CHRISTMAS DINNER!

Well, i am certainly not going to start to delve into Crystal's territory of fantastic recipes! But, being Christmas, i did feel compelled to show Singapore how a traditional Christmas dinner should look. Of course, with no meat. Having lived most of my life in England, and then a small portion in Australia, this meal is something i have fond memories of, stemming back as far as i can remember! With help from my girlfriend, we were able to recreate this in Singapore!

First is the arduous task of cleaning, cutting etc. Potatoes are a staple part of all Western diets, and especially so over Christmas time. For a traditional Christmas dinner two kinds of potatoes are cooked. Firstly typical mashed potatoes, and secondly roasted potatoes. Western people can take a lot of potatoes, as for my girlfriend and her family, they're stuffed after a few bites! haha.





The only mock meat we used in this meal was Mock Sausages. These are very juicy and delicious, bought from a store in Serangoon (which i intend to review in the future). We included these sausages into the stuffing mixture and nut roast (which are shown below!).








So with lack of meat (traditionally a turkey). We opted to cook a nut roast. The ingredients we used were almonds, walnuts, shredded carrots, half a large red onion (diced or shredded), half a pack of tofu, a sprinkling of dry oats, and sliced mock sausage meat...







This is all the ingredients in the bowl. We also included barbecue sauce. Anyone who wants the exact recipe of this, i would be happy to give it, just let me know in the comments!










These tasty little balls are Turkey Stuffing. Stuffing is typically what is...stuffed into the turkey, before it is cooked in the oven. Obviously with no turkey, we decided to just cook them individually. It consists of sage, onion, breadcrumbs, and in this case also apple. We also added some of the remainder sausages into the mix! They're very delicious and and have distinctive herbal taste.





This is how the Nut Roast looks when it's out of the oven. When making this is the past we also additionally add TVP (textured vegetable protein), which is basically like mock mince meat. I find it's much better with some TVP inside, as it absorbs some of the excess moisture.








Here are the Turkey Stuffing balls fresh out of the oven. The balls can be a little crunchy, but it does have a chewy element to it also.











These are the finished Roast Potatoes. They were seasoned with thyme, black pepper, organic mushroom stock powder and parsley. These were very delicious, however, typically the 'skin' of the potatoes is more crispy.









A picture of the completed meal! The overall verdict by the family was quite positive i thought. It was very foreign to them, and i'm sure the food was a little too 'heavy'.










Here's the finished article! Two things i didn't talk about. Firstly, the brown liquid is, of course, Gravy (absolutely essential in taking away the dryness of the meal). And lastly, on the left hand side behind the mashed potatoes is the Yorkshire Pudding, this is my Mum's favourite! It's a light and fluffy (and largely tasteless) eggy pudding. It's savory.


There are some things that should be included in this, that i didn't. Firstly, all Christmas dinner should have brussel sprouts. But seen as how brussel sprouts are seemingly more expensive than gold in Singapore, i didn't include them.

Like i said, anyone wanting to know exactly how to cook any of the things that are in this post, just contact me and i'll be glad to give you the exact recipe! Hope everyone enjoyed this post. I'm not a recipe blogger (prices of ingredients are way too high in Singapore for me to be one)! This is a one time only post! My girlfriend's family enjoyed the meal, i think! It's a very rich and heavy meal, that will fill you very fast.

Annalakshmi Restaurant - Chinatown

Located on the ground level of Chinatown Point, this fancy looking Indian restaurant cators both North and South Indian delights, with the unique 'pay as you want' gimmick. Now, you can either go on Friday, Saturday and Sunday to have the Indian buffet, which i went to many months ago, it's alright, but the food isn't spectacular. Or, if you go any other day, you can order from the menu, which has quite a wide range of choice. Either way, it is always 'pay as you want' or as i like to call it 'pay with your conscience'!

*UPDATE 02/07/2011 - Annalakshmi has now moved to Central Square, Clarke Quay*

Annalakshmi Restaurant
Location: 133 New Bridge Road, #B1-02 Chinatown Point
Contact: 63399993
Opening Hours: Daily 11:30am-3pm then 6pm-9:30pm

The only dish we order that the portion size was not designed for a mouse on a diet. This is the Bhaji. Bhaji is a fried Indian snack, which typically contains onions inside. However, these bhaji's had a capsicum, chili, potato, onion and eggplant all inside. I actually really enjoyed these, and it was a nice start to our meal. Bhaji's differ hugely depending on where you go, i know the bhaji's that i tried when back in England are virtually incomparable to these. Overall a satisfying snack!

