View in Google Maps Seafood Tomyam @ Pachem Thai Food
Pachem Thai Food offers an authentic taste of Thai cuisine. As the menu is limited, it can only be assumed that they take their time to perfect the recipe for each dish. It is highly recommended to try the Seafood Tom Yam, comes with plenty of fresh shrimp and crab legs with oyster mushroom for added texture. Made with homemade tom yam paste, it results in spicy flavourful broth. Though the broth is leaning more towards being spicy than it is sour, the balance of those two together will make your taste buds tingle with excitement. Just the smell of it is enough to elevate your afternoon appetite. Priced at RM20.00 per bowl, the portion is big enough for sharing. Gentle reminder: due to its short operating hours, there will always be a sea of people flocking this premise so be patient.
