Barn Thai_1

Plush stylishness permeates every corner of this contemporary Thai restaurant that launched this past month at PJ’s Plaza 33, a buzz-worthy 21st-century reincarnation of the venerable Barn Thai that previously was a pioneering name at the 1 Utama mall.

Thai Tapas

Barn Thai currently opens only in the evenings, dishing out Thai tapas that the after-work crowd will be chuffed to share, from basil chicken wraps (RM12 before taxes) …

.. and cups of sweet-and-sour crunchy vermicelli (RM12), all served pretty promptly by Barn Thai’s friendly team.Barn Thai_4

Heartier Fare

Heartier fare range from khao soi (RM19), Chiang Mai’s crispy noodles in a creamy curry with chicken and soft noodles at the base of the bowl for further textural contrast … Barn Thai_5

… and the needs-no-introduction ‘pad thai’ (RM19), a nicely executed rendition here.Barn Thai_6

Come for the Cocktails too!

Barn Thai is set to surprise with ‘molecular cuisine’ cocktails that comprise components like popcorn and peanuts. For a start, this “Hot and Cold” (RM48), served in a smoke-clouded container, is a super-tasty concoction with vodka, absinthe, grapefruit, lemon juice and rosemary.Barn Thai_7

Vodka shooters in tubes stuffed with real watermelon, with the fruit soaking up the liquor.Barn Thai_8

Beer Mojito with Heineken is available, as is wine by both the bottle and the glass. Barn Thai_9

Even Barn Thai’s restrooms are worth visiting; they’re beautifully lush, not a typical description for a restaurant’s loo. Barn Thai_10
