Longan Ice. We always like to visit this Thai restaurant because it is located near our neighbourhood and the parking is always easy during weekdays and weekends night in that area. The restaurant was dimly lit for a cozy dining environment. The longan ice has quite a number of pieces of longan. The drink was not too sweet, just filled with the right amount of sweetness.

Green Curry Chicken. Since we were having the spicy tomyam soup, we ordered the non-spicy green curry chicken so that the whole meal was not fiery spicy. The green curry had some basil leaves to add on the aromatic smell. It was thick and quite sweet. I personally quite like the taste as it was not spicy and thick with spices taste. The chicken pieces were tender.

Ice Lemon Tea. Normally we will just settled with plain water when we dined at Golden Orchid Oriental Thai Cuisine. That night however my brother felt like drinking something sweet, he ordered the ice lemon tea. It came with lots of ice and topped with a piece of lemon. The tea taste was strong and refreshing with a little bit of lemon taste. Actually it was an average drink.

Paku Pakis Garlic. Since the first time we tried this Golden Orchid Oriental Thai, we had been going back there quite often if we wanted to have some good Thai food. The last time we tried the belacan kangkung and it was not satisfactory, so we just stick with stir fried paku pakis with garlic this time around. The paku pakis has a quite rough texture and it has garlic pieces around it. A normal one.

Fried Fish with Mango. The fish was topped with mango shreds, anchovies and some nuts. Around the fish was the Thai chili. The fish was deep fried till crispiness, it was not oily at all despite being deep fried. The mango shreds were quite sour and it matched well with the fish together with the chilli sauce. The anchovies were huge and crunchy. We were satisfied with this dish.

Stir fried kangkung with garlic. That night since we had the spicy tomyam soup, we did not order the belacan kangkung, we ordered the stir fried kangkung with garlic instead. The portion was big and the garlic pieces were big too. The kangkung was soft and it was crunchy. The garlic taste was not too strong. This was an ordinary stir fried vegetable dish and nothing special.

Golden Orchid Special Fried Chicken. We were thinking which type of chicken dish to order as last time we had tried the pandan chicken. So we chose this Golden Orchid Special fried chicken. It was chicken marinated in homemade sauce served with two chili dipping sauces. The chicken was slightly crispy and the homemade marination was quite unique. The taste was slightly salty and not spicy.

Pineapple Fried Rice. When we ordered pineapple fried rice, we sort of expecting that the fried rice would be served in a pineapple. However, we were slightly disappointed as it did not came with the pineapple. The fried rice consisted of pineapples, prawns, cashew nuts, green peas and some fried shallots. The fried rice was moist and the taste was not too strong.

Red Ruby dessert. After our satisfying dinner, we ordered a bowl of red ruby dessert for sharing. The red ruby was actually water chestnut coated in pink layer. The water chestnut was big pieces and there were a lot. The shave ice was finely shaved. My father felt like there was not enough of coconut milk, but for me and my mother, the taste was good enough without heavy coconut milk.

Clear Seafood Tomyam Soup. Since last month we had tried the red tomyam soup, this time around, we chose the clear seafood tomyam soup. The soup was packed with ingredients such as herbs, lemongrass, squids, prawns and oyster mushrooms. The soup was extremely sour till I sweat when I drank it. The prawns were big and fresh. The squids too. I think I would still prefer the red tomyam soup.

Upon entering, it is almost immediate to tone yourself and easily blend into the cozy and comforting lighting in the restaurant. And of course, the warm welcoming greeting by PAHTIMAH, at the doorway. The dishes are all heart warming and the platters are something to be bragged. The platter that was very enjoyable that night was the Kembong Fish Platter that is common to be found on the menu of most Thai restaurant, be it the authentic ones or the fusion ones. It is a very simple dish consisting

The Golden Orchid is located in PJ in one of the shop rows in Jalan SS 22. It would be hard to locate them without the GPS, especially with the construction that is going on nearby. And if you are not familiar with that area, it might take you a while to find it. With all the apps and GPS tracking on the smart phones, be rest assure that you’ll find this place in no time. There are lots of parking spaces, and during the night time, it would be difficult to miss the vibrant lighting of the restau

Pandan chicken. The pandan chicken option was stated under appetizer, so we thought it would be a small piece with a quite expensive price tag (RM16 for 4 pieces). In fact, it was quite big pieces when it was served. The chicken were wrapped heavily with the pandan leave and the aroma was strong. The chicken was soft, slightly charred, and not too salty. Dipped together with the Thai chilli sauce, it was delicious.

Stir Fried beef with basil leaves. We wanted to order green curry beef but my mother wanted to try the basil leaves version, so we went with her choice. The beef slices were not too big, but some were slightly tough and some were slightly soft. The basil leaves flavour was not too strong in this, good for people who prefer milder version. The dish was not too salty.

Belacan Lady Fingers. My mother wanted lady fingers and she chose the belacan stir-fried style. The lady fingers were quite big pieces. Some of them were slightly hard though, I wonder whether is the old lady fingers. The belacan was slightly spicy but it was not too fragrant of belacan taste. The dish was quite salty, and had to be eaten together with rice. It was a so-so dish.
