Chiim Contemporary Thai

As you know am not a Thai Food Fan, but then when I drove passed Burmah Road, I saw a shop, named Chiim and it says Contemporary Thai Palate. And down deep in my heart how contemporary will that be. What people says curiosity kills a cat, think that?s true. It kills my curiosity. The Chiim is actually a subsidiary of Chok Dee Thai Restaurant, next two door steps away

We just walked in without 2nd thought and we both thought this must be something like Mom?s Kitchen. Well, we were wrong, it?s simple as only 1 sheet of menu for you to choose their specialty that?s all.

To ?Chow? ? where you could choose from the Thai?s Char Koay Teow aka Pad Thai with Prawns (RM10-90) which am having.

Other than that, they have Green Curry Fried Rice (RM8-00), Tomyam with Seafood (RM8-90) or Chicken (RM7-90), Green Curry Chicken with Rice (RM8-90) and many other more.

What hubby took was Chicken & Basil Leaves with Sunny Side Up Egg (RM8-90), it?s also Chiim?s specialty.

Apart from the main, we have side dish, Thai Fish Cake, minimum order is 2 pieces and that costs RM4-00, which means 1 piece is RM2-00. We both find it a bit pricey.

With the ?Chow? of course, we?ll have something to ?Wash?, right?

What Chiim offers are ? Longan either hot or cold (RM3-50), Fresh Lime (RM5-00), Honey Green Tea with Lime either hot or cold (RM4-50), Thai Mixed Fruit Lassi (RM4-00) and all these are Chiim?s specialty.

Be forewarned that the serving is small, hubby was highlighting his portion could hardly fill his stomach, ended up looking for his favorite ?Ham Chim Pang? the once famous Cintra Street roadside stall (RM0-60).

If you still intend to try out the taste, please ?Chiim Noi Si? in Thai it means sample a food.