Price: N/A. 7/10

This is the first time i've reviewed one of my favourite Indian drinks - The lassi! This is the Mango Lassi, and it is not traditionally how a lassi should look or taste. This is a very thick drink, almost like a mango milkshake. The traditional lassi is frothy, it's made of yoghurt and mixed with Indian spices, particularly cumin. The traditional lassi comes in either sweet or salty variants. So like i said, lassi should traditionally have a fluffy and light texture. Even though this is hardly authentic, it does still taste pretty good!

Price: N/A. 6/10







We actually ordered this Masala Dosai mid-way through our meal when we realised that this would not be enough food to fill us (read below). Not a bad dosai, it was not very crispy though, which was a little disappointing. But they were quite generous with the masala filling, unlike the pathetic dollop that some Indian eateries put inside it. Would have preferred it to be more crispy, but overall not bad.

Price: N/A. 6/10



This Paneer Butter Masala was the first of two curries that we ordered, and oh boy, these portion sizes are SMALL, and just look sad. It's a cunning trick by a 'pay as you want' eatery to make portion sizes small, why? Because it tricks you into thinking you are ordering a lot of food, and therefore would be guilted into paying more when leaving. But the reality is, this serving is about 1/3 the size what you would get in a normal Indian eatery. Remember that! The curry was excellently flavoured, but the paneer (what little paneer there actually was) i found a little flat, and lacking a real cheesy taste. Good tasting dish, but you would have to order three or four of them to get a decent sized portion!

Price: N/A. 6/10

To go along with our curries we ordered two Butter Naan's. These naan's were plagued by the same problem, they were flat as a pancake! Although naan is consistently flat bread, it should have a bubbling, fluffy, and light disposition to it, this one doesn't. Charring the naan seems almost a foreign concept to the chef, these naan's have no char marks at all, with really takes away from the flavour. Probably our of the most dismal naan's that i've tried in Singapore.

Price: N/A. 3/10


The second curry which we chose was the Malai Kofta. This is typically a very very mild and almost sweet curry (i'm sure Chinese Singaporean's would prefer this). A kofta is a fried doughy ball, typically with potatoes, tofu and spices lumped inside (we love them!). The problem with this dish, apart from size, is the taste of the curry, it tasted more like diluted cream cheese to me, which is just not how it should be. Also, they gave one pathetic looking kofta for this dish.

Price: N/A. 3/10

This is their Annalakshmi Special Rice. Nothing overtly special, to be frank. The portion size was a little better, compared to the curries. The rice included raisins (which gives it a sweet element) as well as assorted vegetables. The rice is very oily, and just tastes like a typical fried rice really, like i said, nothing special.

Price: N/A. 6/10




Conclusion - Let's just get straight to it, this eatery sells mostly poor quality Indian food. The 'pay as you want' concept must generate fantastic business for them. And i'm sure 90% of the time, you pay more than what you're actually getting. If we ordered all those dishes in another Indian eatery, we'd probably pay around $25 dollars, but you must take into consideration these dishes are a fraction of the size of what you would get in any other eatery. It's important to remember that when you go to the counter, otherwise you'll end up paying $30 dollars for probably only $15 dollars worth of food.
Decor is really great, and it's location is convenient, but the food leaves a lot to be desired.

Simple Foods Vegetarian - Tampines

Hardcore fans of The Hungry Ang Mo will know that this is not my first Simple Foods post. I have reviewed their pasir ris branch also, a few months back. But, i thought it was worth reviewing this one as well, as food quality and price differs, even if it's under the same name. As a matter of fact, i do prefer this place much more to the pasir ris branch (mainly due to the people running it not being idiots). To get here (unless you live close by) you'll want to take bus 29 from tampines bus interchange. From there, it's around a 10-12 minute journey, you want to alight when you see Dunman Primary School. From there it's only a two minute walk.

Simple Foods Vegetarian
Location: Blk 462, Tampines St 44, #01-64
Contact: 67826142
Opening Hours: Daily 9am-10pm. Opens on alternative Mondays (it's worth calling them if you're going on a Monday!)

