Ali Tomyam — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

This place is a real hidden gem for Thai halal cuisine, offering authentic Thai flavors.

As someone from Thailand who doesn't eat halal, I can say this restaurant really captures the taste of Southern Thai food (อาหารใต้). They use genuine Southern Thai curry paste in dishes like Kaeng Som (แกงส้ม), which gives them a spicier kick compared to your average Thai food. The Khai Lonjon (Ayam telanjang) is especially delicious and definitely worth trying.

The prices here are very reasonable, and some might even say they're cheap. The staff are friendly, even during busy times, and their bingsu desserts are not only tasty but also affordable.

However, the Tom Yum here leans more towards the Malaysian style. It tastes good, but it's quite similar to Tom Yum you'd find in other good Thai halal restaurants, not quite like what I've had in Thailand.

Since this restaurant is quite popular, I recommend making a reservation ahead of time to...

Parking is hard to find especially during weekends. The restaurants was packed to the brim yet we managed to get a table. We ordered nasi goreng cina, nasi goreng ayam kunyit, nasi putih, tomyam merah, ayam halia and telur dadar and kueh teow kungfu. Mine was the kueh teow kungfu. It's unique because it has salted bean (tauchu) and pickled chili (cili jeruk). Taste wise the kueh teow kungfu is so-so, I've tasted better elsewhere, the tomyam not to my liking which is it should be tangy, spicy and savoury, the rice I think they steamed it so its quite chewy, the ayam halia looks like ayam kicap. As for the nasi goreng ayam kunyit, the nasi goreng is not that good but the ayam kunyit is yummy. I didn't taste the nasi goreng cina. Overall i think i over estimate this restaurant due to good reviews by other patrons but I found the food not up...

Kinda disappointing trip. Was told to be one of the best Tom yam in kl. Tom yam taste was no where close. It was sweet and full of lemongrass. Waited for 10 mins to get seated on a Saturday for dinner. Order came quite fast even with a big crowd. Portions were small. Tom yam (merah) - bad ( like soup masam manis with serai) Kangkung belacan - worse I have eaten in my life. No belacan taste. Kangkung looked soo pale. Fish was good and spicy. Masak limau Kailan was ok Mango kerabu was really GOOD. Everyone enjoyed it. Prawn cake was a little salty but OK. Mango bingsu was good. But mus be eaten before the shaven ice melts.. Taste totally changes once fully melted.

Overall was disappointed cause we came all the way to Keramat...
