Braised Bamboo Fish Head In ClaypotWasn't sure what type of fish they used, but it was certainly deep-fried until remarkably crispy and fragrant , yet not greasy at all; then drenched in a type of brackish and a slight spicy black gravy. I even swallow the bones, I kid you not. It was utterly delectable,and makes me don't even wanna waste a single bone!!!Fried Australian Asparagus with XO Sauce
I love the texture of asparagus as it's not too soft nor too hard to me to chew.
No matter how long you stir-fry it, it'll still reserve its very own characteristic , paired with XO sauce and dried shrimp, Each one of them was evenly coated with the infused shrimp flavor. I simply love it.Braised Local Loh MeeThick and fat 'loh mee' immersed in thick corn starch egg gravy.
I love adding loads of vinegar to give an extra sourish pungency to the dish. It indeed triggers my appetite! Sea Coconut with Red Date and White Fungus.
I love my nutritious dessert very much , they has a tiny hint of red dates sweetness in it, not overly sweetened; I also love the soft and 'slurpy' white fungus too!
Ladies, make sure you finish your white fungus, it contains loads of natural collagen!

I really enjoy the ambiance and good service at Lai Ching Yuen , but I think their price is slightly on the high side, and will re-visit occasionally if there's any promotion running.

Doubled Boiled Chicken with Clam and White Cabbage.

The soup comes naturally sweet, you can literally tell at the first sip, thanks to the chicken and cabbage.
The soup was so pure and clear, and ambrosial. Doubled boiled soup has actually 'locked' all the flavor in that particular tureen. Deep Fried Golden Mushroom with Soft Shell Crab with Salt and Pepper

Crunchy and salty, with a lil bit hint of peppery spiciness ,all I can say was greasy, but satisfying. Barbecue Roasted Pork with Honey

This was sinfully good. The lard layer that melts instantly when it touches your warm and 'cushiony' tongue; the moment you bite on the crispy-charred-outer-layer of the caramelized sugar- heavenly. Homemade Beancurd with Angled Luffa Guard and Scallop

The beancurd was fantastically delicious, I love homemade soy product, I don't know why, but so far, I've never encounter not-tasty beancurd or tofu. Hehe.. Needless to say, the translucent-opaque gravy was mellow and gratifying.

Pineapple Fried Rice RM 18++
Too ordinary I would say, but overall acceptable and nothing to shout about. Traditional Thai Tom Kha with Chicken RM 16++
The White Tom Yam soup has a distinct coconut aroma, but a silkier mouth-feel... not only delicious but pleasurable.
I think I whacked two bowls of rice because of this soup! Phad Thai Noodle with Prawn and Egg RM 16++
Taste like Char Kway Tiao, minus the 'wok hei', but doesn't mean it's not tasty, don't be bias.
It's good, the soy sauce, egg fragrance, lots of tauge(bean sprout)to add an extra crunchiness to the dish...
yumz yumz!Crispy Catfish with Mango Salad RM 20++
Thinly shredded catfish deep fried until remarkably crispy and crunchy, served together with the sourish mango salad.
Although I love the extremely crunchy texture, but I stil think that no catfish or any fish flavor can be detected. ;(Pineapple Lamb in Coconut Sauce RM 30++
The lamb was unbelievably tasty, and the gravy was intensely rich and milky, with a very potent coconut milk flavor in it.
Despite the cholesterol , every simple goodness of the coconut milk is well appreciated. Pan Fried Banana with Ice Cream RM 12++

Spicy Chicken with Chef’s Special Sauce RM 22++

Ahhh~!! Another favourite dish of mine that night! (I know I have too many favorite dish at Samira, but please believe me, I'm just telling the truth, it's freakin delicious!!)
The chicken was deep fried (again), you have to admit that deep fried food usually taste good, typically good, and extremely irresistible , especially when paired with Chef's 'Special Sauce', their secret recipe, let's not divulge here, you have to try this yourself . The chicken was still moist and tender when I took the first bite, how can I not tell the truth??!! *in love with the chicken* ;PTraditional Thai Thick Tom Yam with Seafood RM 20++

