Eastern Wishes Nanyang ＆Thai Restaurant（南洋泰餐小厨）

This is one of my favorite place for Thai cuisine. They don't serve authentic Thai dishes but it's sort of a mix of Hakka and Thai cuisine, which I think, suits better for the local flavors. Located at the i-Avenue commercial shops, this restaurant is one of the popular place for lunch and dinner for those who works around Bayan Lepas area. The dishes are priced very reasonably, with a large variety of choices. They also have set lunch meal, inclusive a bowl of soup, drink and a main dishes. Remember to check out the Today Special too.

Cozy ambiance, great place not just for lunch and dinner, you would be surprised by the desserts too, which I am going to introduce in this post.




Below are some of my favorite choices of all time. I have plenty to intro but I couldn't find the photos of my previous visits at the moment. Just bear with the text and you will not regret to order them.

Fried crispy kangkung.




Green curry chicken.




Hainan black sauce pork.




Chendol. This would be the best chendol that we've ever eaten! Yes, in Penang. Even better than the most famous Chendol. It looks like snowy ice, but I guess this is what that makes the whole process of eating well controlled as it melts slowly without becoming too watery. BUT, remember one thing, DON'T mix the chendol (the green worm-like-jelly) with the ice when you're eating, else it would freeze and then loses its chewiness. So scoop slowly and enjoy chewing.




Another very nice dessert - Tab Tim Krob (Red Rubies). It's actually water-chestnuts coated in tapioca flour (colored red), served with jack-fruit slices in coconut milk. Very rich taste.




Other dishes of my choice (but couldn't find the photos):
- Black Pepper Crispy Squid
- Glass chicken leg kerabu
- Tomyam seafood
- Pad Ped
