurant. I was like looking at hubby, are sure you wanna try this?

He happily ordered what he likes, of course Tom Yam is a must in Thai cuisine. Whoever patronize Thai food restaurant, they will have Tom Yam on their table. We had fish tom yam…the soup base is clear, not that spicy either until one can sweat.

The owner recommended their house specialty Pork Knuckles (豬蹄) with special chilli sauce.

Guess what, this is good. The sauce is well accommodating with the knuckles and you can actually have 2 bowl of rice just on that.

You can take a look at this picture. A picture can tell a thousand words, right?? [LOL]

Apart from the Pork Knuckles, he also recommended another dish, Stuffed Chicken Wings. The bones has been removed and stuffed with special ingredients such as mushroom, some herbs to bring the special taste and fried to perfection. They called it boneless chicken wings.

Since hubby has ordered all the meaty dishes, and I’ll have something green, a plate of Stir Fry Kailan with Deep Fry Pork Meat.

Food serving was fast and the portion of food was just nice for 2 persons.

A silver rice pot was served with steamed rice for their customers to fill up their rice bowl.

The place is quiet and pleasant. And also, this place doesn’t charge the 10% service fees! But it gotta pay by cash. Most important, the price is reasonable and cheap too. *grin*
