Mueng Thai

Its ho-hum surroundings might not offer much encouragement, but Mueng Thai’s affordable, top-drawer Thai treats represent the silver lining in Pusat Perdagangan NZX’s cheerless cloud of closed restaurants. The standout here is the marvellous bitter gourd curry chicken – it possesses a mild tartness that reins in the thick, not overly spicy curry’s sweetness and sets it apart from its ubiquitous green curry counterpart. The tom yam seafood special with crab and kerabu mango salad are other highlights on the nondescript restaurant’s extensive menu.
