Thai In-Law, Taman Paramount

Thai In-Law is a Thai stall in Taman Paramount, operating out of O&S Restaurant. It is run by a Thai-Malaysian couple who spent years working together as airline crew before landing here, which is where the name and the flight jokes come from.

What to Order at Thai In-Law

The dry tom yam noodles are the signature: springy sen lek in a savoury-tangy seasoning, piled with minced pork, roasted peanuts, a runny egg, baby prawns and bean sprouts.

For heat, order the tom yam mama zaab — instant noodles in a herb-simmered broth with pork balls, lime, egg and chillies, across six spice levels, so calibrate honestly.

Desserts are made properly rather than bought in. The sangkaya is prepared fresh each morning with no preservatives, perfumed with pandan and heavy on Thai tea flavour, served with grilled toast or buns. The khao niao dam is warm, thick black glutinous rice under salted coconut cream and coconut ice cream.

For Thai food in Taman Paramount or dry tom yam noodles in PJ, this is a two-person operation cooking well above its stall.
