Olive fried rice - usually fried rice are fried with eggs but for the olive fried rice, the egg is separated. The rice is alittle too soft for my liking ( although as my mum does better olive fried rice).

Never think that thai food can be sexy. I love the decoration of this spanky cute restaurant by Pornsak. Service was quick, the first dish that came was Tom Yum Fish Soup hot pot.

Never think that thai food can be sexy. I love the decoration of this spanky cute restaurant by Pornsak.
Service was quick, the first dish that came was Tom Yum Fish Soup hot pot.

We had requested for less spicy clear soup but it was still pretty spicy for me. If you cant take too much spice, please beware.

The fish was fresh, soft and tender. The mushroom in the soup was crunchy and tasty.

Then we were served pineapple fried rice. It was served with us hot. You can see the steam coming off the rice and when we broke the round, the fragrance just flew into your nose. Lovely!

The pineapple fried rice had raisins in them, served with pork floss and cashew nut. It was really very well done. I say it's a must try!

For drinks, we ordered a warm cup of their signature lemongrass tea. it was very refreshing and i feel healthy drinking it.

overall, this place is a big thumb up for its cute elephant logo, decor and most importantly, the good quality of sexy thai food served.

The water is served in an antique look metal cup (looks abit dirty though) and the napkin has actually the logo on it! So cute!
Me and my boyfriend ordered a tom yam gung and a mango sticky rice as an early dinner. We hav tom yum gung with rice, but the portion is too small, and there is nothing much in the soup to be honest. However, the spicy and the sourness will definitely give you a surprise, and it makes you addicted to the taste!
The mango sticky rice is yummy, definitely recommended!

Durian sticky rice and mango sticky rice. Mango was really sweet and the sticky rice created a balance when eaten together. Durian was rich and fragrant and I'd prefer the durian sticky rice hands down over the mango one even though it was good.

I'd return for the dessert or the coconut soup.

Their deep-fried tofu with thai sauce was awesome as well, at $6.50 although i find it quite expensive considering it is just tofu but it is crispy on the outside and really soft on the inside. The peanut pieces add crunchiness to the whole soft taste and their sauce was heavenly too.

I enjoyed dining at PORN's and even though we were quite troublesome due to our birthday celebration down there, their service crews remain friendly. KUDOS!

The Green Curry was not bad, with the right level of spiciness. However the portion of the baby eggplants and chicken chunks were barely enough to share among the 7 of us and I really hope that more basil leaves have been added in to give the nice flavour. Personally I would want to taste more of the green lemon too.

This plate of mango sticky rice cost $8.90! and it is not even arranged in the thai traditional way of which the mangos are placed on top and around the sticky rice before the coconut milk is added. Evidently, the amount of mangos given were too few to have that kind of presentation.

We ordered the seafood coconut milk soup( $12.90) and it was not to most of our liking at all. Many of my friends complained that it was too sour ( we scooped up a lot of lemongrass) and the addition of the coconut milk was a weird combination. Actually I had drank that in Cambodia before and I remembered that it was tasty and refreshing. The number of shrimps and fish and squid scooped up were so few that we could count within our ten fingers.

As it was a weekday afternoon, the number of customers were not a lot and the food was served quickly. For the 7 of us, we had to fork out $14 each and it was not very satisfying since the portion was too little. I will most probably head to Purvis Street (First Thai) or Golden Mile complex next time when I have any cravings for 'real' Thai food.

Perhaps the only disappointment w a ras the orange curry; I had expected a rich coconut milk-based curry gravy but was served a non-spicy broth resembling tom yum with chunks of white fish and assorted vegetables like cauliflower, cabbage and long beans. I'll definitely revisit Porn's at Star Vista whenever I crave affordable Thai food but will skip the orange curry and revert to my usual favourite green curry.

I have to emphasis it here because you wouldn't want to make your stomach suffer the aftermath just because your mouth can't stop savouring the really spicy and sour TYG! However, it is disappointing to see that we were only give EIGHT TINY pieces of prawns (all peeled). We thought we would get fresher prawns (I hope they improve on this if not, $12.90 is actually quite expensive for a pot of soup with few pieces of main ingredients)/ Minced pork cooked with basil leaves was priced at $8.90 without rice. Totally disappointing dish. You can get similar or even better taste at the Thai stall at Far East Plaza basement for a price of $5 which comes with rice and egg. Phad Thai was tasty (opps, without photo).

