Moom Aroi Thai restaurant in Pattaya

We went to Pattaya for a short holiday in December 2013. While there, I did some Google searching on where to eat and this restaurant consistently appeared in the top 10 or best restaurants in Pattaya. Therefore, we had to go there for dinner one night.

The restaurant was located by the sea and with acquisitions of neighbor sites, it is one very long restaurant.

The ambiance of the place is not bad with live music which was not bad. However, this is at the main scetion of the restaurant. However, if you were to be at the far end, one would probably not able to enjoy the music.

For a rather large crowd. the food arrived rather quick. We ordered just the normal popular stuff and there were 11 of us. Some how I was not able to get the flashlight on my phone camera to work and with the low lights, the photos of the food did not come out as how I would have wished. Sorry about that.

Fried cabbage

Fresh oysters

Thai style condiments for the oysters

 I was rather dissapointed that the size of the oysters were small and they had also run out of the "sweet" vegetables that is a must to eat with the oysters. The whole package with the spicy sauce, fried shallots, lime, etc makes eating oyster a real experience.

Crab balls

Fish cake

Curry crabs

Kheng som fish

We did not over order but we have 2 portions of each as we had many growing young adults with us. I was not able to take photos of another 2 dishes.

The signs put up at this restaurant were very funny due to the language. We had to take some photos and you judge for yourself. Try also to figure what they are trying to tell you. It is a literal translation from Thai.

The overall bill came to about Baht 4,500 which was not cheap but not too expensive either. The food is not bad but I would not consider it as very good either. Maybe, in Pattaya which is a tourist place.

The contact address of the place is :

Moom Aroi Thai Restaurant
Soi Naklua 4, behind Banglamung police station,
Naklua, Pattaya
Tel: +66 (0)-3822-3252

Until the next time, cheers.
