Signature Dishes
Having a craving for pineapple rice, I chose from the rice platter menu item 65 "Pineapple Fried Rice with prawn/chicken".Instead of having prawn, I chose chicken. When the dish was served, a reasonable amount of chicken floss appeared on top of the pineapple rice. I was shocked, what happened if I picked the prawn instead, will I have prawn floss?Singapore standard, all pineapple rice will have a topping of either pork or chicken floss on top of the dish but for this case was the chicken floss a replacement for chicken meat in the rice? Too much oil was used to cook the pineapple rice and as I ate the rice I discovered oil coming out of the plate.There were minimal pineapple chunks in the rice. The pineapple cubes were missing or were they short of pineapple cubes on that day? Also priced at S$12.90.I should have gone to the food court and ordered a plate of pineapple rice at S$5.00.

I came by Absolute Thai on a lazy afternoon looking to chill-out to some delicious food, and good thing this restaurant didn't disappoint.This being my first visit, I ordered some of the more common thai food items, which also happened to be their recommended dishes:Thai Iced Milk TeaLooks like gourmet tea, tastes like one too. The tea is brewed to intense fragrance, enhanced with milk, with sugar solution served on the side. For me, this is the best way to serve up a drink - allowing diners to customize the sweetness to their liking.Tom Yam Soup (Seafood)A thai meal is not complete without tom yam soup! Served with a generous amount of seafood in a hotpot, we had to scoop all the ingredients out of the way before the soup was accessible. Spicy and sour, this is bound to wake your appetite.Green Curry (Chicken)Another essential dish in the thai menu, this is thick and rich. Its freshness and slight spiciness balances out with the coconut aroma, giving this curry a perfect finish.Thai Fish Maw SaladAn inventive twist to the Chinese way of cooking, fish maw has now made its way to be the star ingredient of this salad. This makes the crispiest and best tasting salad ever!Thai Red RubyMountain of iced goodness, this is one of the most popular dessert on thai menus. I love it best when the little red ruby pearls surprise me by revealing chunky pieces of chestnuts within, to give this dessert a crunchy texture. The coconut fragrance gives you the sweetest and freshest icy conclusion to a good meal. Even-better part: the big cherry topping on desserts never fail to make my day!

I absolutely love thai food but I'm upset that not many restaurants have vegetarian options on the menu or are able to come up with alternative cooking methods for dishes on the menu. I was pleased to find that Absolute Thai was a complete delight as they were able to cater to my "veggie needs" The Ambience: The restaurant has a simple yet delightful ambience. They do not over-package themselves as they make one feel like their right at home. This place is perfect for couples are on a date, best friends, families and even gatherings for a group of friends who want to catch up. Very cosy! and a tad cold due to the air con! However, with smoking hot food, who's complaining? Their service: They gave me no reason to disappoint. Attentive staff welcomed us into the restaurant and even let us pick our own corner seat preferences. The staff also showed me which items on the menu could be made vegetarian for me (and boy, his recommendations were good!). He then checked with me on onion/garlic preferences before going ahead with our orders. I was really impressed that the food tasted so good as from my experience, food could taste pretty blunt when alterations are made. The food took about 15mins to get to us but it was well worth the waitMy Orders :bowl:I liked this beverage which consisted of lychee and I found the star stirrer very charming! Really cute! It was not overly sweet like most beverages 8/10The white rice was fragrant and the rice grains did not stick together. However, it did not really stand out and is comparable to most eateries 8/10Yummy, Who says greens cant taste good? This assorted vegetable dish is the perfect pick-me-up. Both yummy and crunchy, I never enjoyed vegetables so much. It has a good variety of mushrooms, cauliflowers, carrots, cabbage and leafy greens for that perfect balance. It is a known fact that 5 veggies in a dish makes it nutritious! However, price was pretty steep at 8++, not sure if I would order it again though! 7/10This has got to be my fav dish! Braised tofu with basil. I have no idea how they made this dish but it's truly incredible. The tofu was fried to perfection and retained their crispiness. The basil gave the dish a nice aroma and with red bird's eye chilli's came the spiciness. The dish was not salty at all and I could not stop slurping down the gravy which was heavenly! This dish is highly recommended and well worth paying for! 10/10
