Bangkok Tomyam, on Jalan Mahkamah in Bayan Lepas, Penang (17 January 2014)
Bangkok Tomyam (GPS: 5.29769, 100.26379) is a Malay-operated Thai restaurant in Bayan Lepas, Penang. It occupies a spacious, open-air pavillion along Jalan Mahkamah, a short distance from the Penang International Airpor.
Bangkok Tomyam offers a wide range of popular Thai dishes. My wife has been here earlier than me, so yesterday, unable to decide what we want to have for lunch, we decided to come here. As there were just the two of us, we were limited over how much we could order. So each of us ordered different types of fried rice - my wife the belacan fried rice while I chose the chicken paprik rice. In addition, we also ordered a small bowl of tomyam and stir-fried kangkung.

On the whole, the food is quite tasty. However, the taste is on the strong side, meaning strongly salty and spicy. And sweet too. The same goes for the drinks. I enjoyed my iced coffee, though I admit it is also sinfully sweet.
If you come as a group, Bangkok Tomyam has a selection of set meals, sparing you the trouble of ordering à la carte.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
