Blue Siam beach celebrations Visions of intimate conversation laced with a hint of romance can quickly fall by the wayside in the fast-paced world of Phuket beach nightlife. Drama at the basting beachfront bars followed with a heavy nightclub scene can easily wrench the last bit of passion from one’s nocturnal plans, especially if you want a truly magical experience. Blue Siam, the Gallery Beach Club, is the hidden gem of Bang Tao Beach that can give you a unique night out. Nestled just on the edge of the southern end of Bang Tao Beach, Blue Siam is like a beach party unit for those who wish to escape the ordinary beach bar scene. At the back of what is seemingly a plain white concrete wall, Blue Siam opens up into a green backyard with a wooden pathway to the elegant open-air beach dining area. The bar is white, unpretentious yet sophisticated, accentuated by lines of coconut trees. Following the minimalist concept, shipping containers are used for the air-conditioned dining unit and the kitchen. They are simple but surprisingly effective, eco-chic and

Blue Siam offers the ideal atmosphere for sharing with special someone whether it’s the first date or the tenth; or a large gathering for a birthday celebration, wedding party or other special occasion. The venue can easily transform the dining area to a theme and add your favorite music with a live DJ. The best part of Blue Siam is it really is right on the beach! Feel sugary white sand between your toes, listen to the soft sound of waves caressing the shore and watch the most beautiful sunset you can imagine. After a short walk on the luminous sand while the sun fades into the evening’s dim blue lighting, park yourself on a comfy couch and linger over your favorite cocktail. The menu here features a list of Thai cuisine carefully selected for optimal pleasure, including fine appetizers, exquisite main courses, and occasional changing special menus for holidays like New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day.
The food is satisfyingly delicious and presented with culinary perfection. Goong Sarong of Blue Siam is especially extraordinary: enjoy deep-fried marinated tiger prawn rolls served with special house sweet and sour sauce. The chef wraps each prawn with a light rice pastry before deepfrying it and the result is a delectable art piece. Another fine choice is the Pla Kapong Sam See: deep-fried snapper topped with the chef’s secret sauce. The golden fish is deliciously crispy on the outside but succulently juicy inside; and it is well complemented by a mild sweet and sour sauce. The rest of the menu at Blue Siam is full of more crowd pleasers, light bites and elegant dinner selections. Blue Siam ensures a memorable night out on the beach with great food, a beautiful atmosphere and charming service. Bring your next celebration to the beach! 27 www.phuket4seasons.com

Sun, Sea and Sand at Catch & Grill The best way to start an evening is with a Phuket signature cocktail at Catch & Grill Seafood Restaurant & Steak House. The ‘Triple S – Sea, Sun, Sand’ cocktail was an award-winner in the Andaman Hoteliers show held in August 2011. This delightful cocktail is the creation of Panquan Thienngam, who told us she uses Gordon Gin, Blue Curacao, Triple Sec, lime juice and syrup topped with soda to represent varying shades of blue sea. A red cherry is placed on top to reflect the tropical sun that rises when the drink is stirred and settles when the ‘sea’ calms down. Pineapple juice from local Phuket pineapples, a symbol of the island, is used as the top layer to signify the powdery sand of Phuket’s beaches. The Triple S cocktail tastes a bit of sweet and sour with a refreshing sparkling texture and a light degree of alcohol. The dining area at Catch & Grill is spacious and relaxed with minimalist wood furniture highlighted by hanging

lanterns and oversized stylish lamps. There’s a comfortable bar area and an open kitchen where you can see your food being prepared. There are about 60 seats and the dining space is roughly divided into two areas that are both alfresco –inside and on the balcony. Choose an outside table to enjoy the lively scene of Patong under a starlit night. The food here is sublime and we recommend the Baked Mussels with Cheese as a starter. New Zealand imported mussels are doused with parsley, garlic, wine, lime juice and pepper, then topped with three kinds of cheese – mozzarella, parmesan and gouda – for an incredible taste and texture. This dish leads with its enticing aroma and brings forth a taste you won’t forget. It’s served hot right from the oven with delicious garlic bread.
Another tantalizing dish is the Deep Fried Chicken Breast with Lemon Sauce. Boneless chicken battered and fried crispy in small bites to share is accompanied by lemon sauce with a hint of spiciness from chili. The sauce puts a mouthwatering spin on the chicken – and you’ll want all your friends to try it. For a sweet ending, order the perfectly prepared Tiramisu presented in a martini glass. This flavorful Italian delight is just the right way to end a meal. Catch & Grill sits on the ground floor of Patong Paragon Resort & Spa on Taweewong road at the edge of Patong-Kalim beach. The restaurant serves an array of seafood and international dishes for dinner and late night nibbling from 6pm to 1am daily.

Revive yourself at Chicco di Caffè Lavazza Chicco di Caffè Lavazza at Jungceylon Patong shopping center is where you can take in the refreshing aroma and taste of the quality Italian coffee Lavazza. The kiosk has about 20 seats located on the ground floor at the Port Zone. It’s near the main focal point of the complex, where you can also enjoy a water fountain show. Caffeine addicts around the world know that Lavazza is a brand you can trust for an excellent brew every time. Their experience dates from the early 1900s and has been passed down through generations. Chicco di Caffè is just the right place to take in some refreshments after a crazy afternoon shopping. Sit down and rest your feet while sipping your favorite drink, or even just pop in for a bottle of mineral water.

