Serendah Tomyam 河边东炎 used to operate nearby next to a river, before relocating to a shoplot. As the name suggests, the shop’s signature is its uniquely flavored Tom Yum (RM20-38, ours was RM23 for 2 pax). The taste of this tom yum is unlike any others that I’ve tried. Yet, it is still, and taste, like tom yum, just that the asam (tamarind) flavor is set to the max, and the spiciness to the minimum. You could say this is a very tangy tom yum, but not too sour + a little bit of bitter flavor from the generous use of asam.
The other signature dish is their Thai Style Fish (price based on weight, ours was RM33). The tilapia fish is deep fried to crispy and top with their special black sauce. It was yet another flavor I’ve never tasted before. The sauce has a very strong onion flavor with something similar to kicap manis (sweet soy sauce), and it gets spicier the more I eat it.
Next, they also recommended the Garlic Fried Chicken (RM20/25/28) and the garlic flavor is pretty good. Lots of crispy fragrant garlic. The chili sauce is the common generic factory chili sauce.
For dessert, I ordered the 6-Flavored Dessert 六味糖水 (RM5), a combination of cincau, sweet potato, longan, cendol and jelly. Pretty good and not too sweet.
