Right opposite to Chung Ling Private High School along Jalan Air Hitam, Yum Saap is a neighborhood Thai restaurant that serves classic southern Thai stir fry dishes. The menu is pretty extensive- from the timeless Thai appetizers to mains like Tom Yum, they even have Thai raw marinated Seafood. Prices are reasonable, expect around Rm 20- Rm 30 per pax for a meal here. The facade may not seem too appealing but there is an indoor, air-conditioned dining area. Regular patrons start to flood in after 6:30 pm, so be there early if you need to secure a table in the air-conditioned dining area.
A quintessential start to a Thai meal- the Som Tum Thai had all the boxes ticked... crunchy, spicy, sour, backed by a herbaceous aroma. It was indeed a beautifully done Som Tum. The Tom Yum Seafood was good too- not overly spicy but the sour element was there. They were quite generous with the Seafood too, though Fish meat was missing, they made up the numbers by adding Squid, Prawns and Mushrooms to the spicy Thai soup. We also enjoyed the Fried Tilapia served with Thai Sauce, a pretty straight-forward dish but the fish was well-fried to an addictive crisp. Disappointment kicked in with the Fried Chicken Drumstick, the seasoning was fine but the Chicken was undercooked, especially at the tendon side. We were very much displeased by this.
