my ELEPHANT

A budget friendly Thai restaurant with good food. However, do come early or reserve a table in advance. It is popular amongst locals & usually full house after 7pm.

My elephant used to be one of my favorite Thai restaurants but it became another disappointment. Is is located in section 17 and has lots of parking
I went back just recently for dinner with friends and the quality isn’t what it used to be. The only dishes that were still okay were the green curry chicken and the snow fish.
Although maybe they were having an off night and I should give it one more shot before confirming my judgement.

My favourite Thai cuisine place ever. My Elephant serves my favourite green curry chicken of all times. To me, it’s creamy and full of flavours and it has the perfect spices to tantalise my tastebuds.
Though me and my friends have this rule where we don’t order the fried omelette when we are out as it’s a home-​cooked dish, but at My Elephant it’s an exception. Their fried omelette with onions is perfect. I got to have it every time I’m there.
A few recommended dishes you should really try are the Thai laksa, prawns with Thai yellow curry, Tempura squid served with semi-​sweet Thai chilli sauce, kangkung stir-​fried with minced chicken and belacan or better known as dried shrimps, stir-​fried eggplant with minced chicken and pan-​fried minced chicken with Thai basil.
Nope I’m not leaving the desserts out. Go for the water chestnut and jackfruit with coconut milk, mango sago and/​or mango with glutinous rice. I’m not saying you should order all three but, if you want, why not? Share it among your friends. It’s a perfect thing to do over gossip. Don’t forget your drinks yea? I always love their freshly-​made pandan and lemongrass drink with herbs. It’s like the best cooling drink ever.

I would only come here for dinner but that too I would have to consider. This is because the restaurant is really small and it gets packed really fast, especially during the peak hours.
At the same time, finding a parking lot here is an issue because it is shared with the residence staying above the shops.
Food wise, they do serve good green curry and tom yam soup. Also, their pandan drink is really good and refreshing on a hot day. Other than that, their lunch sets are affordable and worthwhile. Their pad thai is good.
The staff are attentive but during the peak periods, it may get a bit slow but nonetheless it is good.

I’m sure anybody’s who’s a fan of Thai cuisine would have already heard of this place as apparently they serve the best Thai food at an affordable price all around town. They have branches in Aman Suria, USJ, Ampang, Sri Hartamas and of course, here in Happy Mansion, Section 17. As a huge fan of Thai food, I obviously had to try this place out so I decided to come here one afternoon with my mother (who is also in loove with this place) and my sister.
We arrived at 1pm and there was already a queue outside. We didn’t have to wait long though (10mins?) before we were seated inside. Their waiters are fast and swift so service is commendable.
Fortunately for me, they have a budget friendly menu during lunch hours that serves food from a price range of RM6.90 — RM18.90 along with a free cup of Pandan Drink. We decided to try this out and ordered the Rice + Green Curry (RM12.90), myElephant™‘s Phad Thai (RM11.90) and their myElephant™‘s Thai Laksa (RM16.90). I actually wanted their Rice + Phad Grapow Chicken and Thai Belacan Fried Rice but they were already out of stock by then so that can be a bummer. I didn’t like the Green Curry at all as it was lacking taste in every aspect and was also served cold! How could they!): However, there was a drastic difference in their Phad Thai because their Phad Thai was yuuuummy! I believe that’s their best seller here and I would understand why. I’d definitely come back for more of that and probably not get anymore of their Green Curry…
Overall, I think this place is alright though. I’ve tried other places with great Thai food and don’t really see the hype about the food here. I mean, yeah the Phad Thai was great but probably not a justifying point for all the raving reviews it’s getting. :-(Perhaps I need to make more trips back here and try out more of their other best sellers? Oh well.

The pad thai is so good. I come here a lot as I work near the area, and office colleagues are forever teasing me because I always order this here. It’s not just tasty, it’s really good value for your money as it comes with their delicious pandan drink and watermelon fruits. The portion is sizable too so you are not left wanting.
They have a cute sign in the restaurant that says, «No Wi-​Fi, talk to each other», which is what we do end up doing. Aside from work mates, I have also spent loads of time here with friends, bonding over food. Not over week day lunch though, as lines form quickly here. Bit selfish to linger after you’re done!
The place itself can sometimes feel a little cramped but they make it up with the menu. A nice spot for a bite to eat, I recommend it.

