Thai Vine Restaurant (2nd Attempt)

M had been quite eager to try Thai Vine as he read numerous raving reviews about it. After reading about their weekend lunch promotion last week, we decided to lunch there on Sunday.

The restaurant was not crowded when we went there, probably because most people preferred to dine at night where the ambience was nicer. We took a table at the small room right at the back. The interior decor was very nice. I decided to take the lunch special of Thai chicken noodle while M had his usual Thai Green Curry with rice. The waitress recommended us the "drink of the day", which was Beal Fruit Tea. I haven't heard of this tea before but a quick check on the Internet showed that this tea is quite famous in Thailand. So I am the ignorant one.. :p

My chicken noodle was average.. as I couldn't really tell the difference between this and the local Vietnamese chicken noodle. M's curry was nice though it was not spicy at all! We should have requested for additional servings of chilli.. as being typical Singaporeans, we enjoy the "shiok" chilli factor. The Beal tea was quite nice though.. just a little bit too sweet.

We decided to have some desserts to complete our meal and opted for the Red Ruby. They were yummy! The crunchy water chestnuts were coated with chewy glutinous flour before being cooked in a sweet coconut soup and topped with thin slices of jackfruit. I enjoyed it very much.

The total meal came up to less than SGD 20 due to the lunch promotion. Considering the ambience was great, service was good and proximity of the place, I would say it was a decent meal.
