It was probably more than year since we went to Nong and Jimmy Thai BBQ Seafood place the last time. A place we usually refer to as “that Cheras tomyam place”, though it is actually located in Taman Cahaya and geographically not even really in Cheras, but Ampang instead. Last friday 5 of us decided to do treat ourselves some good ol’ favorites.
we ordered up a feast
ST, faggot, margie, kerol and I got to the restaurant and luckily was able to find a table without much hassle though it was a busy friday night. (I called suan but she didn’t manage to pick up.. ) The restaurant is more like a roof with some light fixtures and fan over concrete surface where they put lots of cheap tables and chairs. Do not expect air conditioning or comfortable chairs, they concentrate on food, not comfort nor the whole dining experience thingy.
ST, faggot, margie, & kerol
We ordered a basket of BBQ cockles, a claypot tomyam, BBQ prawns, BBQ stingray fish, fried squid, and kailan vegetables to go with some fried rice that includes big juicy prawns in it. The claypot tomyam and the BBQ prawn is a must, tomyam is served with prawn and squid as the main ingredients. The tomyam here tastes a little different from those that you get from mamak restaurants or Malay outlets, it is a little closer to authentic Thai flavour, we like it.
cockles, prawns, special chili sauce with peanuts, BBQ fish
Not everyone eats cockles, but if you do, do not pass it up. The chili sauce with peanuts goes very, very well with the BBQ cockles, and basically other BBQ dishes like BBQ prawns and fish. The fried curry squid was pretty good too and provided a nice departure from having too many BBQ dishes. You can order white rice to go with the dishes, but to really get some serious prawn overdose, go for the fried rice instead.

Needless to say, we gobbled up everything and had happy stomachs to kick start the weekend. You can too, check out the patented map!

soowm: yes it’s still there.. but the last time I tried it, it had a funny plastic taste. Maybe they accidentally dissolved a chopstick in there or something!
This place is like a 5 min walk from my place.. If you return the chilled tissue in the topmost right picture, you save RM1.50 off your bill! Ka ka ka ka ka.

Dude, I think you got the map wrong. The highway featured in your map is not the KESAS Highway, it’s actually the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2). And I don’t think the exit is called Pandan Jaya exit, but rather Taman Cahaya. The Pandan Jaya exit is the one before it, leading to Pandan Jaya and Taman Maluri. Anyway, good job in introducing this nice eatery!

we used the Kesas Pandan Jaya exit instead of the Taman Cahaya’s from MRR2. I think.. I just know how to get there, that’s all
