Basically you have three types of menu to choose from. 

ZEST BAR CAFE DAILY SET LUNCH 

RM20+ PER PERSON

ZEST BAR CAFE MENU

STARTER

MIANG KAM

Betel Leaves, Coconut, Dried Shrimps, Red Onions, Peanuts, Ginger & Chilli

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict: Many years back if you asked me to have miang kam, I would probably skip but years came by and I started to like taking it.  If you cannot take the betel leaves aroma, I think you will not enjoy this dish.

SOUP

TOM KHA GAI - RM12

Siam chicken soup with galangal coconut cream & local spices

TOM YAM GOONG - RM18

Fresh prawn in spicy Tom Yam Soup

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict: For me, personally I prefer Tom Yam Goong over Tom Kha Gai. As the later are full of coconut flavour. If the tom yum is a bit more spicy it would be superb.

SOM TAM - RM10

Young Papaya salad with dried shrimp and spices.

YAM MOON SEN - RM12

Glass Noodle salad with prawns, ginger flowers and lime leaf.

NOODLES

PAD THAI - RM15

Wok fried thai noodles with prawns, beansprout, beancurd & egg pattaya style.

RICE

PAD KRA PRAO - RM18

Sauteed spicy minced chicken with thai kra prao leaf. 

Choice: Chicken or Beef.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict: I would prefer that they put more basil in this dish. It is rather a sweet dish for me. A bit of small chili padi added into this would be nice. 

GREEN CURRY CHICKEN - RM18

Green curry with coconut and thai basil leaf. 

Choice: Chicken or Prawn.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict: Their green curry chicken is quite nice. 

GAENG MASSAMAN  - RM18

Chicken cooked with rich roasted peanut curry sauce and potatoes.

Choice: Chicken or Beef.

KAENG PHET - RM18

Spicy red curry prawn and vegetables.

Choice: Prawn or Chicken.

DESSERTS

KHANOM KHAO MAO - RM7

Fried bananas with grated coconut and sticy rice.

SANG KAYA FUG TONG - RM7

Steamed sweet pumpkin with custard and coconut milk.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict: Overall their two desserts that I have tried are quite delicious. Especially the Sang Kaya Fug Tong. It is something special which I never tried before.  It is actually steamed pumpkin dessert with egg custard.

During one weekend, hubby and my gal wanted to have some spicy foods for dinner. So they decided to have "Thai Food". Then hubby chose to go

Ms. Ong is a very friendly person, you can call her to book for reservation especially during weekend. The restaurant have two part ~ air conditioning and non air conditioning. If you want to have air conditioning seat, please be there early or else you have to seat outside. ^o^

And for the night we ordered:

Deep Fried Squid

My gal and I enjoyed having this very much. The squid is so crispy and yet delicious. ^o^ The squid is so tender and fresh too.

White Tom Yam Seafood's Soup

While I am busy taking photos of other dishes, hubby and gal try this white tom yam seafood's soup. After their first sip........ my gal and hubby cant stand the spiciness...... ^o^ My gal expression is so funny.

According to Ms Ong, the white tom yam will be less spicy compare to other tom yam. And the tom yam has a very rich aroma of lemon grass, chili padi, dried chili.........

Inside the bowl of tom yam seafood's, you will find prawn, squids, fish fillet, mushrooms, slice of carrots, tomatoes and........

Since they find this soup spicy and I am the one who finished most of this. Although it is spicy for hubby but he still loves the soup and he have 2 bowl of this soup.

Stir fry vegetables

Lucky that they have this dishes which is non spicy apart from the deep fried squid. ^o^

Bean curd with Thai chili sauce

Green Curry Chicken

This is the first dish to arrive. We asked our gal which curry she prefers, red or green and she chose the later. When this arrived, she starts to dig in. But after the first spoon...... she told us that it is spicy.... but nice...... ^o^ She is like having one scoop of curry and follow up by many spoon full of rices. ^o^

So at the end I think I am the one who ate all the spicy foods. Then I asked them whether next time they would like to have any "Thai Foods"? And both of them told me.... "why not?" ^o^
