Restoran Vicchuda, Damansara Uptown

RESTORAN VICCHUDA
Was feeling hungry already around 5pm as I had an early lunch (Tmn Tun famous 'kai si hor fun') about 12pm...Therefore invited Nor 2 go 4 dinner at Restoran Vicchuda, Damansara Uptown which is famous 4 their Tom Yam soup....It's situated facing the LDP at Damansara Uptown comprising 2 shop houses....



TOMYAM CAMPUR

The last I was there was a few months back and that was during the month of Ramadhan ~ Muslim fasting month (which was packed then)... To9 d crowd aint that many but at least still occupies easily 1/4 of the shop...We took our seat at a outmost corner as its more breezy especially so since its drizzling....Another reason 4 that is that definitely I would be sweating non stop after taking d Tom Yam....dunno why but each time i take something hot, sour & spicy...I will sweat non stop :(

KANGKONG GORENG

We quickly ordered our meal after browsing through d menu...The delicacies that we ordered are Tom Yam Campur without d beef , Ayam Padprik , Kangkong Goreng, Kerabu Sotong & Telur Mata Kerbau ...all yummy stuffs! Didn't ordered fish as on a tight budget as the restaurant is oso famous 4 their fishes!

AYAM PADPRIK

Our order arrived shortly even b4 I really had d chance 2 take some 'shots' at d internal deco of d restaurant...when i said shortly, its less than 5 mins! WOW! how do they serve these foods so fast? From wat I believe, they must have cooked it b4 hand and just heated it up...anyways since we're so hungry we juz helped ourselves on d food but of course I took some 'shots' first...


SOTONG KERABU

The Tom Yam Campur was good ( I believe could be better if they have fresh chicken and prawn in it ) even though d soup colour is a bit clearer than their Thai counterpart...I feel that they need 2 notch up a little on their spicy portion as well as d kick is not there even though I was already sweating half way through my meal...The kangkong goreng was tasty indeed with the sauce but couldn't agree on d prawn as it's not fresh enough. Ayam padprik was so-so only as I feel d chicken is not really that fresh ...The Mata Kerbau is really not up 2 standard as u cant c d MATA at all! The only dish I had no complaints is d Sotong Kerabu where d mixture of sour + soft tender squid meat is wonderful!
Btw can u guess how much d total price 4 d meal is? It's not cheap at all! It's RM 41.20 inclusive of Teh O Ais & Air Suam for drinks and it's juz a dinner for 2! :(
Apologies 4 not getting d address down but if ur from PJ or KL u should not have any problems looking 4 this Restaurant at all....if ur from Sunway going 2 1 utama via LDP it would be on ur left hand side only....just look out for it!
HAPPY EATING!

I agree with you.The prawn not so fresh, and XS size. As last time, the size was M.
But, I still think this is among the best tomyam place in the Damansara Utama area. Clear, sour and rich in flavour, and careful it have a lot of chili padi.
Their service quite fast, of cos they won't let the customer starving espeacially us.hehe.
The Kerabu Sotong won tonite(squid with a hot and sour salad) !!!

oh...this is the address..

24, Jalan SS21/35, Damansara Utama, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
