RM22.90 per Large Bowl
CNN Go named Massaman Curry as No. 1 of World's 50 most delicious foods and hailed as king of all food or king of curries. Some claimed that it was originated from Southern Thailand. From far away it looks like Curry Kapitan. The curry sauce is a mixture of curry paste, roasted peanuts, coconut milk and a hint of nutmeg & cinnamon, together 2 drumsticks and a few chunks of potatoes which have been delightfully soaked up the curry like a sponge and garnished with peppermint leaves.

The chinese looking steam boat was filled with the reddish soup teeming with the prawns, squids, fish, oyster mushroom, coriander, tomato, chopped spring onions, lemongrass, galangal, chilli padi (bird's eye chili) and kaffir lime leaves. It is a different version from the clear soup - Tom Yum Nam Sai and also has sour, salty, spicy and sweet taste in one bowl. This is one of the authentic Thai delicacy that many locals are passionate about and has spread around the world. I do not problem with spicy food and if you do, you can let the manager/waitress/waiter know about it so that it will not explode as it touches the tip of your tongue.

On 28th October 2011 (i.e. Friday), I dined with a special friend of mine in said Wang Thai Restaurant by using the said coupons. We ordered Set A Meals together with an additional dish which was Goong Si Da (Steamed Prawns with Favourite Thai Spicy and Sour Sauce). It was strongly recommended by the Manager.

RM12.90 (5 Pieces) / RM21.90 (10 Pieces)
The minced pork mixed prawn & others was carefully wrapped with bean curd sheet (Tauhu Skin) before deep fried. We loved this dish. The taste was very similar to the traditional Chinese dish - crab meat balls (chim choh) with thin crispy layer of bean curd sheet and If you love it, you will definitely like this dish without saying it any further. The dish will be loved by the children because it is not spicy. Watch out !!! If you ordered 5 pieces, I bet that it would not be sufficient because you will crave for more.

No. 17 : Curry - Gaeng Keaw Wan Gai ( Green Curry Chicken)
RM12.90 per Small Bowl / RM22.90 per Big Bowl
One of the famous & popular Thai Dishes is Thai Green Curry which love by a lot of Malaysians. Combination of green curry paste, chuck of chicken meat, coconut milk, egg plant, Thai basil, lemon grass, galangal, lime leaves and etc make this curry an unforgettable blend of delights. It is perfectly to be eaten with rice to sop up every intricate drop because it is usually prepared quite soupy.
No. 18 : Prawn - Goong Si Da (Steamed Prawns with Favourite Thai Spicy and Sour Sauce)
RM21.90 per Small Plate / RM39.90 per Big Plate
Only fresh prawns will able to produce this fine dish. The prawns were slightly sliced into half with intestines removed. The succulent steamed prawns dressed with fine cut chili padi (bird's eye chilies), salad and permit leaves as garnish together with special tangy lime sauce.
Cautious : This dish is spicy and flaming.
We had a satisfied hearty meal together with the cool cozy ambiance and also a very wonderful memorable moment. I will dine with my special friend there again whenever we have the chance.
