Sorry for not updating this blog as I was busy setting up a new domain. Its running smoothly now. Do kindly drop by to catch up with the latest updates on the Best of Penang Food at :
ChokDeeThai is a Non-Halal restaurant in a two-storey shop house located in the heavy traffic Burma Road, Penang. It starts operating at this new premises since it shifted from its previous place in the neighbourhood of Island Glades. The interior of the restaurant has a very relaxing and pleasant environment.
The menu has a wide selection of authentic Thai cuisine. It was nice to hear from the owner that the level of spiciness of the food can be cooked according to each individual personal taste. We started with a plate of assorted green vegetables which was accompanied with appetite-whetting sambal belacan.
We chose one of their delicious soups ... the hot and sour clear seafood Tomyam soup. The soup has prawns, fish and squid together with mushrooms, tomato and chili. The fresh seafood enhances the taste of the soup.
Stir-fry chicken with basil leaves. The aroma of the basil leaves with the soy sauce is a tasty gravy to go with white rice.
Thai fried fish cakes served with sweet chili sauce (minimum four patties per order). It has finely shredded kaffir leaves and bits sizes of green beans.
Spicy long beans fried with meat.
We were introduced to this dessert known as Tao Suan (1st photo). It is sweet mung beans porridge serve with slightly salty coconut milk and is eaten warm. Tasted good...recommend to try it out.
The above dishes with two delicious dessert cost RM78.

A sumptuous lunch with my choice of soup, blanched vegetables, siew bak and char siew.
Always try to go early as the crowd gets larger around lunch hour.
