Thai Accent @ Vivocity

I like the tagline - Hospitality with a Heart.

Davis recommended this Thai restaurant at Vivocity - Thai Accent. She raved about the iced tea. Bearing that in mind, while looking for a place for dinner today, we decided to try it. We thought of Kim Gary (long line as usual) and White Dog Cafe (menu is boring - pasta, mains and sandwiches) but decided to check out Thai Accent.

The place is surprisingly big inside, which explained the lack of queue. We were seated somewhere in the middle, and could still look out the glass windows and enjoy the waterfront view.

We ordered lots of food and it was only 2 of us. Lol. We must have been hungry - I only had cereal and 2 sticks of chicken the entire day. Or it could be after a few hours of shopping, so we needed sustenance.

Decided to try the pineapple fried rice with shrimps, stir-fried chicken with basil leaves, green curry chicken and kailan with salted fish, plus a plate of steamed rice. Yes, all that for 2 of us. But we didn't finish them all, too much. We also ordered the famed Thai iced tea. We found out there will be a 30 cents charge for a glass of refillable water (hot/cold), but that will be waived if you order drinks from the menu.
The green curry chicken was very spicy, generous serving of eggplants and chicken and some bits of string beans. Nice. The kailan was usual, not much pieces of salted fish at all. The portion was small for the veggies though.

The chicken basil was pretty good, but nothing can beat the one I had from the roadside stall in Bangkok. That was the ultimate.

The pineapple fried rice with prawns was a disappointment. Slightly below average. I think Thai Express does a better job.
The Thai iced tea was really good, as raved by Davis. Fresh tea, and I liked that you get to mix it yourself, with the different layers.

I will like to go back again to try other dishes. Very good service though, with waiters coming around to ask if you needed refill for the rice or water. Friendly staff.
