Eaton Viet Thai @ Tg Bunga

 

It was a Sunday night, after swimming I and my mum went to Tanjung Bunga, somewhere near Pearl Hill there to have a set of Thaifood meal. The restaurant Eaton Viet Thai is suppose to be a housing but the owner use their terrace house as a restaurant to serve both Thaifood and Vietnamese food.

Tanjung Bunga is not a place that near my house, therefore we seldom go there to dine unless the restaurants have gained public praise  which are really worth to try or there is any special event ahead.

This day I and mum came here due to the meal voucher purchased from Milkadeal, again the online deal. Actually before the day, we had arrived this place 1 time, it was in the afternoon but the shop did not open. Also, I've made many many calls for whole day beforehand to make reservation as per requested in the voucher but nobody pick up. I was so scare that being cheated in the online deal since the shop seemed do not open at all. Until the night only they picked up and I success to make reservation for the next day lunch time. Yet, when we reached the place, they did not open the shop and we've waited for 1 hour more. OMG, again we called up and the people said they did not receive any reservation (what the hell?!) and claimed that their kitchen are closed in the noon time due to renovation. So, I made another reservation on Sunday night, hoping weekend night might have more people, so they will open.

Honestly, because of this restaurant, I've really lose confident on online deal. But this may be a good thing, because for the next time whenever I wish to purchase the voucher, I will take this as a lesson and survey the shop and their reviews properly first.

 

Their business hour, but not accurate at all. They like to open the shop whenever they like, entirely following their own mood. Even they claimed that they only close on Tuesday but they were not open when I came on Thursday, with booking! On that Sunday night, I reached the restaurant sharply at 6.30pm but they slowly opened the gate at 7pm plus, come on is this the way you guys doing business? Disappointed!

We came in and sit for about 10mins  more but still nobody came to serve us, but this is forgivable because the people were busy in kitchen and never notice there's any customer outside. 

The restaurant has two compartments, the outside one has smaller tables, which is shown in the capture picture; while they also have room which is meant for larger group.
  

While we were waiting for our dish, there was a few more people coming in, holding the printed voucher as well. Oh, I think if it was not the online deal, there might not be any customers willing to come and wait for the capricious restaurant to open. In fact, the food is just average and price is not cheap also.

 

In addition to Thai food, they have variety of Vietnamese food as well, mum stopped me from extra ordering the Vietnamese food because she was already fed up with their terrible service

 

2 Thai Lime Tea were served, couldn't deny that this drink is good, it has special aroma other than ordinary lime tea, which I can't describe

Kangkong Belacan

Green Curry Chicken

Seafood Tom Yum

Spring rolls

Fish cake, mum said it tastes bad and weird, but for me it is ok, just a little bit different from the ordinary fish cake because this one is fried until very hard, causing it not juicy at all and so chewy~

The original price should be RM88.55, honestly if I've to pay that much for this quality, I'd be really sad.
