Thai Village Restaurant @ Shah Alam, Selangor

Today we did a family gathering in Shah Alam, Selangor and decided to head out for dinner thereafter. I was wondering where would be a good place to head and that is when, I remembered this restaurant which I have been to some years ago. I did a Google search and found their phone number. Called them just to confirm that the restaurant still exists and having spoken, confirmed that it is still around. With that being confirmed, we head out for dinner. This restaurant is located in Seksyen 13, close to Giant Hypermarket and the stadium.

Thai Village Restaurant @ Shah Alam, Selangor
One good thing here is that in the evenings, parking is ample. The restaurant still looks the same as it did then. I doubt they have done any renovations and hope that the food quality is still the same too.This restaurant has been here for the past 13 years and they specialise in Halal Thai food. It is owned by local Malay's and it draws quite a huge Malay crowd.

The Interior of the Restaurant

Us Going Through The Menu

Accreditation by the Jalan Jalan Cari Makan team
The restaurant decor is quite unique as you can see from the above photographs. The ceiling is covered with egg trays and it definitely looks nice. Once we were at this restaurant, we took our table and were going through the menu. They do have quite a large offering from specialty dishes to even simple ones like Thai Fried Rice and Phad Thai. The waiter was definitely very helpful in assisting with ordering the dishes and their portions as there was seven of us. I wanted to order as many dishes as possible for us to taste but also ensuring that it was not too much for us. This was where the waiter was very helpful indeed. We then finalised the orders and went through the summary once again with the waiter. Service here is a little slow as they have only one cook and during busy times, it could be quite a wait before your dishes arrive. However for us today, we got our drinks in around 15 minutes which is not that fast too. However since there was quite a large group, we had a lot to chat about and did not mind the time.

Jug of Watermelon Juice @ RM 20.00
We did not want to order individual drinks except for another glass of grape juice. The rest of us had this jug of Watermelon Juice which was charged at RM 20.00 . The juice was good except that there was too much  crushed ice inside despite us informing to keep the ice minimal.

Lala Fried With Belacan (Medium Size) @ RM 25.00
The first dish to arrive was the above Lala Fried With Belacan. This was a medium sized dish. This restaurant has most of its dishes divided into three portion sizes, Small, Medium and Large. This dish was surely good. The belacan had seeped in well into the Lala and it was of good quality and taste. A recommended dish here especially if you love Lala. I would rate this dish 9/10 .

Crab Soft Shell Butter (Large) @ RM 60.00

This is one of the must order dishes at this restaurant. It is a huge portion of Soft Shell Butter Crabs. Crabs are expensive nowadays and therefore this dish cost RM 60.00. I just love their Butter Crabs. They are prepared in a excellent manner and is an excellent dish to share with the family. I would rate this dish 8/10 .

Bendi Belacan (Medium) @ RM 15.00

The above is another good dish here. The Bendi was done well, not overcooked and still crispy. The juices were also still maintained and kept intact. It was also priced reasonably I feel. I would rate this dish 7/10 .

Chicken Paprike (Medium) @ RM 25.00
This dish was okay. Not so great but it was not bad either. I would rate it 6/10 .

Tom Yam Merah Seafood (Large) @ RM 40.00
This by far is one of the best Tom Yam Soup that I have ever tried. Here they have two varieties of Tom Yam Soup, the red one and the white one. I have not tried the White Tom Yam Soup but this Red One is surely delicious. It was superb, spicy and had a great balance of taste. I highly recommended dish. I would rate this dish 10/10 .

Yam Basket @ RM 25.00
This dish comes only in a single size, perhaps they only have one mold size in the kitchen. This dish, was not the best Yam Basket that I have ever tried. However, it was not bad for a Halal Yam Basket. I have tried better ones in Halal Chinese Restaurants too. My rating for this dish would only be 5/10 .

Broccoli Mushrooms (Medium) @ RM 25.00
This dish was good. I loved the base sauce and the vegetables were fresh. I would rate this dish 7/10 .

White Rice @ RM 14.00
The white rice was calculated based on seven people and charged at RM 2.00 per person summing it up to RM 14.00 .

