Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I have had in recent memory. The biggest issue was the plain steamed rice. The texture was dry and broken, with very little aroma or natural sweetness. It simply did not feel like a product that should be served in a restaurant. The Tom Yum soup was equally disappointing. It lacked the distinctive fragrance of lemongrass, lime, and herbs that define the dish, tasting more like diluted instant soup than a freshly prepared Tom Yum. The vegetables and small shrimp added little to the overall experience. The Thai basil chicken was overly sweet and bore little resemblance to the version I know and enjoy. The chicken omelette was surprisingly bland, almost as if it had been served without seasoning. The fried wontons appeared to have been fried while still stuck together, leaving several pieces clumped into one. Unfortunately, the service reflected the same lack of attention. Staff spent much of their time sitting down and looking at their phones, which left a poor impression. Overall, both the food and the service fell well below expectations. Sadly, this is not a restaurant I would return to. Looking back, I genuinely wish I had chosen another restaurant.
Looking for a meal that is tasty and filling you up & won’t break the bank? We recently swung by Cahaya Restaurant to try their Weekday Promotion Set, and it is such a steal at only $39.90. This spot has been a halal-certified favorite for over 35 years, serving up a great mix of local and Thai flavors. The Weekday Promotion Set comes with: • Thai Lemon Steam Fish • Salted Egg Chicken • Chap Chai (Stir-fried mixed vegetables) • Fried Wantans and Ngoh Hiang Mixed Platter • 4 servings of Plain Rice (Free!) We love the Fried Wantans and Ngoh Hiang Mixed Platter so crispy with tasty sweet dark soy & sweet Thai chilli dipping sauce. The Thai Lemon Steam Fish was the highlight for us — super fresh & zesty! We also try their popular Thai Basil Chicken Rice & finished off with Mango Sticky Rice which we recommend if you have space for dessert. The set is available Monday to Friday, from 1:30pm to 9:00pm, for both dine-in and takeaway. While promotion period last. Whether you are looking for a fast hearty lunch or a cozy dinner, Cahaya is definitely worth a visit for full meal. Service was fast & friendly
