Oh, one thing i forgot to mention about Jaya One, the whole place had Wifi!!! cool!!! so rest assured you can eat any outlet and still be connected.
Ok i went to this place called Kinnaree on Tuesday. Kinnaree is a thai restaurant which serves, duh, thai food lah. This is their first branch here in Malaysia. The are actually quite famous in Thailand, so famous that they were in Thailand's "Tatler's Guide to Restaurants in Thailand". Yup, you you are listed in tatler's food guide, then the restaurant has to be high class and of course the taste has to be there as well.
So how does the Malaysian branch fare?
When we walked in the place, the place was well decorated. however, a little gripe here. They used many(when i mean many, i mean a lot) candles in the restaurant, but yet they still turned on all the lights in side the restaurant, which negated the nice soft glows of the candles. I like their lotus leaf motif-ed plate.
We order tomyam of course, and then kangkung belacan, soft-shell crab cooked in spicy balck sauce and green curry chicken. The tom yam, i rate 5/10. Just passable. The 1 person "seafood" tomyam had only 1 prawn, some mushrooms and thats it. Tomyam not really that delicious although got some "kick" lah. I've had better tomyam before, definitely. The softshell crab, i rate about 6/10 cause it was too salty. Kangkung belacan, i rate 5/10 because they really overcooked the kangkung. It was all soft and limp. Plus the taste wasn't that fragrant anyway. The green curry, 4/10. Yes, its bad, so bad, i give it a "fail" since it was not even green in colour. Hahaha... But seriously, the green curry had no kick to it. Generous which the chicken but it didnt save the dish. Was very watery and the gravy not tasty. As for the dessert, we ordered the "Tub Tim krob" which is the red rubies with coconut milk. That wan i also give 5/10 although i'm tempted to fail this dish as well. The only saving grace was that they gave lots of rubies and it was full of chestnut inside rather that flour. Ok the best thing i had there was the lemongrass drink. Serve chilled, it is poured into a wine glass and has the colour of white wine. The lemongrass is not too overpowering and not too sweet either. And its refillable as well.
Service was prompt, efficient and friendly.
OVerall i give it the Death Sentence (DS) again. Looks like it was the interior designer who cooked here as well. If you want a classy high end thai restaurant, go to "To Dine For" in Chulan square instead. Better and abouit same price. This place is definitely not cheap. The total bill came to about RM120.
Ambience: 7/10
Taste: 4/10
Service: 7/10