When I first came to PJ, my friends were already raving about this Thai restaurant. They were telling that if you do like Thai food, you should go to this place.
So my friends and I went for lunch and the place was packed. They are only open from 12pm to 2pm and 6pm to 10pm and they are closed on Mondays. Do remember this to avoid disappointments when you decide to dine here.
We got our seats shortly and service was pretty snappy with the staffs coming in with menu and it’s always nice to have them to service with a smile. We ordered green curry, tom yum, pineapple fried rice and pad thai to share about.
The food in my opinion isn’t the best amongst the wide selection that I can find around Klang Valley these days. Not to mention the pricing of this place isn’t the most affordable place to frequent. A dinner for 7 pax could easily come up to RM400 and above.

A popular Thai food hunt, myElephant is where you go for fuss-​free Thai food. It’s a modern looking restaurant with a straight-​forward menu.
Tom yam, green and red curries, Thai salads are all delicious without trying too hard. Loyal patrons thronged this place on weeknights and weekends. They also have an outlet in Sri Hartamas and Aman Suria now.

This place is the go to place for mostly office workers and students, probably because of the lunch offer. Given that fact, it gets really hard to secure a seat during lunch hour and a queue starts stacking really quick. I also experienced tables being booked by other people in advance, making it very frustrating looking at all those «reserved» signs.
Nevertheless, the food here is good, with their signature Pandan Water (that’s what my friends call it). The lunch offer here is a pretty good deal if you’re in need a quick and simple meal. The location is pretty accessible and a plus point for easy and free parking.

This place has been a staple lunch spot for me when I used to work around the area. I was introduced to the place by my ex colleagues and it seems as though the office crowd can’t get enough of My Elephant as it is always packed during lunch hour.
Part of the reason may be the reasonable lunch set offered with a variety of delicious choices from the Panaang curry to the minced basil chicken. Both dishes are my favourite and comes with a piece of watermelon and pickled salad together with a refreshing pandan cooler. The curry has just the right amount of kick and I like how the place uses brown rice as opposed to regular white rice. Makes you feel just a little less guilty devouring that creamy curry.
Parking is usually available for free and the place is located at Happy Mansion, a residential flat area. It may take a while to get a table so I would recommend coming early. The dinner menu is more expensive without any sets so take the opportunity to try out their lunch sets instead if you’re visiting for the first time.

My elephant is an old familiar spot for office workers and students alike. Most of us go there because of their reasonably priced lunch sets (from RM9.90) consisting of a main and a fresh pandan drink. However it is precisely because of that, that you might have to wait a long time to get seats. For a small restaurant, I was surprised that you can actually make reservations. A good thing too as dinner hours gets pretty filled up.
Despite the crowd indicating otherwise, I actually find the food borderline mediocre. Maybe My Elephant just isn’t what it used to be. On another note, I love having meals here with friends because parking is a breeze and it is free.

My Elephant is pretty well known among the PJ crowd. Nestled in the Happy Mansion flats, you wouldn’t know it was there unless you were told. As long as its been there for, I’ve never known the place to be without a long queue during their lunch hour specials. Their standards have been pretty consistent, thus keeping their regulars and I’ve many companies have even help their office dinners here.
No doubt, they’re Green Curry is worth a try and the Minced basil Chicken. They’ve actually been doing so well that they’ve recently opened up an outlet in Taipan USJ as well.

My Elephant makes up but one of the collective cafes and restaurants that have been cropping amidst the Section 17 area over the recent years. With an ambience that is welcoming and cozy with a hip, contemporary twist, the restaurant dishes out delicious Thai cuisine that engages the palate. From the a la carte menu, I would recommend the roast duck curry with its robust gravy and tender morsels of roast duck. This dish is flavorful and rich, the fact that it isn’t overwhelmingly spicy makes it a good introductory dish for those whose taste buds have not been damaged by years of chomping on chili padi. For the lunch crowd, My Elephant also offers relatively affordable lunch specials that include a main dish with an accompanying free drink. While I wouldn’t go as far as to call this place the most authentic of Thai restaurants I’ve come across, the food is nonetheless tasty enough to warrant another visit
