Frame Thai

Formerly known as Lai Thai, Kedai Makanan Frame Thai has been a neighbourhood staple in Petaling Jaya for many years, somewhat hidden away in Happy Mansion from the casual foodie. Don’t expect too much on décor, but despite its humble interior, the bustling restaurant has great service plus genuine Thai bites, making for a perfect spot for your next catch-up, family get-together, or even a super casual date (especially if you need to weed out the weak from the ones who can take the heat). Braised pork leg with rice (RM18), pad thai (RM15), and the punchy stir-fried minced pork with basil leaves (with rice, RM15) are the most frequently ordered dishes here, but we also love the grilled items, like grilled sausage (RM5) and grilled squid (RM20). For dessert, don’t miss the mango sticky rice (RM12) and a bowl of red rubies in coconut milk (RM12). Frame Thai also sells imported condiments, snacks and other sundries from Thailand.
