Ah, rooster rice, such a easy dish that one way or the other has all of us in a chokehold. Claiming this rooster rice as the most effective I’ve had, nay, the most effective within the Klang Valley is daring, however I stand by it.

Nestled within the industrial zone of Segambut is Laos Thai 5 to 9 Delicacies. On high of serving genuine Thai delicacies and uncooked marinated seafood, this restaurant has been going viral for its RM5 rooster rice.

What I attempted at Laos Thai 5 to 9 Delicacies

Let me simply preface this by saying that whatever the meals high quality, this complete space was a parking nightmare and also you may danger shedding your sanity in quest of a spot right here. Now that we’ve established that, the second you enter the restaurant, you’re greeted by the friendliest Thai employees alongside yummy-looking rooster able to be served.

My solely focus was their RM5 rooster rice and seems, in addition they had an upsized choice for RM12.90. Curious, I took a look at their intensive menu and to my shock, the opposite dishes weren’t as reasonably priced as their rooster rice.

The restaurant highlighted an intensive choice of Thai meals in addition to uncooked, marinated seafood which appears to be all the craze as of late. Sadly, the dishes have been on the pricier facet with the Tomyam (RM45) and Uncooked Marinated Crab (RM128). How might you not go to a Thai restaurant and NOT order Thai Milk Tea (RM7), proper? Fortunately, it was creamy, scrumptious and quenched our thirst.

Thus, we determined to go forth with the rooster rice order, each the RM5 and RM12.90 one. The marginally costlier rooster rice got here with a much bigger portion of each rice and rooster. The heavenly scent of the rooster rice was wafting throughout the restaurant with most patrons ordering that. 

When the rooster rice arrived at our desk, it seemed easy however oh, what a sight it was. The steamed rooster was glistening, topped with crispy fried garlic alongside a drizzle of sauce. It was accompanied by a bowl of soup and a few sambal (which I instantly requested for extra of!).

From my first chew, I used to be transported to an entire new land of flavours simply with the rice. It was fluffy and boasted a robust garlic and soy sauce style with out being overwhelming. The rooster was cooked to perfection with the meat virtually falling off the bone.

It was flavoured good and paired nicely with the rice and not-so-spicy sambal. Even at simply RM5, the portion of the rooster rice was satisfying each when it comes to rice and rooster.

We additionally ordered the Pad Thai (RM16) which I used to be actually curious to strive contemplating the authenticity of the restaurant. The pad thai was yummy albeit a little bit small when it comes to portion dimension, contemplating the value. Within the common circumstances of pad thai, the dish is the right mixture of spicy, candy and a welcoming tinge of bitter, Nevertheless, I discovered this to be a little bit candy and didn’t examine to the marginally spicier pad thai I’ve been accustomed to.

Ultimate ideas

I want to reiterate that Laos 5 to 9 Thai Delicacies nonetheless serves the very best rooster rice I’ve ever had the privilege of attempting. Particularly for the value of RM5, it deserves a go to from Klang Valley-ians in case you’re eager on proving me incorrect. Nevertheless, the parking right here is atrocious and by no means passenger princess-friendly.

The Thai meals right here whereas undoubtedly genuine, will not be justified when it comes to worth. So, go to the restaurant for life-changing rooster rice… and that’s about it!

Professional tip: Contemplating the parking and space, go to this restaurant on the weekends as a substitute!
