12 February 2011: Chengmai Thai Food is known as the best Thai restaurant in town. It is located quite deep inside a residential area called Kampung Kulim in Wakaf Bharu.


Chengmai Thai Food Restaurant uses traditional attap roof. Hence, even without air-cond, it's quite cooling dining there, under the attap roof. Here's what we had...

• Thai-style Steam Grouper Fish (RM30) -> Fresh grouper fish in very tasty and appetizing sauce. I almost couldn't stop eating this. Highly recommended.
  
• Pandan Leaves Chicken (RM20) -> 10 pieces of chicken wrapped in pandan leaves. Not the best I've ever had, but not bad. Reasonable price.
  
• Deep-fried Kangkung (RM8) -> It's my first time seeing and trying deep-fried kangkung. Great experience. Crispy and tasty while the kangkung is still fresh, not overcooked. Worth a try. Recommended.
  
• Seafood in Otak-otak (RM18) -> Various types of seafood (prawns, squid, crab, etc...) wrapped in tasty otak-otak. The otak-otak is slightly spicy but appetizing.
  
• Deep-fried Pork Knuckle (RM47) -> Very big portion. Pork is not very fresh, with kind of weird taste. Overpriced. However, I was told that this dish used to be very good on other days. I guess maybe they are running out of fresh pork due to the high demand during Chinese New Year.

In conclusion, Chengmai Thai Food is worth a visit. There are few others famous Thai restaurant nearby, such as Bangkok and Phuket but Chengmai is said to be the best.