This is going to be an entirely Western post, and we're kicking off with the Chicken Burger. Good price, however, in regards to the burgers, both the tampines and pasir ris branches suffer from the same problem. Sogginess! While mayonnaise is a somewhat of an essential ingredient, this is what makes the mock chicken and bread so soggy. I'd rather have a none-mushy burger that has no mayo. Sloppy in taste and also in appearance, a disappointing burger by all accounts. But $0.80 cheaper than the pasir ris branch!

Price: $3.00. 5/10

We were highly curious of how the mock meat would taste in this Mexican Salmon Steak. To our alarm, the mock meat tasty quite fishy! This is another incarnation of their most popular dish, the mexican roast steak. I've been to Simple Foods a few times, and they're using considerably less cheese now. The fries are cooked well. The mock meat is made of soy with breadcrumbs, i believe that they make their own mock meat! Overall an above average dish! If you have the craving for western, i would recommend this one!

Price: $7.00. 7/10

Final dish that we ordered was the Pork Chop Set. Again the mock meat is made of soy, and tasted good! These dishes are all much cheaper than the pasir ris branch, and i find that the quality of the chefs is slightly higher. Very authentic mock meat taste, although i'd rather they had a different sauce. On a side note, these places should start giving tomato ketchup instead of chili sauce! Western food is not meant to be eaten with chili sauce!

Price: $7.00. 7/10

Conclusion - If you really want to go and check Simple Foods out, then this is the branch that you want to be going to! The service is much better, without the idiots that run the pasir ris branch. The food is all around cheaper, and the ambiance is better. If you want good Western food, then this is definitely a place you might want to consider, the mock meat is quite special, and tastes great! Stay away from the burger though, which is quite clumsy and not even worth $3 dollars.

Whole Earth Vegetarian Restaurant - Tanjong Pagar

This restaurant specializes in peranakan (fusion of Chinese and Malay) cuisine, and is located a stones throw away from Tanjong Pagar MRT. You want use Exit A, when you come out from the underground you should see a white building on your right hand side, that's Whole Earth! To my surprise this place was feverishly busy! Singaporean's are obviously much richer than i am, cause this menu is pricey! If you're coming as a party of three or four, be prepared to pay in excess of $90 to $100 dollars. For such a high price, surely the food must be out of this world?

Whole Earth Vegetarian Restaurant
Location: 76 Peck Seah Street
Contact:
63233308
Opening Hours: 11am-3pm and 5:30pm-10pm

This is the Compulsory Entree that you get prior to your meal. Starting from left to right, we have papaya slices that have been pickled, in the middle there is sambal belachan chili, and finally on the far right we have deep fried bean curd sheets, with seaweed in the middle. My girlfriends family loved it so much that they bought three containers home! These containers can be bought at the front of the store at the price of 1 container for $4 dollars or 3 containers for $10 dollars. I originally thought this was free, but have recently found it costs $3 dollars, which really irks me, i hate having to pay for something i didn't order...As if this place isn't expensive enough already.

Price: $3.00. 4/10


This restaurants most renowned rice is the Signature Olive Brown Rice. This is a fantastic tasting rice dish. The amount of olives inside is quite considerable, and consequently this packs a lot more flavour into the rice! The rice is nice and chewy. Compared to the white olive rice that we ordered, i found the grains to be of a better quality, and the dish having a more smokey taste, which you know i adore!

Price: $7.00. 7/10


This Olive Rice is a dollar cheaper, and considerable lower in quality. The grains of the rice are more broken, and there was less olives (therefore less flavour) inside. Overall it's quite a plain tasting dish, therefore i would recommend paying the dollar extra and getting their signature brown rice! It's much more superior!

Price: $6.00. 5/10



Probably my favourite dish of the night! This is the Penang Rendang. As you should know by now, i am a adamant adorer of thick curry based dishes. And this is one of them. Well, to be more accurate, this is practically a dry curry. All the dishes from Whole Earth are presented flawlessly, which is no different for this dish. Portion size is huge and spicy! It doesn't taste how a rendang should typically taste, nevertheless it's a fine tasting dish that i'd recommend highly. It (like all the dishes) will make your wallet cry money shaped tears, though.

Price: $15.00. 7/10

Another really superb dish, this is the Kong Bah Braised Mushroom. The portion size is quite large. Eating the meat in the white buns is something i always enjoy! It came with (if my memory serves me correctly) six buns, on the side. The meat and sauce is wonderfully flavoured. Again presentation is super!

