My Elephant

[No Pork Served]

My Elephant has been in the little food books of most foodies for its authentic Thai cuisine. It is somewhat casual cafe dining, so space is limited especially in its Sri Hartamas and Section 17 outlets.

Cute pigeon holes made of bricks

We stopped by the Sri Hartamas outlet for a quick lunch as we heard that they have reasonable lunch sets that come with a cooling pandan drink, ranging from RM 9.90 to RM 15.90.

Chicken Maryland with Green Curry

The Chicken Maryland with Green Curry came with a fried egg atop red rice. The piece of chicken drumstick and thigh was cooked thoroughly, with a good coating of batter to create the crisp all fried chicken lovers covet. However, the green curry appeared rather unappetizing, simply because of the layer of oil that floated atop it. It came up to about 4-5 tablespoons of oil being scooped out carefully (God bless our coronary arteries).

We also ordered the Phad Thai, one of the must-haves on the menu. The rice noodles were springy and chewy and the dish was presented beautifully. While I prefer my bean sprouts crunchier, I am aware that crunchier usually means more raw and most people are not great fans of that raw green taste. The chilli was also quite strong, so word of caution to Phad Thai feasters: do not mix all the chilli into your dish!

A mouth-watering presentation with chilli, sugar and nuts on the side

We arrived at noon and it seemed empty but quickly filled up towards lunch hour. The lunch sets are definitely value for money for hot food.

We'll be back for more, perhaps the Rice with Tom Yum Soup and the Thai Laksa.

Foodgasm 2.0 Feature: Cowboys Food Truck

Subangites, hold your horses because there will be a new food truck in town!

Serving Texan goodies like wings, tacos and fries, we tip our Stetsons to the two good-looking partners (howdy!).

We really wanted to get our hands on the boys spiral potatoes but the event organizer's planning was flawed and all the stalls had no electricity, so there was no deep fryer or oven available for most of them. Next time!

Marks for hygiene. They also had a separate person collect money.

Beef taco - we blew this up because it is worth salivating over

This baby was piping hot and was chockful of flavour. Nizar, the Trail Boss was hard at work, cooking the meat while his mum skilfully heated up the tacos to ensure they were warm and fluffy. To top it off, these cowboys actually smoke their own pulled beef! The rustic woody character of the meat danced a mesmerizing tango with the sweet home-made BBQ sauce across our tongues. If there were to be any lament, it would be that the beef was slightly overcooked, hence it was rather tough and the sauce was a tad sweet. We did give our feedback to them and they acknowledged it graciously.

We are honoured to have had a taste of the Cowboys Food Truck before these belly cheaters go blazing into their Subang standoff with their mouth-watering grub! 

Kau Tim Lah!
