Phuket Trip Part 3

I have visit Thailand several times but never eaten at MK Restaurant. There is MK Restaurant located at Junceylon Shopping Mall at Patong, Phuket and I decided to check it out for dinner.

To cool ourselves from the hot weather, we have Thai Ice Tea and Pineapple Juice which were very refreshing.

We settled for the MK Steamboat. I ordered the vegetable platter, meat platter and beef. The platters had a good variety of ingredients and the beef was beautiful. Unfortunately there was no flavour for the broth. It was plain boiling water. I even noticed the tourist couple beside my table pouring soy sauce and chilli into the broth.

The steam rice came in a little pyramid shape with brown rice and barley on top of it. It gave the rice an additional texture which was nice.

If you are on a tight budget and looking for a meal below $10, you may want to check out Olive Vine. Their mains are under $10 and there are no GST, service charge and MSG in their food. For an additional $4, you can upgrade to a Deluxe Set Meal which comes with a soup, drink and dessert.

The soup of the day was creamy and of decent portion.

The drinks were unfortunately very sweet.

Fruit Punch & Ice Lemon Tea 3/5

The mains at below $10 each were definitely value for money with the huge serving.

Crispy Chicken Arrabiata 3.8/5

Pork Steak Agli Olio 3.8/5

For dessert my favourite was the Tapioca cake. It had a nice balance of sweetness and I enjoyed biting into the grated tapioca texture with each bite of the cake.

The pastry of the Coconut Pie was nicely cooked and crispy but lacked of coconut flavour.

Overall Olive Vine served value for money food. Food wise I think there are still rooms for improvement.
