Behind the electrifying flavours and buzzing dining strip at Sunway Velocity, Taan Thai is operating on a deeply impactful philosophy. Just like its beloved sister brand, Ǎn Viet (which means "Eat Viet"), Taan Thai’s name is a direct invitation to "eat" and completely eliminate food waste. In a modern world where food is often rushed, ultra-processed, or designed solely to look "picture perfect" on social media feeds, Taan Thai is choosing a completely different, authentic path. They call it their Foodlosophy—a strict promise to serve everyday culinary indulgences that are simply too good to waste. 🌏💚 🌿 The True Soul of Thai Cooking: From Scratch, No Shortcuts Walking into a restaurant and tasting authentic street-style heat is one thing, but Taan Thai achieves its spectacular flavor profiles by honoring time, craft, and patience: 🧄 Homemade Pastes: You won't find pre-packaged, artificial curry blocks here. Every single paste is made completely from scratch right in their kitchen, using entirely fresh local herbs and raw spices. 🦴 Slow-Simmered Broths: The base of their electrifying Tomyam isn't a quick powder mix—it's a labor of love, slowly simmered over hours to draw out the deep, complex aromatic layers of lemongrass and lime leaf. 🏡 Wholesome & Nourishing: The final goal is to serve a comforting, honest meal that carries the exact warmth, nutrition, and soul of a traditional, home-cooked Thai family dinner. Every single plate that arrives at your table is an expression of pure craft, unyielding patience, and genuine heart. When food is prepared with this much respect for the ingredients, finishing every last bite becomes effortless! 🍽️✨ ✨ The next time you sit down at Taan Thai, you aren't just treating yourself to a premium meal—you're supporting a mindful movement that respects agricultural heritage and mindful consumption. Let's do our part, enjoy every single drop of that signature broth, and "Taan Thai" the right way! 🇹🇭🥂

Deep Fried Seabass in Spicy Sour Curry
Main
Perhaps the most dramatic offering is the Deep Fried Seabass in Spicy Sour Curry. A whole seabass, fried to a delicate crisp, rests in a vibrant pool of tangy curry sauce. The contrast between brittle, golden skin and the bold, punchy gravy creates a dish that is as texturally exciting as it is flavourful.
Thai Betel Leaf Wrap (Miang Kham)
Appetizer
For a more playful opener, the Thai Betel Leaf Wrap (Miang Kham) invites diners to get hands-on. Wrapping wild pepper leaves around roasted coconut, lime, ginger, shallots, and peanuts creates an edible mosaic of textures and flavours—sweet, nutty, piquant, and aromatic all at once. It’s a dish that captures the communal, interactive spirit of Thai dining.
Isan Salad with Grilled Pork Neck
Appetizer
The standout among the starters, however, is the Isan Salad with Grilled Pork Neck. A specialty of northeastern Thailand, it comes with beautifully charred, smoky pork neck. Each forkful is a study in contrast—bright acidity meeting rich, savoury depth—showcasing the bold character of Isan cuisine.

The Red Ruby Bingsu
Dessert
The Red Ruby Bingsu offers a delightful twist on a Thai classic—finely shaved ice topped with jewel-like water chestnut “rubies” and a gentle sweetness that soothes the palate. Light, refreshing, and subtly indulgent, it provides the perfect finale.
Signature Green Curry Chicken
Main
For comfort with a kick, the Signature Green Curry Chicken arrives velvety and fragrant. Rich with coconut cream and gently lifted by green chilli heat, it delivers warmth without overwhelming the palate. Paired with jasmine rice, it’s easy to see why this dish remains a timeless favourite.
Spicy Tomyam Soup
Main
Every great Thai meal begins with a spark, and the Spicy Tomyam Soup here is nothing short of electrifying. The broth arrives scarlet and steaming, striking that elusive balance of searing heat, tangy lime, and fragrant lemongrass. It is, quite simply, a classic done right—sharp, warming, and deeply satisfying from the very first spoonful.
Golden Crispy Prawn Donut
Appetizer
The Golden Crispy Prawn Donut is every bit the crowd-pleaser it promises to be: a golden, craggy exterior giving way to a juicy, springy prawn filling. It’s a satisfying interplay of crunch and succulence.
