29 August 2011: I bought 2 "[50% Off] RM25 for RM50 worth of Authentic Thai Cuisine from Kinnaree Thai Restaurant" vouchers from Groupon. Kinnaree Thai Restaurant offers wide variety of Thai gourmet in a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. It is shortlisted one of the best Thai restaurant in Kuala Lumpur for 2010.


Here are what we ordered...

• Pandan Chicken (RM12++) -> Marinated chicken wrapped in pandan leaves served with ginger and sesame sauce. RM4 per piece with minimum order of 3 pieces per table. Not well-marinated enough. I can easily find something similar in other Thai restaurant at cheaper price. Nothing impressive. I still prefer pandan chicken in Amarin Heavenly Thai and Imperial Rama.
• Pineapple Fried Rice (RM16++) -> Rice not well-fried enough, still very soft and sticky. Taste average. Definitely not the best pineapple fried rice I've ever had. Not worth the price.
• Green Curry Chicken (RM24++) -> Grilled chicken topped with green curry in coconut milk. Really huge portion, too much for 2 person. Big pieces of chicken breast meat. A very filling dish but not satisfying. I don't really like the taste. Too much of coconut milk and covered the taste of green curry. What a great disappointment. We couldn't even finish half of this. The green curry chicken in Amarin Heavenly Thai is still my favourite.
  
• Steamed Fish with Lime (RM42++) -> Steamed boneless seabass with spicy lime sauce. I love the boneless part of it. Other than that, this is another disappointment. The fish itself is not fresh. Besides, it's served without any heating tools at the bottom, causing it to cool very fast especially in air-conditioned environment. This is a basic practice in any restaurant that serves fish.
• Mixed Vegetables with Oyster Sauce (RM14++) -> This definitely the best dish of the meal. I know this sounds sarcastic but it's the fact...
• Seafood Tom Yam (RM14++) -> Taste average. Not hot and spicy enough. I still prefer tom yam soup in Imperial Rama.

In conclusion, I don't think I'll return to Kinnaree Thai Restaurant again. It's not worth it even with discount vouchers.
