Kompassion Damansara Kim Petaling Jaya Menu - Prawn Tom Yum Koong

At the awards ceremony, we were honoured to have the opportunity to taste and enjoy some of the crowd's favourite dishes and the Chef's selection, starting with the must-have Prawn Tom Yum Koong (RM62.00). A delectable dish filled with jumbo prawns cooked in Chef's special prawn-based tom yum broth. You can have it in either red or clear soup.

Kompassion Damansara Kim Petaling Jaya Menu - Smellylicious Pork Belly

The irresistible Smellylicious Pork Belly (RM58.00) comes next. This dish has a robust flavour that is enriched with Thai Belacan and Sarawak Cincalok.

Kompassion Damansara Kim Petaling Jaya Menu - Chunky Crab Omelette

The Chunky Crab Omelette (RM108.00) came next, and it was fantastic. The eggs were deep fried till crisp on the outside and tender and firm on the inside, then filled with jumbo crab meat. I can't stop myself from having a second and third helping. The omelette is served with a chef's special seafood sauce which is complemented very well.

Kompassion Damansara Kim Petaling Jaya Menu - Chunky Omelette Tentacle

We had a second order for the Chunky Omelette Tentacle (RM88.00), which instead of crab flesh is filled with tender squid tentacle, which has a lovely bite texture.

Kompassion Damansara Kim Petaling Jaya Menu - Mok Pla Salmon (Baked)

Instead of the usual steam or deep-fried fish, we got the Mok Pla Salmon (Baked) (RM75.00). This Laotian-inspired dish uses salmon fish which is infused with various wonderful herbs. 

Kompassion Damansara Kim Petaling Jaya Menu - Hang Lay Curry Lamb Shank

If you are a fan of Lamb, you might want to order the Hang Lay Curry Lamb Shank (RM65.00). The Lamb Shank is cooked in the Northern style and served with avocado.

Kompassion Damansara Kim Petaling Jaya Menu - Stir Fry Pak Lean With Crab Meat & Egg

We had the Stir Fry Pak Lean With Crab Meat & Egg (RM40.00) for the vegetables. Pak Lean aka Melingo leaves are found in Southern Thailand and have a slight bitterness and seaweed taste.

and the showcase dish of the day was Crab Kanom Jeen (RM150.00) aka Thai Laksa. It consists of various fresh condiments and crab meat. For this dish, an advance order of 2 hours is needed.

Before we moved into the desserts, we had a palate cleanser and were served a refreshing and slightly sourish Lemon With Bunga Kantan Sorbet (RM12.00). 

Kompassion Damansara Kim Petaling Jaya Dessert Menu - Mango sticky rice

There is a distinctive Thai dessert menu that you won't find in many Thai restaurants. Warm desserts, gelato, sorbet, and speciality desserts are available at Kompassion. We decided to try the warm dessert selection, Mango sticky rice (RM22.00). The purple glutinous rice, roasted coconut chips, and egg yolk thread are served with this recipe.

The second dessert which was served to us is the Chef's Sweet and Sticky Cassava (RM28.00) - Chef's special touch with slightly charred candied cassava in warm butter coconut milk, topped with blue flower Sarawak sago and egg yolk thread.
