Zhu Ling Village Centre @ Kubang Semang, BM

A friend of mine recommends this place. According to him, this place is cheaper than Khun Thai @ Butterworth and the food is great. I have not visited Khun Thai and therefore I cannot make any comparison.

Equipped with GPS device, I have no problem to locate this place. The only confusion is the restaurant name. On the sign board beside main road, it stated as Zhu Ling Village Centre but the name given by my friend was Bamboo Thai Restaurant, no wonder we missed this place on the first attempt. Luckily my friend told me to observe the sign board before the school and we managed to locate this place after another searching mission. To those interested about the place, watch out this sign board just before SRJ(K) Kubang Semang school, then take the small road beside the school and the restaurant is just located about 1km from the main road. I asked the restaurant owner why the restaurant name is different and according to him, he cannot register the Bamboo Thai name as someone already registered it. Too bad.

I was surprised and impressed to see the restaurant is quite big, clean and nicely decorated with those bamboo huts. We arrived about 1:30pm and we are the only customers. Wow, look like we book the entire restaurant, ha ha.

We ordered,
- Whole Fresh Coconut - RM3.00/pc
- White Seafood Tomyam - RM25 (small)
- Golden Prawn Cake - RM2.50/pc
- Pandan Chicken - RM2.00/pc
- Mix 4 (sambal stir fry with 4 types of bean: long bean, lady finger, coconut shoot & angled bean) - RM10 (small)
- White Rice

The Prawn Cake is crispy outside but inside the prawn meat very Q. Yes, we like it so much. The Mix 4 also nice, actually this is the first time we try on coconut shoot, very crunchy. The White Tomyam is just so so, perhaps not enough spicy kick. Overall we paid for RM54.50, with the foods that we ordered and the nice environment (not to mention we 'book' the entire restaurant), it really worth it.