Price: $15.00. 7/10




One of their signature dishes, this Broccoli with Braised Monkeyhead Mushroom is one of the most expensive dishes on the menu, costing the amount that i'd usually pay for a whole meal with drinks! The monkeyhead meat is lightly fried, the texture is slightly spongy, the best way to describe it is like a hybrid of the top of the mushroom and the stem. Actually hard to describe! It's very juicy and has a very authentic meat texture! The sauce that it is dripping in has some sort of Chinese herbs in, with red goji berries inside.

Price: $20.00. 7/10

This vegetable dish called Sambal Kangkong is a overwhelmingly priced dish (paying this much purely for veggies is mind boggling to me). What was also overwhelming was the spice of this dish! Very hot! Which i found not too bad, however, this was probably everyone's least favourite dish of night. With it feeling more like a chore to finish it, and it's one expensive chore.

Price: $12.00. 5/10


Conclusion - This place does sell fantastic food, no question of that. But before rounding up the food, let's talk about the other factors. Firstly, the interior design is lovely, wooden seats makes the place look picturesque! The location is nice and convenient. However, the staff look deeply miserable. Unfortunately, there was one poor waitress called Shu Min (only her third day) who was getting victimized by the other waiters for mistakes she made, which soured my evening. Food wise, if every dish was $5-6 dollars cheaper, this would be one of the best restaurants in Singapore. The level of the food is unquestionably very high, but the price take matches (if not exceeds) the food quality. I'm more of a $2 bowl of noodles type of guy, so i couldn't find justification for spending so much for food, which i know i can find $8-10 dollars cheaper elsewhere. This is why none of these dishes have managed to get past 7/10, because the quality simply doesn't surpass the price. Especially infuriating is the $3 dollar compulsory entree that finds its way onto the table, i hate being forced to pay for something i never ordered. If you're swimming in money, come here!

Li Wei Vegetarian - Serangoon

This place is highly well known among the vegetarian community. The majority of the hype surrounding this eatery is due to the chicken rice, which is deemed the best vegetarian chicken rice in Singapore! Quite a statement! Location wise it's a bit of a pain to get to, if you don't live close by. Not near to any MRT's, you'll have to take a bus to get there, and even then, it's nestled in a very awkward place, which is difficult to find, but it's worth it!


Li Wei Vegetarian
Location: Blk 151 Serangoon North Ave 1 #01-41
Contact:
97864741
Opening Hours: 8am - 8pm. Except Thursday which they're only open until 12pm. (If you want their famous chicken rice, or dishes such as nasi lemak, you must come before mid day).

So, let's get onto this legendary Chicken Rice. Is it really as good as they say? Well, yes. It's a fantastic version, the crust of the char siew is caramelized perfectly. Along with this, it's taste is almost fatty (without having the actual fat), which is exactly how good char siew should be! This char siew is made of soy, instead of the usual gluten. The rice is perfect! Its grains are whole, and has a wonderful texture. I've been told the rice is almost identical to the real thing. The mock chicken, which is what the whole dish revolves around is made of gluten, which makes it a little sickly. It's deep fried, therefore it has quite a tough batter to it, but it's nice and crispy! Chicken rice seems in its essence a deceptively simple dish, however, it can be tough to perfect, and this version from Li Wei, i would have to concur, is definitely the best!

Price: $3.50. 10/10

There is also Steamed Chicken Rice that you can purchase, which i don't find as good as the aforementioned chicken rice, however, it is very authentic, with a very generous serving! The sauce that is poured over the steamed chicken is exactly the type you should typically get from a chicken rice, very nice!

Price: $3.50. 8/10

Here's a better look at the full meal. With the clear soup, rice, char siew, chicken and the chili sauce (nice and tart) and black sauce. It's important to mention that on this stall, there is little mention of the chicken rice, so you might have to ask them. It won't be written anywhere obvious (i guess so famous that it doesn't need to?). If you go to this stall, it's simply a must buy.






Here is the white version of the Fried Carrot Cake. Although this version was quite enjoyable, nothing really leaped out to me as excellent from this dish. I do prefer the black carrot cake, so maybe my bias is influencing this a little. But overall it was quite ordinary.

