Planter's Jim, Kuala Lumpur

The restaurant is a nice place without the usual cramped Bangsar atmosphere surrounding it. A wooden frame filled with intricate carvings of Thai girls, elephants and flowers at the entrance adds a rustic Asian feel to the place. The yellow-beige walls are covered with traditional Thai paintings and the subtle lighting provides a touch of class. There is almost every regional dish you could imagine on the menu and a few unknown dishes may prove to be impressive. Try the crispy duck with Thai plum sauce, Thai laksa and deep-fried sweet and sour garoupa. Fresh fruit juices are a must.
