Taan Thai, Sunway Velocity

Sunway Velocity’s new Taan Thai is top-tier, bringing long-respected consultant chef Korn’s touch to thoughtful cooking with balanced seasonings, fresh herbs and pounded-from-scratch curry pastes.

Hand-shucked cockle yellow curry proves uniquely unmissable, a joyously juicy spicy siham symphony cushioned with sweetly tender acacia leaves.

Hor mok pla is steamy-soft with upliftingly aromatic mackerel mousse, while the pork neck salad is Isan-irresistible, succulent-smooth grilled meat and kitchen-roasted rice powder with a vivacious tang.

Taan Thai is in a mall, but its exuberantly enjoyable efforts resist commercial cliches, representing hard-earned culinary insights handed through generations.
