A new Thai food joint in Georgetown- Rangoon Road (few doors away from White Bowl Curry Mee): Bann Thai, serves a big Thai menu featuring the classic Thai delights; the standard Tom Yum, Som Tam, Pad Kra Pao etc are all on the list. Nothing spectacular about the exterior and interior decor, pretty much a standard air-conditioned restaurant. The prices are fair and reasonable given that their serving portions are big. Quality-wise, some hits and misses.
The mandatory Thai starter- Thai Papaya Salad... was good, with the right amount of seasoning and acidity/heat; just that too much of Carrots were added. More like Papaya-Carrot Salad instead of the classic Papaya salad. The Sambal Petai Prawns was our favorite of the day- the Petai was perfectly cooked to the right doneness... nutty but backed with bold Curry aroma. The Steamed Otak-Otak with Seafood was alright with a bold Coconut Milk aroma but missing the X factor. Probably the Herb element can be stronger. The Pad Thai needs some improvements- while we were amazed by the generous portion, the seasoning was on the weaker side. There was no Wok Hei and bland. Equally disappointing- the Pork Leg... over-fried with tough texture, fortunately the Chili dip was really good.
