Khun Thai: An authentic seafood feast!🦞

#springitinerary 📍Address: 104, Jalan Permatang Tengah, Permatang Tengah, 13000 Butterworth, Pulau Pinang, 马来西亚 🕰️Business Hours: 11am-12am If you’re craving a true Thai dining experience right here in Butterworth, KhunThai is a must-visit. The moment you step in, you’re greeted by a rustic, kampung-style atmosphere that instantly feels like a mini escape to Thailand. We went with a group and ordered a feast that really showcased what this place is all about. Here’s what we had: 1. Fresh Oysters – Served on ice, these were plump, clean, and came with Thai dipping sauces that added that spicy-tangy kick. So fresh! 2. Grilled Salted Prawns – Simple but packed with flavor. The prawns were juicy with a nice smoky aroma from the grill. 3. Grilled Salted Fish – Moist and tender flesh hidden beneath a thick salt crust. Best eaten with white rice and some chili dip. 4. Pandan Fried Chicken – Fragrant, crispy, and juicy. The pandan really infused the chicken with a sweet, herby aroma. 5. Seafood Tom Yum – Bold, spicy, and sour just the way tom yum should be. Loaded with seafood and perfect for sharing. 6. Thai-Style Steamed Sotong – This was a surprise favorite! The squid was tender and soaked in a zesty, garlicky lime broth. 7. Sweet Mango – Just the fruit, perfectly ripe and juicy. A simple, refreshing end to the meal. We left with full bellies and happy hearts. KhunThai isn’t just about the food—it’s the whole vibe. Perfect for family dinners or big group catch-ups. #springitinerary #foodie #seafood
