Absolute Tribal is not like your average Thai restaurant. Actually, it's not completely a Thai restaurant. Catering to as many flavours as possible, Absolute Tribal serves a fusion of Thai, Chinese and Dayak cuisines.

Dishes here ranges from the usual Thai fair like the Spicy Tom Yam to various Thai salads but also some of those local dishes like the Sarawak Laksa and Chinese-inspired Salmon Fried RIce. There are so many things offered at Absolute Tribal that there is never a dull moment.

Thai restaurants sometimes are not what they seem. Thai cuisine has such influence in our culture that it became a part of said culture especially in our foods. Pai Thai Tomyam is not the full on Thai restaurant you would expect. The establishment is more similar to what Peninsular's many Thai style, but Malay, restaurants. Which is why, while you get to see the usual like Tom Yam, other dishes would usually consists of the likes of Tri-flavour Fish or Spicy Chicken Stir-fry. Even so, this by all means still maintains its authenticity, maybe not close to the original but more with a slight Malaysian twist to it. 

Sukhumvit Restaurant already has a number of branch in Kuala Lumpur and decided that the first branch out of the main capital is in Kuching. Striving to serve the best and authentic Thai cuisine to the public for an average price, Sukhumvit rises a level by promising fast service to its patrons as an act to rival other Thai establishments around the area. Customers can enjoy an proper authentic Tom Yam in the company of Steamed Seabass with Lime or have it fried, Tiga Rasa style. No meal is complete without a dessert and Sukhumvit's Mango Sticky Rice or the seasonal Durian Sticky Rice would do the job just fine.
