I went to a newly opened Thai Restaurant at the Hills two weeks ago with HG and my in laws. It's called 'Absolute Tribal'. Let's check the place out...
Looks like an interesting restaurant from the outside, how about the inner setting?
Nice ambience and great interior design too. According to HG's sis, the owner designed these himself.
How about the food? We ordered steamed rice to go with the followings (all in small portion):
The apetizer: Yam Ma-Muang @ Spicy Mango Salad. RM 12. Thin raw mango slices with peanuts. A mix of sweet and sour plus some spices. I personally would recommend to try this out since it's Thai Cuisine.
Tom Yam Thalay @ Tom Yam Seafood. RM 25. Well this is a MUST try for Tom Yam lovers. We are all not good at hot and spicy food, so the Thai chef did a 'mild' one for us. Still, I could feel the 'hotness' in my throat and stomach. Although I'm not a fans of hot and spicy food, this soup tastes GREAT! The aroma of the spices and herbs. Finish it while it's still hot, go with a bowl of rice! Yummy!
Radna Kueh Teow. RM 6. To be honest, I think it tastes just like ordinary cantonese style kueh teow except that the sauce is a bit sweeter and with lots of garlic.
Kha-Na Tod @ Deep Fried Kailan. RM 15. I'm not sure whether or not this is Thai style cooking but HG and his sis like it. The chocolate yellowish thing on the vege is chicken floss.
Kai Hobai Toey @ Pandan Leave Chicken. Each piece is RM3.50. I personally think this is not as good as those I've ever tried elsewhere. The chicken was a bit dried (not juicy and tender) and I didn't smell the fragrance of Pandan leaves or other spices.
So, let's look at my review on a scale of 5 stars:
Design & ambience: 4 stars
Food taste & presentation: 3.5 stars
Price and portion: 3 stars, our total bill =RM 92, with no drinks ordered, but they serve plain water with lime, excluding service and government taxes
On overall, I would recommend this as a place for events such as romantic dates, family gatherings on special occasions, friends' meetups. If you are a hot and spicy Thai food lover, you should come too as the chef is a genuine Thai. They also sell different types of liquors and coffees, just too bad that I'm not a fans of any of those so I didn't try them out. The restaurant contact number is 082-237468 and it's situated on level 2 of Hills shopping mall, next to Digi service centre.
