Tamarind Springs Restaurant @ Ampang

Friend suggest this place for a birthday dinner. Tamarind Spring is located a the top of Taman Tun Abdul Razak. Is a route up the hill where you pass by a lot of housing area from terrace house till bungalows. Its located opposite the condominiums, where you can see the Tamarind Spring sign board. 


There is a open parking space at the side, then you have to walk in through a small door and a long pathway into the restaurant. 


Many tourist came here too.


 I found this place like in the forest, totally out of the city.Is a mix of thai and chinese style restaurant.




Some crackers FOC served when we settle down. I don't eat snack before dinner but i was addicted when i try to dip the crackers into the serving cili sauce. It match so well and delicious !!


The starter Amuse Bouche is FOC on the house too. It looks like mango kerabu, but it does not taste like it. There are some pieces of prawns meat, garlic, onions, mango, carrot etc.


Tamarind Specials @ RM18.00
Lemongrass Juice @ RM18.00
Their tamarind specials change everyday. It depends whats the chef got for the ingredient on that day. Tonight, mine was with lychee and soda. 


We got a friend which is a vegetarian, so we order some pure vege dishes.
Vege w Tofu @ RM28.00
Just a simple stir fry green vege. But i love the sauce, mix well with the coconut rice.


Caramelized Chicken @ RM30.00
Looks like marinated chicken. Tender meat and gravy is my favorite again. Hahaha i can eat a lot of rice just because all the sauce and gravy here suits me !


Spring Rolls @ RM30.00
Its stuff with all kinds of vege which i can't differentate hahaha, but it taste great too.


River Lobster w Lemongrass @ RM37.00
The best dish of the night. I love the sauce, rich of lobster taste and the lobster meat is tender and juicy. One is definitely not enough.


Grilled Eggplant w Coconut @ RM26.00
This is a dish i never see or tried before. The appearance is not very attractive but the taste is really superb. I don't know why but the gravy is so fantastic and the eggplant is soft and juicy. It make me wants more !


Served with rice which have a strong coconut aroma. but it cost RM5 per pax. Besides, a bottle of plain water is RM6.


Food wise is nice and it really looks quite a normal dishes. However, honestly the food here is very expensive. Total bill for 4 of us is RM247. We are paying for the environment. Enjoy the ''out of city'' fresh air and its facing the green golf course. A good experience for relaxing.