Egg Omelette with Crab Meat (Medium) @ RM 15.00
This was another dish that I liked. They had a variety of filling options to chose from and we chose Crab Meat. It was nice and well done. I would rate this dish at 8/10 .

Besides the above dishes, we also ordered another single serving of Thai Fried Rice and a single serving of Phad Thai. One thing that I missed to mention here is that when you arrive, they would usually serve you with a small plate of peanuts and another of crackers. Both of which is charged at RM 2.50 each . The other miscellaneous charges are the Wet Towels etc. On the whole the bill for the day came to RM 292.30 .This restaurant does serve good food on the whole but can be a little pricey. It surely is not a restaurant that we would want to dine in everyday as that would burn a hole in the wallet, however occasionally is fine.

  1. 敬爱的佛教信土:
    我是甲洞三宝寺 (暹廟) SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION NO: 19-21 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. 的理事, 当任此职多年, 对内的事務也一清二楚。

    最近, 在网络上看了PHRA PIYATHAMMO和尚和马华公会鸱唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的双方信件, 使我的内心久久不能平伏, 良心受到很大的譴責, 不吐訢不痛快, 所以我要誠恳的説:他叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)侓师叫外来的流流氓到三宝寺(暹廟)挑衅和尚打架及电招警方人员扣捕沙彌, 其嘲笑手法, 不外是要显示其权力, 而鞏固其职位, 以达到权力就是一切, 好让住持难堪, 自动離开, 方便行事……这种举动, 已间接的表逹其含意, 住持和尚兼顾问, 都无能为力,你们这些信徒能做什么?即使告马耒西亜佛教总会又能为难什么?这种心态, 的硧令人反感, 不是一个正信佛教者应有的行为。

    至今, 三宝寺的理事成员多数是其親戚, 这是实事, 加入会员需交RM100元费用,同时,必须经过叶金福(Yip Kum Fook)律师的同意,否则免談, 所以会员也不多。

    马华公会鹅唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师,自控制三宝寺之後,把三宝寺(暹廟)当着私人產業,聘用和尚賺钱,利用佛教的道地为政治活动埸所,而处理三宝寺的钱财也不透明?这点,值得信众追问。马来西亚地擴人多,和尚也不缺乏,为什么不用本地和尚当任住持化缘,却偏偏劳心劳神,浪费签证费,交通费? 还要烦劳梹城佛总的推荐信, 向文化不同, 而語言又不通之千哩外囯缅旬和尚求助? 为什么….为什么? 只要我们用头脑想一想,便一日了然, 不必晝虎添足。

    叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师说:欢迎任何人如有意见,可以电话03:62762369/0122039700 Email: YIPKUMFOOK@HOTMAIL.COM 戓到其马华公会鹅唛区会甲洞三宝寺及以下地圵:NO.2,B JALAN 53 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 SELANGOR, MALAYSIA.討論, 我要老实的提醒大家, 最好不要一个去見他, 因为这个人狡滑, 笑裡藏刀, 很阴险, 出家人都不放在眼裡, 連TAMAN DAYA 52100 KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR. 众人的印度廟也敢放火燒, 利用权势把场地佔为己有, 由此可见, 他是何等的心毒? 还有现在三宝寺内, 各处都按裝计孔监视来人一举一动。

    目前, 三宝寺很多信徒及当地居民, 已经对叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师不满, 但也不能做什么。他计划把三宝寺主席的职位轉给其子YIP JIUN HANN律师, 续承皇朝. 想近一部了觧詳情, 可上网得知。

    再说, 根据前理事在网络上给叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的批評, 説他懂得包裝自己的道德守则, 以宗教为幌子手, 到处募款, 啇業经营, 政治活动为重, 并没依循佛教守則行事, 也没对人道作出貢献, 只不过借三宝寺宗教之名捞取权和私利而己, 其言也不为过, 是实事。

    在此, 我恳切希望, 廣大的佛教信仰者, 给予关注, 并共創義举, 弘扬佛教. 谢谢。
