had a wonderful dinner event at Thanying Restaurant last thursday. we were served with authentic thai cuisine and the food is fantastic!

it was a 6 course fine dining and this is my first time at Thanying restaurant

Appetizer
Miang Khum
Delectable bits of herb, peanut, dried shrimp, ginger with honeyed tamarind sauce in leafy wrap

the leaf taste a little bitter but is compensated with the sweet sauce that comes with it. the ginger and herb adds a little spicy taste to it. although i m not a fan of spicy food and i cannot take spicy food, this combination is still quite my liking.

next we had
mixed platter ( goong now and hoi-jo)
Deep fried marinated prawn in herb wrapped in rice sheet and deep-fried crabmeat rolls with water chestnut and minced chicken in soya sheet wrap

deep fried stuff..who dont like? haha. this dish is nothing special to me cos the crabmeat rolls taste like our chinese nor hiong ( wu xiang). but overall this dish is very nice when u eat it with the thai chili sauce

next salad
Yam Mamuang
Green mango salad mixed with chicken , prawn, roasted coconut, chili and lim sauce

famous mango salad. with little bit of sour, spicy and sweet taste. the mango salad is superb.

next is my fav dish of the day - soup
tom yam pla krapong
thai spicy fish soup cooked with mushroom, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime and a hint of chili

after my thai col's explanation, now i know that there are actually two types of tom yam soup clear and those with added milk. hmm. mine is the one with added milk. sounds very fattening but is really gd. the more u drink, the more spicy it gets. it is specially gd when u take it during a cool weather as it really warms your stomach

for our main course, it is actually a combination of 3 dishes.
Chu-chi goong
chu-chi curry with prawn - restaurant specialty

pla kao rad prik
deep fried boneless grouper topped with thai garlic lime and chili sauce

phad nor mai farang
stir fried asparagus with oyster sauce

next ending the night with desert of the day - red ruby.

something different from the normal ones we had in thai express. this one comes with jackfruit and green mango. i love this desert despite i m not a sweet tooth.

overall the dining experience is gd and the food is really fantastic. thank you Thanying for the wonderful dinner event you hosted for us. the dinner is great!
