PETALING JAYA, Sept. 19 -- Thai cuisine is firmly entwined into our local dining scene, popping up in almost every neighbourhood, a familiar face to everyone like your local kopitiam.

Who can blame them as that balance of spice, sugar and everything nice, just pulls you back every time, whether it's a super casual joint or an elegant setting where dishes echo the same flavours but are refined to the eye.

In this sea of Thai restaurants, Zaap Thai stands out as it's the sibling venue of Thai Street Food Stall, a cult-favourite of PJ folks since 2014, located inside Mayang Oasis Food Court.

The family-run eatery by a Thai and Malaysian husband-and-wife team has adjusted some of their food to suit local tastes and wallets.
