ซิน ซิน - Xin Xin

This was certainly a wonderful revelation to find. This was a Traditional Chinese restaurant which was clearly a family business and were happy welcomed by what was the mother of the family.

And family was exactly how we were treated. There are a great many of these small places scattered throughout Phuket and they are definitely worth visiting if you want a truly real experience of Phuket dining.

So how was the food? It was magnificent and we have since returned. The noodles were certainly freshly made and it was almost the best deep fried pork in Phuket, but that would be ซินซิน บะหมี่เบตง.

Then the simple fried rice was also freshly made - a clue to this was the quality of the condiments that came with it. 

Then I read on the posters how long that this small shop may have been in Phuket but has links to Facebook.

And they had WiFi...

บ้านภิรมย์กรีนโอ๊ค

Well this is listed on foursquare as a 'Salad Place' and I was only aware of that after we had left.

So what is this place? Well it certainly has an enormous amount of character which we did not expect - rich in character would be what I would describe it has.

I wonder where they found all these bits?

The walls are covered with a number of different items.

Fascinating things but I am sure that they are original. 

the elephant god Ganesha is popular to these people.

Then the LEGO models which my daughter adored.

Then Captain America and Wolverine joined us...

I almost forgot - the salad - the fruit starter was wonderful.

Then there were the ribs!

The Saba fish...

There was so much and so much more...

ร้านอาหารเช้าอิสลาม - Borae

ร้านอาหารเช้าอิสลาม (Borae)  is very close to where I live and it is where I must pick ups the bus in the morning. So this means that I have seen a lot and had a lot here. I believe that it was once called Sala Deang?

There are 4 places in a very close vicinity where you can purchase food from and neither one sees to worry about the other.

1) The Patongkoh - deep fried dough balls - delicious for a munch. 

2) Beef Strips - freshly made.

3) Fried chicken - a favourite of my daughter's. There is a lot more here which you may find of interest 
- the Hor Mok is always popular.

4) A seated selection of dishes and the wonderful Cha Yen - iced tea.
