Bali Thai (imm)

I used to frequent Bali Thai as I throughly enjoyed their service and food. Went back yesterday after a long time and I was shocked at the food quality as well as dismal service. Pineapple rice no longer served in a pineapple despite the photo in the menu. Prawns in the rice also sliced into half to mimic having more prawns. Wrong mushrooms used in the tom yum soup. Prawns were also not properly deveined. Disgusting. Green curry was good, but they could have been more generous with the chicken. Upset that tauhu telor was sold out at 7.30pm - peak dinner time, disappointing. Service staff (especially this lady named Lily) seemed like they hated their job. Good luck trying to get their attention when you raise your hand, they will straight up walk past you and ignore you. Lily finally came to take our order and she had a flippant attitude and did not take down half the dishes I said. Absolutely terrible experience for the price I’m paying. Please head down to golden mile for authentic thai food that’s a lot more affordable with decent service.

One of the severals chain of halal outlets. It has been around for some number of years. I dined in the one at Causeway Point before and enjoyed some of the dishes. I had lunch with my mum at IMM yesterday. The ambience was good and the staff were super nice. Our food came quite fast and at once although I prefer for them to wait for us to finish the appetiser first. I mean, if you have a list of appetiser in your menu then the waiter ought to know when to serve the mains right? Okay the dishes. The tahu telur was served hot and the hot spicy nutty kicap sauce was generous and we loved it! The julienne carrots and cucumbers gave some freshness to the dish. Great dish! Another great dish is the prawn tom yum. The prawns were cooked well and there were 5 pretty big prawns. It was spicy and good amount of heat as it should be. The stir fried long bean with chilli, dried shrimp and salted egg yolk can be amazing if the yolk was not cut into chunks. I think it will nice if it was grounded and mixed with the chilli shrimp paste to elevate the flavour. Loved the grilled chicken but I wished there could be more of the sweet and spicy sauce glaze on the bird. The sambal belacan…omg! It was pungent, spicy, good heat and tasty! Overall a good experience and lovely dishes.

AS A VEGETARIAN: Definitely one of the best places in singapore to go for some good Thai food. The service as usual is really great and th emenu is very well balanced and has a lot of vegetarian options. The staff really know their stuff and recommendations. The quality of the food is really good and the price really does match that quality. The ambience isnt something u would really die for but still is well maintained and has some of those thai features. All in all, for sure a place you could visit more than just once.

Vegetarian food availability: 5 stars As a vegetarian, I must say this place is wonderful. There is separate menu for vegetarians and the service is top notch. On top of that, it is affordable as well. I definitely recommend the spring rolls with tangy sweet and sour sauce as well as the iced tea cooler. Their soup is on the spicier side while their pineapple rice is quite sweet. Their staff are amiable and friendly. I asked them to charge my phone and they did it jubilantly without any complaints. They were grateful and efficient. Their serving of food was quick and the food was hot. Overall, I would visit this place again. Amazing staff and great vegetarian options.
