Thai Fish Farm Restaurant @ Hulu Langat, Selangor

Thai Fish Farm
Nestled in Hulu Langat (just turn right into a very narrow little dingy road right after Lookout Point), is a Thai Fish Farm serving fresh seafood and vegetables cooked Thai style, owned by a Chinese "Datuk".

Fruit Station
Vege Station
The weather here seemed fresher and cooler, and most of the workers here are Thais. Smacked right in the middle of the restaurant is a huge fish pond where the fish you order is reared, and if you  come before dusk, you will also be able to see their huge vegetable plantation not far from the restaurant.

Fried Talapia with Garlic @ RM30 (RM3 per 100g)
A company of 4, we ordered 2 Talapia Fish (1 steam and 1 fried - Yes! We are big fans of fish : )), 1 Pandan Chicken, and a Stir Fried Brinjal with Garlic.The Fried Talapia with Garlic was fantastic! The fish was very fresh and crispy, and the fried garlic that accompanied it was chewy and tasty. A great dish to snack on even without rice.

Steam Talapia with Lime and Chili @ RM33
For the steam fish, we opted for the famous Lime and Chili style. It was very spicy and I would encourage asking the Chef to tone down the spiciness a notch so that you can taste the freshness of the fish. It was a good fish, but I personally found the sauce a little too sugar sweet  for my liking (Sandal liked it just the way it was).

Pandan Chicken
The Pandan Chicken at the price of RM16 came in 8 medium-sized pieces, making it very reasonable for a Thai Restaurant. Once unwrapped, you will find the chicken bursting with aromatic flavours with each bite taken.

Stir-fried Brinjal @ RM8
Last but definitely not least, the Stir-Fried Brinjal was really fresh and tasty as they grow their own vegetables here. It was stir fried with garlic and I believed, seasoned with Thai Fish Sauce. All four of us loved this dish!

BBQ Crab
Baked Fish
As this is my second visit here, I would also like to point out that we have tried their BBQ crabs which was big in size but slightly lacking in sweetness, and do avoid the Fried Squid with Salted Egg as the salted egg had a wet, mashed potato sort of texture which not only did not suit the fried squid, but also made the fried squid very soggy.



Verdict :
For a total of RM108.20, it was a tasty and reasonably-priced meal for 4. Please bear in mind that it is advisable to go with a minimum of 3 people if you intend to order 3-4 dishes as all their fishes have a minimum size of about > 900 grams, and even the chicken we ordered that served 8 medium-sized pieces, was the smallest portion they had.

If your first visit here is for dinner, once you have turned into the dodgy road with a very small sign board stating 'Thai Fish & Vegetable Farm', take note that you will be traveling through a very eerie, dark and bumpy road for about 5 minutes before you reach a clearing where the brightly-lit restaurant is, with tons of patrons.

Toothpick says : Will drop by again to try their Tom Yum, afterall, it is a Thai restaurant right? = )

Sandal says : Good food but stupid to charge RM2 per car for "trespassing private land"

  1. My family loves Thai Food. Would like to visit this place one day.

    You should try The Golden Triangle @ Solaris Mont Kiara. It serves pretty nice Thai Food. 4 pax or more would be good so that you can try out more dishes (Do try the pad thai and choo chee fish) It is however a little pricey.
    Do give it a try!

  4. Hi there, not too sure whether they have the "halal" certificate but definitely no pork. Also they serve mud crab and instead of flower crab.
