Lunch at authentic Thai restaurant in Penang

#penangspots Siam 9 Thai Restaurant in Butterworth, Penang—located at 104 Jalan Permatang Tengah alongside Khunthai Restaurant—offers a casual, bright café setting with clean décor, relaxed seating, and friendly service. While not overly themed, its ambiance is spacious and welcoming—bright enough for daytime meals and laid-back enough for evening dinners.  On the menu, their Pad Krapao Gai (Thai basil chicken stir-fry) stands out—served over jasmine rice with minced chicken, Thai bird’s eye chilies, garlic, and holy basil in a savory sauce—priced around RM 23.50. Lovely place to have lunch, cozy and comfortable setting. Would recommend this place
