As an offshoot of the highly-touted and popular Baan 26, the new Thai eatery Niyom 26 has made Thai food lovers and gourmands trek to the Tropicana area of the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur for a taste of its refined Thai dishes and specialities.
Located at Tropicana Gardens Mall, this new addition to Kuala Lumpur’s exciting F&B scene has been created to complement Baan 26, the highly touted and popular Thai restaurant founded 16 years ago and located in the centre of KL’s nightlife district Changkat Bukit Bintang.
Believing that the best Thai cuisine should be authentic and classic, the founder of Niyom 26, Chai Kah Fei, says that the reason he opened Niyom 26 is to give his customers an elevated dining experience.
“What sets Niyom 26 apart from other Thai eateries is our menu and speciality dishes such as our Lobster Tom Yam Seafood Soup, Mango Salad with Crispy Cat Fish, Pandan Chicken Wrap and Glass Noodle Tiger Prawns,” Chai says.
Meaning popular and famous in Thai, Niyom 26’snew comprise its sister restaurant’s signature dishes but served with a refreshed and contemporary twist. Another signature dish, the Lime and Chili Steamed Sea Bass, has a unique zesty flavour and features fresh seabass, freshly squeezed lime juice and a balanced portion of bird chilli.
And the food is only part of the attraction at Niyom 26. The décor, with its bright accents and colourful ornaments, makes dining at Niyom 26 a feast for the eyes too. Colourful paintings, chandeliers and Thai objects add visual interest, while the brightly painted walls, accented by multi-coloured cushions covered in Thai silk, make this restaurant a must-visit destination.
The main dining area is decorated in red and has an east-meets-west theme, while the private dining area has a purple colour theme dominated by three large paintings of elephants. Elephant sculptures and neon-light installation make this area the perfect place for private parties.
Finally, the orange-themed peacock bar area casts a flattering glow on all those who settle at the bar sipping a cocktail or two. Designed by Malaysian designer Orson Liyu, the vibrant interior is a reflection of good vibes and the revolution of art. “I wanted to design a place that can be popular, hip and fun.”
