Erawan, Kota Damansara
Large chunks of sweet pomelo topped with condiments (peanuts, dried shrimps, shallots, desiccated coconut etc) and drizzled with their homemade sauce. The burst of flavours were refreshing- the juicy, sweet pomelo coiled with tangy spicy sauce and ended with the crunch of the peanuts. Tremendously enjoyable, do order this if you're in Erawan.
Up next, the seafood tomyum..
Served in a dainty bowl, we chose a level 1 spiciness, as we were forewarned that Erawan's spiciness level was rather severe. Although our tolerance for spicy food was fine, we decided not to risk it and were so glad we stuck at level 1 (they have 5 levels). Even at 1, the soup was so very pedas that we started sweating heaps after a few sips. We all loved the tubular Chiangmai mushrooms in the soup, gave a nice bite while we're slurping down the soup.
We were ready to eat as the soup has opened our taste buds- and were served with the Fish and Salted Egg green curry.
A rather uncommon green curry dish, this was beautifully presented and tastes as good as it looks. The fishball was made from tenggiri fish, with a lovely bouncy texture when I bit into it. But what I love most was the creamy, velvety green curry sauce- the fragrance was enchanting and perfect with white rice.
The Steam seabass with lime sauce looks very fresh..
While Chardonnay finds this delicious, I enjoyed this, but not to the extend of gobsmacked for words. The fish went well with the spicy, sour sauce- which soaked right into the fish flesh. The more we ate, the spicier it gets, but hey, no complaints here :p
The kailan with salted fish gave our need for greens..
Simple dish, no faults to pick. Tasty.
To end our meal, we decided to try some of their desserts. Most unfortunately, the choice of dessert that we wanted was not available, so we settled for coconut ice cream and red ruby dessert.
The coconut ice cream was different from those I've sampled- there's no cream involved- just thick coconut juice frozen and mixed with julienned coconut flesh. Very enjoyable version. The red ruby on the other had, was forgettable.
Erawan serves fine Thai cuisine, the food was obviously prepared with care and patience. Overall, it was a great dining experience, I'll definitely come by again. Oh, do note, the pricing is towards the steep side, our meal for 3 pax costs RM200.

Looks good but pricey :S
jason: yeah, rather steep compared to the usual thai fare..
Such pretty receptacles! Food sounds pretty good. I hear it's always crowded!
Love the food here. great choice!
wow i really need some of this in my life. they all looks perfectly delish!
Tried their Thai red curry chicken & their asparagus with prawn- the curry was really disappointing, the asparagus was normal although the prawns were considered large. They charge RM3 for filtered water (ie plain hot/cold water- refillable)- astronomical! Lunch for 2 with 2 rice came up to RM80! Felt cheated, for that price, expected food to be exceptional.