Price: $2.50. 6/10






Although chicken rice is the signature dish at Li Wei, this dish comes pretty darn close to beating it! This is the Vegetarian Hotplate BBQ Fish, i'm forever grateful to Janice for recommending this extraordinary dish to me! A warning first, this is one of the hottest dishes that i've ever tried, in between the two slabs of fish is an exorbitant amount of chili paste, which will leave you wanting to dunk your head in ice water. Although it's a high price, it's more than warrented, as the serving is large. The fish texture is top class, but the main highlight is the beautiful flavours that spring out from all over this dish. The BBQ sauce, which surrounds the fish is absolutely perfect. The green herb you see on top is coriander, which cancels out at least a little bit of the spice. Although i am tempted to give this 10/10, ah, what the heck, i'm giving it 10/10, but you have been warned, this is as hot as hell!

Price: $7.00. 10/10

This has to be the best Hokkien Mee i've ever tasted. And i'm glad it's vegetarian! The gravy was thick and flavourful...Just as good as the original non-vegetarian version- minus the artery clogging lard and seafood. It is neither too dry or soupy. The noodles are extremely tasty from absorbing the yummy stock. The lime and chili that came with it gave it an extra oomph.

Price: $2.50. 8/10




This dish is not what i would call a Mee Siam. The strong lemongrass essence in it reminded me of Tomyam! But i do love my Tomyam, so it is not such a bad thing afterall! The dish was pretty decent and interesting with the sharp sweet and sour tones. It's accompanied by pieces of fried tofu, beancurd sheets and a random slice of fish. The portion size is huge for it's humble price. I just might consider ordering it again...

Price: $2.50. 7/10


Conclusion - I can say with great clarity that this place definitely lives up to the hype! The food is just superb here. And although chicken rice is certainly the dish you must order when you go here, the dish that truly blew me away was the BBQ fish. What an unbelievably good dish, i urge you to order it! The staff are helpful, the only trouble in paradise is that it's such a tricky place to find. But like i said, well well worth it. Value of the meals is very cheap, especially for such high quality. The chicken rice might appear expensive, but the serving size is noticeably larger than the usual chicken rice. This place must rank as one of the best vegetarian stalls in Singapore! Go check it out!

Phuket (Thailand) - Street & Coffee Shop Food!

PHUKET! Arguably one of the most popular destinations in the world right now. I know in my home country Thailand is the place everyone is obsessed with at the moment, also with high influxes of German, Australian and French tourists in particular. But of course, with its close proximity to Singapore, it's definitely a great destination for Singaporeans. It's definitely not the cheapest place to go to in South-East Asia (especially for taxi's!), so i decided to find some cheap street/coffee shop food that will save you having to pay huge amounts in the extortionate restaurants that flood Phuket.

First up, this pancake and tea lady is located on the road opposite Nai Yang beach (although they move around all day), she serves a variety of pancakes/crepes. Although, this isn't really a pancake per se (i will explain later). Not many tourists seem to dare to try anything that even remotely resembles street food, haha. Oh well, more for me! They do have a point though, the hygiene standards of the foods are vastly different compared to Singapore, but there is a lot of great food if you're willing to take the risk!



So this is the end product. We opted for the Strawberry Pancake. However, they also crack an egg in the middle of this pancake!? Therefore making some bizarre hybrid of an omelet and a crepe. Very interesting. The strawberry sauce tastes like jam, and the texture (for those who like eggs) is very nice. Price is quite high, but it's to be expected. You also must get the milk tea from here (or anywhere in Phuket) as it is thick, creamy and great!

Price: 35 baht ($1.50). 7/10


These guys are hard to find! He's selling ice cream, similar to the ice cream sellers in Singapore. This is the street food that i loved the most during our whole stay in Phuket. I just wish there was more of them! This type of ice cream comes in a cup, and is a very good price. I went back for so many of these that day, so greedy.







The Ice Cream is an unusual concoction of many different components. Firstly, there is the coconut ice cream, under that is glutinous rice (a very popular food that is present in many Thai dishes), then there is condensed milk and chocolate sauce poured on top, with peanuts sprinkled on lastly. Wow, i just loved it, the glutinous rice with the ice cream is just amazing! Not overly sweet, and just a delicious treat!

Price: 10 baht ($0.40). 9/10



Last but not least for Thai street food is the Tornado Potato. Now these can be found almost everywhere, it is hugely popular with the locals. It is basically a potato that has been spirally cut. It's texture is mid way between a crisp and a chip! You can get many different flavoured powder to put on it, such as barbecue, pizza flavour, cheese, sesame and tom yam. We ate so so many of these! They vary in quality wherever you go, the best ones should have a soft yet crispy potato.

