Pla dib @ The Heritage Village, Seri Kembangan

If it was not The Star, We would not be able to find out this hidden gem.

Pla dib, the Bangkok's top-ranked Thai fusion restaurant, has just started their business 3 months ago, situate at here Heritage Village, Seri Kembangan; facing a great view of 50-acre lake; serving the very interesting Thai fusion dishes.

Pla dib means "raw fish" in Thai.


We ran through the menu - pasta, pizza, main courses, fusion appetizers... it is more like Japanese fusion dishes or Italian cuisine. there was no sight of tom yum too.

Chris&Christine and I were here last Saturday, to savour a Fusion meal together

Fusion dishes eh?!
Let's see what we had.

Salt and Pepper Squid (RM 15)
The deep fried squid seasoned with salt and pepper.


DSC_2991

Soft Shell Crab Salad (RM 15) with mayobi dressing.
The dressing is a mix of wasabi and mayonnaise. A lovely dressing it is but I find the amount of the dressing was not enough to wet our salad.


DSC_3003

Black Fried Rice (RM 18) with squid ink and seafood
it was served with a raw egg.

Pour in the raw egg on the piping hot rice and mix well.
We love the combination of the egg in our spicy blacky-looking rice. And the additional of basil leaves were added to reduce the hotness from the chili padi. Love it, spicy and definitely best for the spicy food lovers.

Creamy Cappelini Angel Hair with Ebikko (RM 18)
Creamy and fragrant with light roasted garlic oil!!! and I love the crunchiness of ebikko in every forkful of the angel hair.

Free Dessert with every purchase of the main course!!!
That's what we got for below ^^
and we paid roughly RM 25 (per pax) for this meal

Tham Thim Khrob (RM 8) made with shaved coconut milk loaded with red rubies was very fresh and a thirst-quenching one.

Flamed Crispy Mango with Ice cream (RM 8)

DSC_3043

Durian Gelato (RM 8) was something new in the menu.
Their handmade durian ice cream was strong and fragrant and rich with durian. They love it.


Verdict: The food here was great. The presentation for the food was nice too. However, the environment in the restaurant was a bit too dark for me. Well, I must say this is a great place for the couples to drop by; either enjoying the meals in the dim-lit restaurant or sitting by the lake with the cool breeze running through, you and your companion will gotta enjoy the perfect meal here.

By the way, we were told that in near future, there will be pork dishes listed in the menu.
Looking forwards it. :)

Ever wonder why were they named Raw Fish, but instead serving cooked, fusion cuisine?
Pla Dib, the name rolls off the tongue effortlessly though.
The thab thim krob does not look anything resembling the original, with foams of coconut milk? (or was it cream, or ice cream?).

the balck rice with raw eggs seems bizzare to me...

Simon Seow said...

Aiyo, why nice food is so far from me one T_T

ai wei said...

j2kfm,
it's not cream or ice cream. it's the very original one, i guess, with coconut juice sorbet (gua) and coconut milk... a very good one.

Read some reviews abt it but
it's good to read frm u that tis food is up to expectations, cos it means it is consistent, since you are a walk-in customer.

I really liked Pla dib. I am sorry it closed. Probably not enough promotion and at the end of the block. People congregated at Riverside in the middle. I did not understand why this restaurant did not engage in more promotion of its fine foods and facilities.
