'The Kitchen' is the name of the bright and airy food court at Star Vista. Operated by Koufu, the food court has about ten stalls sellingbeverages, desserts, Chinese economic rice, vegetarian food, Japanese food, Korean food, Thai food, nasi padang, etc. The Thai food stall has several set meals priced at $6.80, $7.80 & $8.80. Drinks served in 500ml cups eg lemongrass drink, Thai iced tea, cost from $1.50 upwards. Each set meal comprises rice with a meat/fish dish, a vegetable dish and either curry or tom yum soup. I picked the $7.80 pineapple rice set meal with thai style fish, which was, based on the wall mounted, lighted signboard, suposed to be served with stir fried thai kailan & green curry. After paying for my order I stood at the counter for nearly 15mins waiting for my order to be assembled.The pineapple rice was served with several chunks of deep fried, battered dory fish with thai style chilli sauce poured over them, a small portion of hastily blanched shimeji mushroom drizzled with oyster sauce and a small bowl of green curry.(see photo). I enquired about the kailan but the stallholder explained that they had none left & proceeded to serve the next customer.Though I did not complain, I was dismayed with her for not telling me at point of order & prepayment that they had run out of thai kailan, and for not offering me an alternative choice of veg such as stir fried eggplant or thai salad. Pineapple rice and green curry were ok. I've had tastier versions at other food courts eg Food Republic at comparable prices. However the thai style fish was a disappointment - batter was too thick so cant taste the fish, while the mushroom was tasteless so I left them uneaten.Overpriced and substandard food that was not worth the wait.Should have paid a little more to dine at Porn's Restaurant which was offering $9.90+ weekday set lunch of a rice dish with a canned soft drink - better food quality, service & dining environment.

The meet is very sweet and tender.Location : Buona Vista MRT connects to The Star Vista. Convenient. Lots of parking lots. Many varieties of food.What's good in particular : No comments.What's bad in particular : No comments.ABiteOfEverything.com
