Riverboat, Taman Desa

When you don’t know what to take for dinner and go round and round at Taman Desa, and you’re lucky to find out a new lovely restaurant.

Here we go, Riverboat at Taman Desa. Was supposed to visit the next door Thai’s food but a glance at this restaurant makes me want to have a try at this quite new restaurant.

 

 

 

   

 

 

Boat Noodles RM2

Interesting boat noodles, quite big portion worth RM2. I like the noodles so much, the soup taste good too.

Served with either soup braised meat or seasoned sliced meat cost same price (RM2)

 

Tub Tim Grob RM4.90

 Mock Pomegranate Seeds with Coconut and Jackfruit which named as Tub Tim Grob in Thai. Comes with quite small portion but all taste are in, coconut, jackfruit, pomegranate seed in one mouth and you will love it.

Mango Sticky Rice RM12.90

Here we go must-have-dessert in all Thai restaurants. BUT you must be pray a lot and get lots of luck before you went to Riverboat BECAUSE 1. this Mango Sticky Rice is not on the Menu and 2. for the sake of satisfying every customers 3. they only have it when they manage to buy SWEET mangoes. Yes, the mango is SWEET and served with big portion compare to others so this is worth it.

Green Papaya Salad RM9.90

Green Papaya Salad with Pickled Fish RM10.90

Green Papaya Salad as Som Tum Thai. Sour, sweet, spicy 3-in-1. Nice, tasty. You can upgrade it by adding pickled fish, Green Papaya Salad with Pickled Fish as Som Tum Pala. We asked the boss, he said, no pickled fish but just the taste. Like kind of sauce.

 

 

Tom Yum Goong Nam Sai Mix Seafood and Meat RM24.90/RM39.90

You can choose between Red Tom Yum or Clear Tom Yum, Mix Seafood and Meat, Pork and Chicken or Seafood. Served with small or big and price range around RM18.90-RM39.90

I had a Clear Tom Yum Mix Seafood and Meat. Taste really spicy like ‘if its not why are you here for Thai food’ Just a few spoon and I’m start burning. Maybe I can’t stand too spicy so for me its hot.

Green Curry Chicken/Pork RM12.90/RM13.90

What else we need other than Tom Yum? Nah, Green Curry in Thai named it as Gaeng Kiew Wan Kai/Moo, chicken or pork. When you first spoon into your mouth you can definitely taste the coconut and the thickness of the green curry.

 

   

   

 

   

 

BBQ Talapia Fish with Salt served with Vegetables, Vermicelli and Sauce RM38

This is why I’m here in this restaurant. The attractive BBQ talapia fish, its not BBQ taste is because they BBQ it out there, I mean the boss. It takes 20 minutes to ‘roast’ this fish, which covered with salt. As mentioned above, was supposed to take my dinner beside this restaurant, and a glanced I saw this weird but cool fish under roasting and make you gotta try it.

The fish is so soft and juicy that make the whole fish tasty and make me fall in love with fish. This is the best fish I have ever tried I guess, I really love it without eating with something else like rice, you can just simply eat that way.

They served with vegetables, vermicelli, and sauces. First grab a vege, put some fish on the vege, add vermicelli and each sauces on it, wrap everything up and eat. BUT before that my advice to you, TASTE the fish before you wrap everything. So that you can really taste the awesomeness of the fish.

 

  

Riverboat’s Clams in Thai Sauce RM13.90

Riverboat’s Clams in Thai Sauce. Fresh, fresh, fresh and fresh. They used fresh live clams. The sauce is nice but a little bit oily. And same as mango sticky rice, you gotta pray for it.

BBQ Pork Neck RM14.90

BBQ Pork Neck, taste like ‘Bak Kua’ (Sliced Pork Meat) This is one of my favorite dishes. They BBQ it. So good, so soft, so nice.
