Tauhu Telor, Tom Yum Goong
Ayam PengangThe food at BaliThai is pretty decent, with some hits and misses. First, the good. Tauhu Telor is one of the restaurant's recommendations, and rightly so. The dish arrived slightly colder than I imagined deep-fried beancurd and egg to be, but boy did it taste good. Especially with the peanut sauce, heaven.
The Ayam Pengang also deserves a mention. So far the best version of this dish I've tried (though I've not really tried alot, about 4-5 stalls) is at Plaza Sing foodcourt. Balithai's version is really pretty good. The chicken is tender, the marinade is tasty and the bird is grilled to perfection. What's not to like?
Now the bad. Good Tom Yum soup surely is the hallmark of a decent Thai restaurant/eatery. Even if it's not authentic, so long as it tastes spicy/sour and has fresh ingredients, most people (including me) won't really mind. But their version is way too sour. Like...cringe-worthy-sour.
Didn't finish it. (I NEVER EVER NEVER FINISH FOOD)
Another thing to note: THE SERVICE SUCKS. How can any restaurant afford to have nobody jaga the main door during peak hour? Waited like 10 minutes before a waiter looked at us... then turned away like never see us... wth.
Then, when we were finally ushered in (actually herded is a more accurate word), we saw a whole bunch of tables...empty. *up yours*
Bali Thai West Mall
Taste: 3.5/5
Value: 3 (Total bill for 4 dishes - $47)
Ambience: 3/5
(Service: 1/5 the one point is for the waiter who served us.)