Price: 25 baht ($1.00). 8/10


I did want to review one of the eateries in Phuket as well, so here it goes. This place is called Num Hen, all vegetarian. I am highly scared when going to coffee shops in Phuket, as it seems like they leave the same food out all day. Moreover, there are a hefty amount of flies buzzing around. Therefore, we decided to go early in the morning, when the food would be its freshest, and pray we wouldn't get sick! The sacrifices i make for my dedicated readers!

PS - I didn't get sick in the end!

Num Hen Vegetarian Food
Location: Chana Charoen Rd, Phuket Town

Here's a selection of all the food that you can order. Most of it is very very spicy, even a devout spice lover like myself found it a little bit too over powering. Like i said, if you are brave enough to go to the coffee shops, i highly recommend you buy the food early in the day, when it's at its freshest!








Here is the Standard Rice that my girlfriend ordered. The most delicious part of this dish is the lemongrass fish, which you can see on the far left hand side. It's so juicy and tastes divine! However, it will also set your tongue on fire! The spice even in a simple standard rice meal is so much more powerful than Singapore dishes, it's really too hot to handle! Really cheap and good value though...If you can take spicy, then go for it!

Price: 30 baht ($1.25). 8/10



If you don't order standard rice, then there is only one more option, that's the Fresh Noodles. It's cooked right there and then, which immediately appealed to me. It was very tasty, and again very spicy. The staff are very friendly (even though there was a huge language barrier), there is also an adorable little kid who brought us some water too!

Price: 30 baht ($1.25). 7/10

Other Vegetarian coffee shops in Phuket:-

Herson Vegetarian Restaurant, Phuket City

Ruam Jai Ahaan Jay restaurant, Phuket City

Jay Pa Leam restaurant on Bangkok Rd

Yo Pochana and Lotus restaurant, both on Yaowarat Rd


Conclusion - Phuket is a place that can be difficult for vegetarians...If you go to the more remote areas. We were located in Phuket Town for a few days, and found no problem at all in finding vegetarian eateries, such as the ones above. The problem comes if you decide to stay in the lesser known (but more beautiful) areas such as Nai Thon or Nai Yang, although street snacks are abundant, you will struggle with your big meals (as hotels are frustratingly backwards with vegetarian options). Your safest option is to bring some instant noodles if you're intending to stay in those lesser populated areas.

Also worth mentioning is Phuket's vegetarian festival, which my blogging peer Janice went to this year, you definitely won't struggle to find vegetarian food during that period! It usually takes place mid-late October. You can also witness the locals sticking sharp, large, dangerous objects into their cheeks.

Ci Xin Healthy Vegetarian Food - Changi Airport

My second post from Changi Airport. Again this is located in the same cafeteria that my previous post is in. I've been to this stall a few times, during the numerous times i've been at Changi Airport. There are a few more eateries in other terminals (as my blogging peers pointed out in my comments). From what i've heard they're nothing spectacular. So will this one be the one (and only) good vegetarian eatery in Changi Airport!? Now is the time to find out!



Cin Xin Healthy Vegetarian Food
Location: Changi Airport Terminal 2, Carpark 2A (Level 2), Level 3M
Contact: Unknown
Opening Hours: Unkown

This Standard Bee Hoon was not the greatest dish i've eaten by far. Firstly, a reoccurring problem with this eatery is all the food is very cold, i know stalls have a three hour rule (correct me if i'm wrong?) for leaving food out, but this food just feels...Old! This stall does have a number of interesting mock meats, that arn't commonly found in most stalls, such as this mock ham/pork, which i must say (apart from being very cold) was not bad at all. The noodles were the exact opposite though, very bad indeed.

Conclusion - The conclusion is, there is no good vegetarian eatery at Changi Airport, haha. But, like i mentioned in my previous post. Lovers of Indian food can soon unite and celebrate, as Ananda Bhavan is coming! It's also expanding to doing home delivery/e-orders (check out more on their website http://www.anandabhavan.com). Sorry to not say more about this place, but there really isn't much to say, overall it's a below average eatery, with very bad bee hoon. The next post will be of the food i sampled in Phuket, probably will get around to posting it sometime tomorrow!
