Rayung Thai Restaurant @ Taman Danau Desa

Admin

Last Sunday, we were planning to have lunch at Seoul Korea Korean restaurant but the restaurant was unexpectedly closed. So we walked a few shops away to Rayung Thai, Sherilyn’s favorite Thai restaurant. She used to eat at this restaurant with her friends after school, before attending tuition at a nearby tuition center. 

We ordered 12 dishes, including appetizers, main courses, and desserts. The food arrived promptly, and we were immediately struck by the vibrant colors and aromas of the dishes. 

We started with the pineapple fried rice, which paired very well with the hot and spicy dishes.  The Tom Yum soup with seafood and mushrooms had a rich and complex flavour, and was very spicy.

The mango salad was a refreshing and light dish, but the cili padi gave it a very spicy kick. The salad was tossed with half-ripened mangoes, carrots, peanuts, and a tangy dressing. The cold and very aromatic pandan and lemongrass drink that I ordered was a great palate cleanser after the spicy tom yum soup.

For our main courses, we ordered a variety of dishes, including Pad Thai, Green Curry, stir-fried kailan, fried pandan chicken, omelet, fried Thai fish cake, and steamed fish. All the dishes were packed with flavor and delicious. 

For dessert, we ordered mango sticky rice and Tub Tim Grob (Thai red rubies dessert). Both desserts were delicious, with the perfect balance of sweetness, coconut milk, and texture.

However, as much as we enjoyed the food, we found that the spiciness of the dishes was too much for us. We had stomach discomfort and hubs even had diarrhea the next day, which put a damper on our overall experience.

Despite the after-effects, we would still highly recommend Rayung Thai for its authentic food at reasonable prices. Just be mindful of the spiciness levels. You may wish to tell the staff who's taking your order to inform the chef to reduce the spiciness level of your dishes.  Just be prepared for some spice, and you'll be in for a treat.