Aesthetically, the restaurant is very nicely decorated and I love the design and layout of it. Picture tells a thousand words. Here are some photos that will show why I think it's nice.

Don't you think the interior of the restaurant is nice and unique. The great visuals and colors will certainly brighten up any diners day. I am simply impressed and awed by the ingenuity and creativity of the interior designs.

The first dish of the day is Stir Fried Minced Pork with Basil Leaves, that cost me $8.50.

Stir Fried Minced Pork with Basil Leaves presentation was nice, with a slice of cucumber and a slice of tomato with a few slices of carrot to serve as its decoration. I highly recommend this dish for the great fusion of the minced pork, chili and basil leaves, which made this dish greatly aromatic and not forgetting that it tasted awesome when you placed the first spoon into your mouth. Simply heavenly. So far, this is the only time I don't get sick and tired of eating Stir Fried Minced Pork with Basil Leaves, compared to those from other restaurants where the first mouth tasted nice but I would get sick and tired after a few mouthful of it. Also, the food portion was just nice for the both of us. Out of a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 as mediocre and 10 as very yummy, I would rate this dish on a rating of 9. I would definitely order this dish again on my next visit.

Our next dish is the Prawn Tom Yum soup that cost $12.90.

The Tom Yum soup was clear and filled with lots of spices and prawn. It is indeed sour and very spicy and I think this will appeal more to spicy food lovers. For those non-chili people, I would suggest you to avoid eating this dish as it's simply too spicy. But I simply love the taste of the prawn tom yum soup, where the sourness and spiciness of this dish are just right and the prawns are succulent, though there weren't many prawns as we had expected. Also, the food serving portion was quite huge as it can be sufficient for even 3 to 4 people although the serving size was stated for 2 person. I would rate this dish on a rating of 7. Although the soup tasted great and the portion is a lot, but on a side-note, both of our stomach couldn't take the spiciness of this dish, which caused us to visit the toilet 2 hours later. I would think this dish would be better if they reduce the amount of spiciness or perhaps it's because both of our stomachs are not yet conditioned to take this amount of spiciness. Would I order this dish again on our next visit? Maybe, maybe not? I certainly do not wish to upset my stomach again due to the spiciness of the soup.

Our next dish was the Seafood Pad Thai, which costed us $10.90.

I think that our Seafood Pad Thai dish serving size was slightly small and for a price of $10.90, we certainly expected it to be of a bigger portion. Nevertheless, our disappointment in the serving size were quickly appeased when we tasted this dish. It was very nice and the noodles were silky smooth and sweet. Although the color of this dish looked plain and it only had a couple of prawn and egg, but I think it's worthwhile to order this dish again on our next visit. I would rate this dish on a rating of 8. A highly recommended must try dish for any diners who eat at PORN's at Star Vista mall.

However I think that this outlet was understaffed. As most of the service staff are too engrossed in serving the dishes to the various tables that they not only forgot my initial order for ice water, but it also took me very long before I can get one of their attention to bring me the ice water, which took a while before it arrived at our table, in 2 small cute silver looking cups, which is cold to the touch. Yes the cups looked nice but on a practicality note, I would rather prefer the service staff to give me a normal glass of ice water instead of a small cup which requires constant refills, especially when the Prawn Tom Yum soup was so spicy.

Here's a copy of our receipt, which added up to the total cost of $36.65, inclusive of 10% service charge. Reasonable price for a meal for 2 persons, but I think the portion was slightly small as we still feel a little hungry after our meal.

Interior design decorations ratings = 7 out of 10

Service staff ratings = 5 out of 10 (due to the experience we faced in obtaining ice water)

Food = 8 out of 10

Overall Satisfaction = 8 out of 10

I would visit this restaurant again and if my friends wants me to recommend any nice Thai food, PORN'S restaurant would certainly be in my list of recommendations. But do take note to make reservations in advance if you are going in a big group as it will be packed. Do try out their Stir Fried Minced Pork with Basil Leaves and Seafood Pad Thai. I won't recommend you to try their Tom Yum soup as it was simply too spicy for both our stomachs to take. But should you wish to try out this fiery dish, be warned. Don't attempt to drink too much of the soup. Take in moderation!
