Pakdokter decided to venture out to the opposite side of the city for dinner and finally decided to go to the Tamarind Springs at the Taman Tun Abdul Razak residential district. The restaurant used to be the clubhouse of the nearby Menara Indah Apartment but has been taken over by this enterpreneur who turned it into a very rustic dining establishment. It has a very 'jungle' feel to it - one has to walk downhill along a passage through thick 'forest' before reaching this lovely restaurant with Asian decor now serving IndoChinese cusine at the upper floor called the 'Tamarind Springs' and Malay-Thai cusine at the lower deck outlet called 'Mandi-Mandi".
We tried out the 'Mandi-Mandi' platter - a selection of the chef's starters made up of long deep-fried crab-sticks, sotong dough-nuts and mussels cooked with basil with dipping sauces for the crab-sticks and sotong dough-nuts.
For the main dinner dishes - we had ricw with steamed boneless fillet of seabass Thai-style, barbeque tenderloin beef with Thai dipping sauce, kerabu paku Malay style and soft-shell crab served with slices of red apple.
It turned out to be a great 'find' for us. The lychee and mint frappe was great to temper the spicy Thai sauces. So was the lemon grass tea. Pakdokter could not take any more dessert - Raena had a delicious set of 'tako' and pakdokter's partner tried out their bowl of red dragon-fruit cubes served with ice-cream.
