Poppy Thai Restaurant in Melaka


To my knowledge, there is only 3 Thai restaurant in Melaka i.e King's Hotel, Lerk Thai in Aeon Jusco and Poppy Thai. I have tried all these 3 Thai restaurant. I have review King's Hotel Thai restaurant before in my facebook page. Today I'm going to talk about Poppy Thai Restaurant recently opened in Taman Melaka Raya, Melaka.
This Thai Restaurant is cheapest among all the Thai restaurant that I mentioned above. This restaurant is open by Thai people. They talked in Thai language among themselves and when they take order, they write in Thai language. How I know, I happen to notice it. They have a lot of variety in terms of dishes, rice and noodles. Their Tom Yam Kong is sour and spicy, their fish is fresh ( when a fish is fresh or not you will know). When I first walk in to the restaurant, it's quite scary as not much people is inside, and you will think that maybe the food is not nice but it's vice verse. Don't judge it's book by it's cover. Most important thing is the price they charged is reasonable, good service and their place is clean. It's worth a try.
Ok, what are the cons ? Don't order fry rice, their fried rice does not have enough of "wok heat" translate in cantonese that you will know what I talk about. My colleague who went there for lunch and order a pineapple fried rice have the same opinion. For dessert, I tried their Red Ruby and Mango Sticky Rice. Their Red Ruby is not very Q Q. I think that King's Hotel dessert's it's the best among all the Thai Restaurant.
This is merely my opinion, If you are not agreed then close this page.



Steam Jinak Fish with Chili Padi and Lime Juice. They actually have a small candle burning below. Their gravy is full the sourness of lime, the spicyness of chili and the sweetness of the fish
Fried Oyster With Egg and Bean Sprout - Thai Style
Tom Yam Kong. This soup has other sea food but only the fishball is floating on top.
This is Thai Red Chicken Curry. This is not as scary as Thai Green Curry. This curry is full of Thai spices, where the gravy is not as thick as Malaysia curry. I specially like the eggplant in the curry.
