Celadon: Royal Thai Cuisine - Pavillion, KL

Sawadikrap everybody! Today my friend and I went to pavilion (yes again, I know) for some attire hunting before Chinese New Year. Guess what we have for our lunch? Yup you are right, it is a Thai restaurant which I already interested to try it for a long time due to some of my friends’ recommendation, I remember last time when I wanted to go for a try, the restaurant is was having a renovation or something, well without further ado everyone, introducing the Thai restaurant, Celadon: Royal Thai Cuisine.

The entrance of the restaurant is nicely done with their brand new architecture design (I forgot to take photos of it, sorry guys!) if you guys still remember how the previous one looks like. The internal design has been changed to darker color and added some interesting decoration as well.

Cute and colorful

Below are the food we ordered:

Main

Hor Mok Talay Ma Prao Onn (RM 22.90) – Seafood soufflé with coconut milk served in young coconut.

Phad Thai Goong (RM 22.90) – Stir-fried thai flat rice noodles with tiger prawns, eggs and tamarind sauce served with ground peanuts and bean sprouts.

Side dish

Tom Yam Celadon Poh Teak (RM 44.90) – Signature tom yam seafood soup flavoured with lime, lemongrass, chilies and hot basil leaves.

*government tax and service charges are not included for the above prices.

As soon as we finished order we found ourselves still discovering the nice color combination of the place especially the pillow wall, it had it before they renovated but this time, the pillow color pops out more due to its dark color of the cupboard.

Look at the pillowsss

Not too long of waiting, our food is served,

Hor Mok Talay Ma Prao Onn - ห่อหมกทะเลมะพร้าวอ่อน

This is one of the dish only be found in Thai restaurant, a typical Thai dish for a seafood restaurant, in this case I think they added eggs to make it a puffy texture. The important part of what makes this dish so nice to have is the Hor mok chilis (Thai curried fish mousses) mix with coconut cream, it has the smoothing texture and the fragrance of the coconut cream mixed with the texture of the fish mousses, it gets better with the curry paste, oh and it all blends well with the meat of the coconut.

Next with their signature tom yam soup for 2 persons

Keeping it warm for you guys

As the soup is served, as most of the tom yam soup does, the smell of the fresh and exotic of lemongrass is the strongest; this tom yam soup successfully contain and balance the 3 major taste which is sour, salty and spicy, good job there although I expect the level of spicy would be more, maybe they used lesser chilies for this dish but that is okay in general. Besides they manage to ‘tune down’ the level of strong smell of the seafood. Basically the ingredient for this dish include prawns, mussels, squid, straw mushroom, lemongrass, Thai chilies and basil leaves.

Now to the second main dish

Phad Thai Goong - ผัดไทยกุ้ง

Phad Thai Goong’s flat rice noddle outlook or form is more or less same as ‘kway teow’ noodle (粿條面), a Chinese type of food, Phad Thai Goong is commonly served in Thai as a street food, their local food. Most Phad Thai Goong food presentation has a common pattern, the rice noodle as main and then beside there will have some small teaspoon of ground dried chili pepper and chopped roasted peanuts, sometimes you may find some bean sprouts as well. Normally they will just use prawns only but in this restaurant they added 2 extra tiger prawns to add in the food value.

Big and juicy

We start by mixing the dried chilies, roasted peanuts and bean sprouts together with the rice noodle part before we eat. As usual the food texture is dry, good for chewing with the bean sprouts with the fried egg, do not worry about not having enough if you order this dish, this portion can fulfil your hunger stomach for sure.

We had ourselves a good time, we spent long hours there chit-chatting while still amazed by the decoration there. You guys should really come and have a try if you consider Thai food as one of your favorite food and happen to be in Pavillion, until then see you guys next time.
