[Best Thai Cuisine in Petaling Jaya!!]
Recently I been searching for really good authenticity and comfort Thai Cuisines within Petaling Jaya, PJ and guess what I found!! Go Thai Restaurant, has been operating for 3 years which located in the heart of SS2, Petaling Jaya plus they established another outlet at Atria Mall which is only 3KM away from SS2. Go Thai's a cozy restaurant which focuses on serving street and comfort food. They menu is rather simple and accessible to order when in a rush.Talking about rush, I realize their food actually served within 10 minutes after order which was efficient. Let's be honest there wasn't much Thai restaurant for now at SS2, Petaling Jaya so as far as I know Go Thai Restaurant's nominated as one of the Best Thai Street food you can get in SS2 now!!

Food Photos
Thai cuisine (Thai: อาหารไทย, RTGS: ahan thai, pronounced [ʔāː.hǎːn tʰāj]) is the national cuisine of Thailand.
Thai cooking places emphasis on lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components and a spicy edge. Thai chef McDang characterizes Thai food as demonstrating "intricacy; attention to detail; texture; color; taste; and the use of ingredients with medicinal benefits, as well as good flavor", as well as care being given to the food's appearance, smell and context.
1.Main Course
Kaeng Keaw Wan Gai(green curry chicken rice) @ RM15.90
Green curry (Thai: แกงเขียวหวาน, RTGS: kaeng khiao wan, pronounced [kɛ̄ːŋ kʰǐaw wǎːn], literally sweet green curry) is a central Thai variety of curry.
The name "green" curry derives from the color of the dish, which comes from green chillies. The "sweet" in the Thai name (wan means 'sweet') refers to the particular color green itself and not to the taste of the curry.As this is a Thai curry based on coconut milk and fresh green chillies, the color comes out creamy mild green or, as this color is called in Thai, "sweet green". Its ingredients are not exactly fixed. The curry is not necessarily sweeter than other Thai curries but, although the spiciness varies, it tends to be more pungent than the milder red curries.
Food Review : Green curry was creamy and not too sweet on the flavor, the coconut milk was fresh plus the chicken was absolute tender to start wuth.

Khao Kha Moo (stewed pork leg with rice) @ RM11.90
Best-seller here and it continues to be a main pulling factor in attracting returning customers. Slices of meat from the pork knuckle or also known as Pork feet. Served with braised egg,salted vegetable,kai lan vegetable,special thai special and a warm rice to mesh with. Do remember to ask for extra gravy soup which's free and delicious, tasted like herber soup or bak kut teh.
Food Review : The pork kunckle meat was tender and the sauce is a tad lighter and not as rich. Nevertheless, the flavor is spot on and the chili sauce was great too.
Tomyam Seafood RM 14.90
One of Thailand well-known dish which is the Tomyam Seafood couldn't miss out while dining in a Thai restaurant right? Their broth's boiled with shrimp shell and pork bones to get the essential exotic flavor to bring tomyam tasting to the next level. Loaded with squids,prawns,onion,tomatoes,ginger and etc. Goes well with white rice.
Kai Jeaw Poo( Michelin star inspired famous crab omelette) RM 24.90
Tons of minced crab meat grained together and fried with with layer of eggs to achieves fluffiness and crispiness on the outside and meatiness in the inside. Not a easy process which required years of experience and skills to cook it.
2.Dessert & Finger Food
Khao Neow Sangkaya(Sticky Rice with egg custard) RM 8.90
Mango sticky rice is a traditional Thai dessert made with glutinous rice, fresh mango and coconut milk, and eaten with a fork, spoon, or sometimes the hands. At Go Thai Restaurant, they served it with some fried thai yellow beans (Tow jiew Kao ) which adds on a little salty and crunchiness on to the fried which was pretty good combination when eat together with the sweet mango plus the portion was big ..
Tub Thim Krob(Famous red rubbies coconut milk dessert) RM 7.90
Thapthim krop is one of the most famous Thai desserts, which is made of cubes of water chestnuts in syrup coated with red food coloring. This dessert is known as "pomegranate seeds" or "rubies" because of its appearance. It is usually eaten with coconut milk and ice cubes. Here they served it with a scoop of home made coconut ice cream.
Food Review : I personally would prefer if the ice could be a little more softer . Overall was sweet and comfortable after having all the spicy and fried dishes.
Som Tum Khai Kem(Papaya Salad with salted egg) RM 9.90
Papaya Salad with Salted Egg is the one dish of Thai spicy salad. The original of papaya salad or Som Tum is from Laos, called ส้มตำไข่เค็ม [Som Tam Kai Kem].
It was my first time trying this dish and trust me not everyone will end up liking it.
Thod Mun Moo (Authentic Pork Cakes) RM 9.90
Lovely snack, crispy crunch and meaty pork meat inside feel with herbs and spices.
The Moo Ping (charcoal grilled pork) RM11.90
The real deal!!. It had a nice charcoal aroma and just the right amount of fat which gives it that juicy and tender bite.
