We cook tomyam for lunch today. The ingredients are expensive. for the limes itself costs me Rm 2.65,cilli padi Rm1.90,tomatoes Rm 1.45,serai Rm 2.25 n lengkuas 55sen ,plus others rm1.60 n the fish head itself RM35.。。。a bottle of tomyam paste Rm8.00..
Alamak i forgot about the chicken stok.

Costly but its worth for 4 of us to hav this meal.

joanne,
yah this place is indeed too pricey, tho the tomyam is awesome but sometimes it’s very difficult to justify the price.

tho in honesty, RM 13 per slice + all other ingredients will place the cost at about RM 30, so selling at RM 60 isn’t out of the way for typical hawker margin. Then again i wish they have cheaper alternatives.

just to share, i had the same experience. perhaps its advisable not to go.

this place is really cut throat. 2 pieces of fillet fish tomyam costs RM60. when i complained about it being expensive, she said the fish is expensive. but when i checked the next day at the local market, it was only RM13 for a slice. that’s such a ridiculous markup. my total bill came to RM82 for 3!

JM & Xiao-e,
Guess they’ve gone a little too crazy about pricing! Thanks for the info.

Very pricey!!
1x Tomyam (2 slice fish) and 1 fried kangkung = RM75!! for 3 of us. The 2 slice fish already charged us RM55. WTF!
I will never go there again!

Just came back from a meal there. My advice: DON’T GO.
- only two tables occupied with two pax each when we arrived during peak dinner time. We should have taken that as a bad sign and left. Our mistake.
- non-existent service, had to go to the cook to order. To their credit the food came quickly but hey, there wasn’t any other customers
- for the two of us, the bill came to RM 60 for two vegetable dishes (petai and kailan), one tomyam having one measly chunk of fish and two rice. Too pricey!

To our surprise, when we asked for the bill, we were told we were ‘pah pai’. We will NEVER go back there again.

sissonne,

it’s true though the price is pretty high for that sort of set up, but gotta admit that the food is still pretty good.

dont bother going there laa, over priced already. they were around there for quite some time but i’m not sure whether was it continued from the same cook since last time.

somehow, when i was there recently, everything looks so dis-organized….service was bad, ran out of rice had to wait long, had to was my own cups and bowls, had to wait for them to boil hot water, everything was slowww…nobody takes your order till u gotta walk up to them and talk to them…

it was so different from last time i tell u…it was really good, cheap and fast last time, unlike now, pricey. well at least the quality is still there but i rather go somewhere else for such thai food

[...] The breakfast was a little over RM 3, in line with the average price despite the popularity. Parking at old town is usually a bit of a PITA, but the meal was worth it. The kueh teow soup stall is based at Soon Lee coffee shop, nearby to the excellent tomyam and the night market bak kut teh place at PJ old town. Related Posts: [...]
