Go Thai, SS2

Have you heard about the famous restaurant serving authentic Thai cuisine in SS2, Petaling Jaya? I'm talking about Go Thai in SS2! After hearing so much positive feedback from my friends, I was there last week to check it out with my pig.

The food concept is about the same as its competitor; Frame Thai in Happy Mansion. They practically sold almost the same type of food - Thai Street Food but Go Thai's interior is cleaner and more organized. In terms of menu, Go Thai has a very limited food choices on its menu. Hopefully, they will  introduce more food options soon.

Here's Go Thai's full menu with 3 types of rice dishes and 3 types of noodles dishes as well as some snacks and a soup option.

Or you can add some fiber to your meal through some Thai salad - 3 options available on the menu.

Here it comes. Dinner is served within 10 minutes after we ordered. My partner had his Classic Thai Chang Beer as his starter :) Quite expensive though at RM9/can but it's good enough to be his starter before the mains. hehe.

I had my Fresh Lime Juice (RM5) which is good enough to quench my thirst after a long day.

We had this Som Tum (RM8) as our starter. It's the classic papaya salad made from unripe papaya with Thai dried prawns,long beans, tomatoes, shredded carrots, peanuts and lots of chilli. I think it will taste better if the shredded papaya is cut into thinner size. And it's not so spicy compared with other Som Tum which I had tasted before. Perhaps it needs to be a little more spicy? It's a personal preference though.

We love this Moo Ping (RM10/3pcs) very much. It's charcoal grilled pork and it taste much better than our bak kwa! Perfect as a snack or as a side to your mains. I want more of this!!

For mains, we had this Khao Kha Moo (RM10) - Stewed pork leg with rice and egg. I was looking forward to this dish but I think I set my expectation too high. While the pork is flavorful and delicious, there's not enough stewed gravy to go with my rice. Somehow, I was missing Frame Thai's version while I was having this.

We also tried the Phad Graprow Moo (RM9) - minced pork with chili and Thai basil leaves served with fried egg and rice. Taste ok and surprisingly good! The portion of pork with its greens are just right and goes well with my rice.

When you had Thai cuisine, Tom Yum soup is a must-have. In Go Thai, you only have one type of soup to choose from; the Tom Yum Seafood Soup (RM13). They are very generous with their ingredients in the soup. Since it's a seafood tom yum; there's lots of squids and prawns in it. I think I had more than 3 prawns from this soup :) Best to consume it while it's still hot.

Looking at our bill, there's no extra charge of 6% GST and 10% service charge on top of food price which is a good thing! Happy dining at Go Thai, SS2.

Restoran Teow Chew Meng, SS2

When it's raining heavily in the evening with horrible traffic jams everywhere around you, it is hard to venture out of PJ to have good food. Do go into SS2 and have your dinner before continuing your journey. It's not that jam inside SS2 area (talking about the small road/housing area).

Restoran Teow Chew Ming which is located at one of the shops behind Yuan Garden Dim Sum in SS2 (or Restoran New Formosa too?) is a hidden gem. That row of shops is very quite at night and parking is not a problem. This row of shops is facing the housing area, not the main road.

This restaurant or tai chow place is air-conditioned. There's a few table outside for outdoor dining too. They are specialized in seafood related dishes and they have seafood mee sua, porridge, rice, noodle soup, etc. Yes, everything you see on the menu is seafood; don't expect a chicken or other meat dishes on the menu yeah. After glancing at what other people were ordering, we quickly made our order too. Basically, you can choose to have either a mee sua or porridge or noodle soup. Then, you choose whether you have it to pair with mix seafood, etc etc.. If you are a rice person, you only have the option of seafood fried rice here :P  And the price is based on per pax, you can order one pax portion for the dishes so that you can try all of them!

Menu at Restoran Teow Chew Meng

Pig was saying that the place is so clean that you can't see any fly around since it's a seafood restaurant. Price is affordable too based on the ingredients put in the dishes. Of course you can't compare a normal seafood noodle at a coffee shop and in a seafood restaurant. For a seafood restaurant, this place's price is really affordable. We ordered the small portion and one pax portion for the noodles. 

Among all the dishes, I love this Shark Fin Mee Sua, RM12/pax the most. There's a lot of fish maw, prawns, oysters and sliced fish in it. Since it's suppose to be a shark fin mee sua, there's a lot of shark fin in it too. And I don't think so that this is real shark fin (real shark fin taste different from this), thus no worries about the poor shark's presence in your meal. And the soup/gravy taste is just right. The kind of taste I like in Chinese dishes ~ the spring onion and cilantro in the dishes. I was happily munching the fish maw which was full of flavour without worrying that pig is gonna gobble up all my fish maw because there's plenty! And the fried garlic makes the soup even better.

Shark Fin Mee Sua, RM12/pax

The Oyster Noodle, RM15 is quite good too. But I love the mee sua more because I don't really eat lor mee (if you know me well). And this noodle is something like lor mee but with a different taste. I can accept the taste as it's not sour but more like a seafood soup. Pig loves this dish as there's a lot of plump and juicy oyster in it. Therefore, pig conquer this dish and me on my mee sua in the end :)

Oyster Noodle, RM15

A dinner is not complete without some delicious side dishes. We love this Octopus! Crunchy and fresh, just right to complement the dinner.

Octopus, RM12 (small)

Another thing is their signature Seafood roll, RM12 (small). It was still burning hot when it arrived on the table. Taste good but if the presence of salted egg yolk is more, then it will taste better.

Do save some stomach space for their steamed yam paste dessert! I love yam paste and this taste like homemade. It might not look nice based on its presentation but the soft and starchy yam paste can be comforting to end your meal.

Steamed yam paste with gingko, RM3.50

Overall, it's a good place to have your comfort lunch or dinner. Found out that this place was featured in the news too. Read it here.

Restaurant New Paris, SS2

Ever since I've moved to PJ, SS2 has been our weekly dinner place just like how Sunway Pyramid used to be our second home back when we were living in Subang Jaya. One of the famous tai chow restaurant in SS2 is this New Paris Restaurant. Was introduced by my ex-internship boss during one of the lunch together.

Despite the massive traffic jam at LDP highway, we still managed to reach this place at about 7 something. It was drizzling and luckily that we could park our car right outside the restaurant. As what I heard and read, this place is crowded but one thing for sure. I've noticed that every single table have at least a few dishes in common such as this --> Honey Chicken served in watermelon.

Have you wonder why? You will know about it when you order your meal. I've tried this "famous" dish when I dine there last time. Taste wise; it's some marinated chicken and they don't practically cook that watermelon with chicken. The watermelon served as a decoration and as a so-called "dessert". We asked the waitress about anything special on the menu and was told about all that few dishes which we had took a glance on other tables. I was like "------------" . Finally, we make our choice with these four dishes which we ordered in small portion size. Mind you that these dishes were served like 10 minutes right after we ordered. True indeed. This place is also famous for being like a "fast-food restaurant".

It's dinner time. chop chop..

Sweet and sour pork.

Minced pork tofu

Guinness pork ribs

Spinach soup

Overall, the dishes are ordinary. Nothing surprising. The only good  factor is that their price is considered cheap for a tai chow restaurant and food are served within 10 minutes - good for those who are in a rush. These four dishes with drinks and white rice only costs below RM60.


If you are dining here on Monday, there's a SS2 night market/pasar malam nearby this restaurant. It's only a 5 minutes drive to the night market.
