Awet Thai Restaurant - you may or may not heard of it. But it is pretty popular for its Thai food, I didn't even know of its existence till dad told me about it. If you need a good Thai fix, this is the place.
There are several outlets, but I tried out the one in Kampung Kayu Ara. The restaurant itself is located off the mainroad, where one would have to turn into Kampung Kayu Ara to find the restaurant. On weekends, it is crowded and jam packed with customers. It is definitely a good idea to book a place prior to visiting the place.

| Tom Yum Soup |
Do not expect bland watery tomyum here. Instead, you get a thick and well boiled tomyum soup. The strong taste of tom yum and ginger is present. However, the seafood in the tom yum soup was not overpowered by the tom yum taste, instead it contributed a deliciously seafood taste in the soup itself.

Thai Salad
|
The Thai salad is simple and unpretentious. Fresh juicy prawns are tossed with onions, chili, minced pork and capsicum, a significant hint of lime juice coated all the ingredients. It was sour but delicious, I am confident that a splash of fish oil was added into the salad.
 |
| Tom Som |
This is different from the normal red tom yum soup, instead it is of clear broth but nonetheless, delicious. Between the tom yum and tom som, I love the tom sum better.
 |
| Stir Fried Angle Beans |
The angle beans was stir fried in basic garlic and oil and combination. It was delicious, but I was less than impressed by the amount of starch they added into the dish to give it a whole glossy, thick coating.

| Salt Baked Fish |

| Salt Baked Fish |
The fish was covered in thick sea salt before being tossed into the oven for baking. The outer crust is salt based and will be removed, we will only consume the flesh itself. The fish was delicious and the salt gave the fish a simple seasoning that doesn't outshines the freshness of the fish itself. Best eaten when freshly served.
 |
| Pork Chop |
The pork chop is Awet Thai Seafood Restaurant signature dish. The pork chop was surprisingly tender and well marinated. When dipped into the sauce of garlic and chili, it was good, The pork chop was tender enough to be made for sandwiches.

| Baked Pumpkin with Eggs |

| Baked Pumpkin with Eggs |
The baked pumpkin with eggs was superb and damn good. I can just have it for dinner. The pumpkin was baked to softness and perfection where each spoon digs into the flesh easily. The egg custard complimented the pumpkin so well. The richness of the egg custard complimented the blandness of the pumpkin. I really recommend it.
 |
| Ice Kacang |
The ice kacang was a disappointment. It was bland despite the mountain of ingredients added into the bowl of ice.
 |
| Mango with Glutinous Rice |
 |
| Mango with Glutinous Rice |
Another signature Thai dessert which deserves two thumbs up. The glutinous rice was warm and goes well with the coconut milk and mango. Nothing says comfort food like the combination. It was just so good with warm rice, cold mango and cold coconut milk.
I would return for a second round definitely and the dessert makes it to the top of my list. It would be a good place for some above average Thai food.
