My colleague brought me to Pak Husin located at Sungai Ara after a late night work some time ago… It can be easily seen from the main road with it’s tom yam pot shaped lights at the top of the restaurant… and it’s very similar looking to Bangkok Tom Yam on the theme, the interior, the tables and chairs, the wood carved beams, the kitchen and all. So I’m not sure if they are related or so happen they appointed the same designer.
Patrons fill in the empty seats real fast, business is brisk and service is fast too! One thing about most Malay stalls/restaurants, they very much trust their customers, which is good. They do not take any payment from you upon serving, with no fear of you running away and leave without paying. Once you’re done with your meal, you are to head to the counter and inform the cashier what you had, and he/she will then calculate the price, all based on trust.
Sirap Limau (rose flavoured syrup with calamansi lime), Teh Ais (iced milk tea), and Carrot Milk
Fried Tom Yam Noodles, which the portion is a little bit small but nice..
Thick spicy and sour mix tom yam soup (seafood and chicken meat with vegetables)
The mango chicken… was basically deep fried crispy chicken, chopped into pieces, topped with raw mango shreds, red chilies and cili padi with the Thai sweet chili sauce.. well.. it’s not very nice actually… the mango shred was quite thick and tasted just so so…
Fried rice with chicken ala padprik (Nasi Goreng Ayam Padprik), my friend said it was okay… but to me, I personally prefer Bangkok Tomyam’s version.
Nasi Goreng Pattaya, fried rice wrapped in thin omelette with chilli sauce on top…
Tasted normal but not bad.. at least the rice is properly fried with lotsa ingredients added in… Overall, they served extensive range of fried rice and other specialties and fast service despite and big volume of customers coming in…
