classy thai dinner date in Mount Austin JB! 🤤🌶️
📍nom nom @ mount austin, JB
wanted to have a nice birthday dinner in JB for my friend and found out about nom nom from lemon8 🍋 my friend lovesss thai food and i'm glad we gave this place a try!
🥢classic pad thai
this dish was wonderful~ it's a little sweeter than usual but still encompassed all your usual fragrant flavours of pad thai. 10/10!!! was close to getting another plate ngl 🥹🥹
🐙fried baby sotong
highly recommend this side dish 😭 super crispy on the outside and very well seasoned, and paired with their sweet sauce...wow 😮💨
🍲 clear tom yum soup
this was so soooo spicy 🌶️ would be great for those who can really handle their spice but my friends who can take spice WELL also found it a bit too intense 🥵🥵 it was super duper aromatic though, the taste was great but would definitely recommend to ask to reduce the spice when ordering/adding water yourself to adjust the spice level 💦
If you're planning a visit to Nom Nom in Mount Austin, Johor Bahru, here are a few tips from my experience to make your dining experience even better: 1. Location and Ambience: Nom Nom is conveniently located at 27, Jalan Mutiara Emas 5/23, Taman Mount Austin. The cozy and classy setting makes it perfect for a dinner date or a special celebration like a birthday. 2. Menu Highlights: Aside from the classic Pad Thai that has a uniquely sweet twist but still packed with true Thai flavors, don't miss out on the fried baby sotong. It's incredibly crispy and pairs wonderfully with their signature sweet sauce. 3. Spice Levels: The clear tom yum soup is deliciously aromatic but packs serious heat. If you're not accustomed to very spicy food, I'd recommend asking for less chili or adding water to adjust the spice level yourself. Even those who usually handle spice well found it quite intense. 4. Personal Recommendations: The Pad Thai was so good, I nearly ordered a second plate! Also, pairing the crispy baby sotong as a side made the meal delightful. 5. Reservations and Crowd: Since it’s a popular spot discovered through Lemon8 and loved by locals, it's best to go early or make a reservation to avoid waiting during peak hours. Overall, Nom Nom in JB is a gem for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine with a classy touch. Highly recommend giving it a try if you find yourself in Mount Austin.
