MyElephant Thai Restaurant Review


Colleagues decided to have lunch at MyElephant at Section 17 PJ. Heard lots of good reviews about this place so had high hopes.

Parking was a problem during a week day lunch, so we were dropped off to get a table first. Luckily we did because if we didn't we would have had to join the long queue. We managed to squeeze all five of us on to a small table for four. Well it was that or queue outside. Easy choice hehe..

I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but the lunch sets start from RM9.90. Lunch set comes with a main meal with a choice of hot or cold pandan water.
Pad Thai
Did not try the pad thai, but was told it tasted good.
Tom Yum
Tom Yum was spicy and sour but not overpowering.

Fried Tang Hun
Stole a bit of this from my friend. The fried tang hun was surprisingly good. I'm not a fan of tanghun but the taste was similar to the pad thai but tastier.
MyElephant Special Noodle
Did not try the special noodle but was told it was average only.
Minced chicken with basil and rice
The minced chicken with basil was mine. The chicken was coarse and chewy, the green sauce on the right was nice when mixed with the chicken. Sweet, sour, mildly spicy, very appetising.

Added a piece of fried chicken costs an additional RM6. Not bad for a whole thigh.
Fried Chicken
The tang hun would be an item I would order the next time I visit. I would stay away from the basil minced chicken though. Also, service isn't their greatest strength. Found the waiters/waitresses to be rather rude when asking for service. For a thai restaurant, I would have expected excellent hospitality.
