A few days ago my cravings for Thai food suddenly hits, and since we’re not out of this whole Covid-19 wood work just yet, I was giving myself some dining criteria – somewhere that’s not crowded and somewhat open air. A bit of Google-fu later, we found ourselves at this relatively new Thai restaurant in Bandar Baru Klang by the name of Baan Korat.
Baan Korat, Bandar Baru Klang
Baan Korat is operated by a couple, with the chef (the wife) being a Thai. Just by that alone you know you’d be getting an authentic experience, right?
Well, luckily, yes!
The restaurant offers Thai steamboat, as well as a selected number of mainly street dishes to go with steamed rice (see menu below). The ambiance is not unlike those shops you find in Hatyai.
For the two of us, we ordered a bowl of tomyam seafood (RM 13.90), a Baan Korat special (RM 13.90), a couple moo ping (pork skewer, RM 3 each), and a serving of their Thai fish cake (RM 10). I had originally wanted grill cockles (RM 13) or grilled stuffed squid (RM 15) but unfortunately those were not available during our visit.
tomyam, baan korat special, fish cake, moo ping (pork skewer)
As for how the food tastes, well, the two soup dishes were top notch. The tomyam was full of flavor without having to be super spicy. The Baan Korat special has a pork broth that carries a strong hint of crushed peanut taste to it, and laden with seafood, egg, as well as minced pork. I thought it was quite delicious as well.
As for the two side dishes, I’d say moo ping is a must order for the fans of pork, and those fish cakes .. well, probably best be skipped even if you’re a fan of fish cake, or especially if you are one..
Thai ice tea is one of my exceptions to sweet drinks
Overall though, this is shaping up to be one of those places I would definitely love going again. Happy food hunt and stay safe!

I love Thai! That moo ping! Such a big piece! I wonder what that baan korat special is, sure would love to try!
suituapui: Moo ping is the best Thai invention since massages!
ROTFLMAO!!!
There’s a new Thai restaurant near me too with a few dishes that I wanna to try out, hopefully I can make it really soon.
PS: I saw that my comment is some of your posts missing, why ar?
CHoi Yen: ooo good to be able to try out restaurants again, hopefuly soon! Not sure why comment went missing, maybe some database issue .. hopefully ok d.
The Baan Korat Special is special indeed, more so since you mentioned it tasted a bit like our peanut soup. Perhaps next time when I make peanut soup, I should throw in some seafood and a squeeze of lime to see how it tastes…hehe! ;D
eatwhateatwhere: yeaa, that soup is quite unique for sure.