Sometimes, the urge of having Thai Food just kick in, and you had totally no clue on where can you get a nice, warm bowl of tom yam, right? Now Samira seems to be the place that's already hammered into my mind - the walking food dictionary. Reasonable price, satisfaction guaranteed, nice ambiance... it's like all-in-one package!
The sweet and sour astringency was adjusted very well, not to sour, with a lil bit hint of spiciness, and the kafir lime leaf & lemongrass pungency.. A bowl of good Tom Yum can definitely zest you up!Grilled Norwegian Salmon with Basil Leaves . (Price Not Available)
What a beautiful mess this is. I never had Salmon like this before, every time I had Salmon , it's either pan-fried or grilled with terriyaki sauce, never know that I can have something extraordinary at Samira. This dish was lightly brackish, with the smell of aromatic basil leaves, chili, and shrimp paste... It's very pleasant to my taste buds I must say. Grilled Fish Fillet in Banana Leaf RM 32++

Good food mustn't always be complicated. A simple fillet enveloped in banana leaf , then wrap with aluminium foil , simply serve with a squeeze of lime juice , that's already very apptizing! yummm~Thai Massaman Curry with Beef RM 28++

Thick and rich coconut flavor, not very spicy, but I can literally tell they used loads of herbs and spices to create such mouth-watering curry. It goes very well with a bowl of hot-steamed rice...;)

To sum up my dinner, I really had a great and satisfying thai meal that nice!
I particularly love the thai chicken the MOST!!!! Must try!

If you ever know there's a hidden gem in Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC) that serves Thai cuisine, then it's time! I wasn't sure whether I was at the right place when I passed by the 3-minutes-drive-alley that leads you to another side of the world, where all you can see on both sides are tress and plants...
Aha! Then a big lake was spotted. Yes, I think we're here - SAMIRA By Asian Terrace.

Walking into another fancy garden, then out of sight, you'll see a magnificent pond, with wooden walkway below your feet... I stunned, for a moment, then the gush of happiness just overwhelmed me.
'Oh my, this place is so romantic!', I murmured to myself. I can just sit down and stare at the pond/lake, alone, yeah! It's greatly fascinating. Then you can just walk over the footbridge to explore the pond and mini garden... try spot for the koi fish!
According to the owner, the fish can grow as long as 5 feet. (I'm only 5 ft2. It's such a shame to say that a fish can grow taller than me .. huhu..;/ )Proceed through the connecting walkway into the restaurant, the warm and dim lighting, just wrapped you up entirely , giving you a romantic and serene surroundings,with soothing music played that is so capable of loosen you up... So, I just sat back down , and had my satisfying Thai meal that night! ;DIt's optional whether you want to dine at the alfresco dining surrounding or the inside the concrete building. If you decided to stay outdoor, you get to enjoy the night breeze whilst dining under the stars(when the day gets darker) .You also get to watch the magnificent serene lake too! *take deep breath* Seafood Pomelo Salad RM 24++

The pomelo salad was extremely delectable.
It's not just plainly good, the moment you scoop in hundreds of mini 'water balloons' into your mouth and masticate it , and you feel the piercing juice of pomelo, ugh... it's like mini 'bomb' that explodes in your mouth, the sweet pomelo juices just flooded my mouth and it left me feeling momentarily jubilant. Seriously... >.< Yam with Seafood Salad (Price -Not Available)


Unique and sensuous - that's the only way to describe this tantalizing Thai salad! The appearance were especially beautiful, not to mention very gourmet.
The yam was chopped evenly into stripes, and then deep fried to give it a (harder)crunchy texture;
together with finely chopped cucumber, onions and lime juice, it tastes spectacularly refreshing!Steamed Squid with Chili and Lime Juice RM 28++

Wow, another dish that will whet your appetite! Look at that, (my saliva is oozing out when I reminisce back the taste). The acetic and unique piquancy that contributed from the lime juice , the hot and zesty bird's eye chili ,the rubbery soft squid, and the finishing touch of the distinctive chopped coriander leave successfully composed this dish... It's simple , yet delicious!River Prawn with Lemongrass Sauce. (Price Not Available)

My favorite dish that night- River Prawn with Lemongrass Sauce.
Clear as you can see, it's a really HUGE prawn !! It's deep fried, then drenched with the aromatic sweet lemongrass-infused sauce. The savory gravy indeed intensify your cravings, making you want more of this. The prawns were literally fresh and succulent, the it's super fleshy and plump (yadaa yadaa, like me -.-).
Mama mia! Love this max!
