Lanna Restaurant - amazing thai cuisine @ Bangsar.

Frontage of Lanna

The Christmas holiday has just passed and it is not a very fortunate day for us who have to work on this Monday after the so-called long holiday. Traffic was a breeze, a consolation. I was apparently dragging myself up this morning but the thought of having an important appointment drove me up immediately. 'Turbo charged style'. LOL.

This appointment was to take place at Bangsar. A place where finding a parking space is almost zero. Most people who flock into Bangsar during peak hours have to make-do with illegal parking style. It is not something we want to do but rather forced to do so.

We decided to head towards 'Lanna Restaurant' as my client says they serve pretty good set lunches at reasonable price. This place according to my client is a popular place amongst the lunch crowd. We had 'Thai Fried Rice' and 'Lanna Daily Set' each going for RM9.30+.

Thai Fried Rice Set @ RM9.30+

The Thai fried rice set comes with two pieces of fried chicken which was rather bland and dry. The meat was hard. The Thai fried rice was just very ordinary and nothing special about it. I was very disappointed as I was expecting something better than what I had cause we were told that the chef is from Thailand.

Lanna Daily Set @ RM9.30+

My client's 'Lanna Daily Set' comes with some fish, chicken, vegetables, 'ikan bilis' and a bowl of tom yam soup. And of course a bowl of white rice. This set is really a bargain. Both the chicken and fish tasted very simple indeed but a tad too salty. The tom yam soup was good but was served mild warm which I would have prefered it to be 'hot'.

Conclusion : There are more than a dozen of set lunches to choose from. Food was very simple and nothing to shout about but if you are looking for a place with lovely ambiance or environment rather than food quality this place is recommended. Service was good too. Their waiter was very attentive and service was quick too. A 2/5. This place is open for both lunch and dinner.

Cheers.
