Tamarind Springs Restaurant, Ampang

I went to a very nice place for dinner with Jyun sometime this week.

It was a pleasant surprise cause when I stepped into the entrance door of the place,

My first word was, "Wow"

Why wow?

You'll see why through the pictures below..

 So we went to a traditional Indochinese restaurant,

The place was really amazing.

The staffs were very friendly (service was good), food was great too (although we only tried a few dishes since our stomach cannot contain much but it was more than enough for us), and the air smells different.

The place is located at Ampang..

So it was quite a drive there but it's worth it.

That night, it was pouring for the entire day.

And Jyun wanted it to stop raining for some reason..

Anyway, we were away from the city for a bit..

The restaurant smells nice, the atmosphere was very calming, the background music was really soothing, the view was breathtaking, the sound of water splashing and crickets makes the night so very romantic:)

 The first thing that we saw was a statue of a smiling buddha when we stepped into the restaurant

Yes, it was a candle light dinner..

And the place wasn't crowded so it's nice..

It almost feels like Jyun booked the whole restaurant just for us..:)

But of course, later in the evening people the place was slowly filled with people..

And since it was a weekday and it was raining the place wouldn't be crowded

 Our snacks..

I like the mango salad thingy as a welcome appetizer..

It was soury and sweet (my two favourite combination)

Our appetizers

It was the first in the menu,

It consisted of fish, shrimps, something something (I cannot remember)

But it was delish!

 We had the chicken cashew nut lemongrass dish

 Curry with wild banana..

Didn't know how will curry taste like with wild banana so we ordered that:)

It was rich with coconut, not really spicy, and the portion was more than enough for both of us..

Thank goodness we didn't get more dishes from the menu..

Although initially we were tempted to and knowing our small stomach, 

We decided not to go overboard in case we couldn't finish the food..

So we had these with rice..

The main thing about the place is the scenery and the atmosphere.

It has the fragrant smell which reminds you of a very holy place..

You are very close to nature since the restaurant is inside a small jungle..

Plus you would have to walk through a walkway which is surrounded by trees to get to the restaurant

I shall let the photographs below do the talking..

Thanks for the very wonderful evening, Jyun.

He told me that it was a dream of his which lead him to this place.

It feels as if we were in an entire different place,

Away from here but still here somehow..
