Sam Ro Thai Cuisine, Damansara Jaya

You know I can eat Thai food anytime of the day be it breakfast, lunch, dinner or supper. Recently we discovered a new Thai restaurant, Sam Ro Thai Cuisine that tucked in Damansara Jaya neighborhood. They served authentic Thai cuisine that slightly improvised to suit Malaysia tastebud; the chef is from Thailand also. By the way, Sam Ro in Thai language means trishaw.

What I really like about the about Sam Ro’s dishes is that their seafood like freshwater prawns and fishes are really fresh. They have their own breeding farm in Slim River where they get their fresh seafood supplies. The restaurant décor is simple and relax suitable for family. When we were there for dinner, the place was quite full even though they just started operating a month ago. Let’s check out their food!
