Go Thai


October 2, 2008 (Fri): It’s Friday evening. Picking up some organic veggie is has become a routine. I stopped by Vivo City, and decided to go for dinner first.

Stopping by Thai Accent was just a coincidence. I haven’t had Thai food since my last meal with a Thai friend at Baan Thai in Hanoi. This restaurant is popular-judging by the line outside. It was early evening, about 7 pm. We were ushered to sit at the corner of the raised level. It was a good table but the air-con was blowing too strongly. We asked to be seated at a corner where we could see the line outside-not so comfortable but we will not freeze.

The waiter and waitress who served us were very pleasant, attentive and efficient. We ordered a Thai green curry, stir-fried kang kong with fermented beans, a glass-noodle soup and a Tiger beer, which was served in well chilled glasses. The curry wasn’t spicy- and that’s good for us.

The veg was very good and rice was refillable. I don’t like egg tofu normally but the soup (without the tofu) was delicious.

With Amex card discount of 15%, the bill was SGD 45. Wow-good deal in this part of the city and excellent (!) for such service, ambience and food quality. I enjoyed the view overlooking the Sentosa casino, currently under construction.

A recommendable place for casual dining.