Caffeine addicts around the world know that Lavazza is a brand you can trust for an excellent brew every time.
As well as a full range of coffee such as espresso, cappuccino, latte and Americano, Chicco di Caffè also provides plenty of other refreshing drink options. Chocolate drinks, fruit smoothies, organic fresh juice and shakes are all delicious choices. I picked a yoghurt smoothie called ‘Monkey Mango’ as a way to cool off. Mango, banana and yoghurt are blended for a fresh wonderful drink that doesn’t disappoint. It set me back in the mood for more shopping. You can also try the ‘Berry Lovers’ – a sweet and tangy mixture of three berries (strawberry, blueberry and raspberry); or ‘Strawberry Mango’ with the sour of strawberry and sweetness of luscious mango. These three are the most popular smoothies.
A pastry or sandwich is good if you need a little more to keep you going. If a long shopping list awaits you, try the chicken salad or tuna salad to get you through the rest of the day. For a sweet treat on a hot day, a few scoops of Thai homemade ice cream can be refreshing. Chicco di Caffè offers alternatives for those who are organic eaters. Their juice extractor creates 100% fresh fruit juice with no sugar added that guarantees the nutrients found naturally in fruit are retained and the drinks offer more benefit than just a great taste. Chicco di Caffè is a place for everyone in the family. So make sure you stop by next time you are shopping at Jungceylon Patong!

Authentic Thai flavor of Weaves If you are looking to experience authentic Thai cuisine near the beach with an air of tranquility, then Weaves in Surin provides the ideal setting. The restaurant enjoys an excellent location right in front of the boutique Manathai Resort, just short walk to the sandy shores. It offers a sublime view of the sunset from a smart casual open-air dining room. The bronze textile weaving throughout the restaurant gives this classic venue its name as does the manner in which it blends Thai traditional living with chic contemporary design. You’ll love the friendly Thai service and the wide selection of traditional flavors throughout the menu. Weaves is not one of those average lavish restaurants found inside a luxury hotel. It retains the concept of warmth from its affiliation with a boutique establishment. It is a mixture of modern and rustic, cozy and stylish. Dark wood flooring and bronze ornaments contrast clean white tablecloths; while plump cushions create a relaxed ambience. The Thai style high ceiling breathes an air of freshness with classy dangling chandeliers.

You’ll love the friendly Thai service and the wide selection of traditional flavors throughout the menu.
The staff members here offer bright smiles and refreshing ice water along with the impressive Thai menu. You’ll find a large selection of authentic Thai cuisine including local dishes like Sataw (twisted cluster bean or stink bean), a unique vegetable of southern Thailand that is rarely served in restaurants elsewhere. Even though the menu is mainly Thai, the chef adds a creative touch with some fusion twists that remain true to traditional flavors. One example is the Chu Chee Salmon. Chu Chee is traditional curry sauce for seafood, such as prawns and local fish. In this dish, the chef has combined the curry with salmon. The strong flavor, color and texture of the filet goes particularly well with this rich red curry sauce and is best served with steamed jasmine rice. Another fish dish for those who love flavorful food is Plakrapong Nueng Manao. Whole
snapper steamed and dressed with lemon juice offers a pleasingly piquant sour zest. Besides the fresh seafood at Weaves, you’ll want to sample some of the family favorites. Honey spareribs served in honey-and-oil glaze seals in the succulence of the meat. The ribs are baked to a golden brown and the pork practically falls off the bone. This is a popular dish among kids and parents! It’s best to come to Weaves before sunset and unwind with a drink whilst watching the sky change from brilliant hues of reds and oranges to purples and pinks. Lamps glow with dim light as you get ready to order your meal. The restaurant later in the night is a touch brighter, livened with reflections on the bronze curves and art pieces. This is the perfect place for excellent food and a relaxing atmosphere.

Horn Grill Steak house:
home of the grill master
Horn Grill Steakhouse has received outstanding reviews for its gourmet steaks and was even honored as a top-rated steakhouse by Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence 2011. Its elegant surrounds, especially the cottage style garden, along with uncompromising service make it the most talked about steakhouse on the island. This upscale premium steakhouse is located just a few minutes from Kata beachfront, opposite to Kata Beach Resort. Horn Grill offers clean-cut simplicity in its dining area with friendly staff members ready to greet you warmly. Farther inside the restaurant, you’ll find the completely renovated lounge and garden areas supply a cozy and inviting upscale ambiance. The lounge boasts a rich and luxurious setting. Leather sofas and a state-of-the-art lighting system give the space modern flair, making every night magical. The huge wine cellar in the back contains a tremendous wine collection including glamorous champagne cocktails that are rarely found elsewhere in Thailand.

The setting is enhanced with live piano melodies and scintillating jazz rhythms each night from 7pm onwards.

Horn Grill exceeds expectations with their extraordinary menu and culinary precision. Margarita Prawn is the restaurant’s own creation and a superb beginning to any meal here. Unlike other prawn cocktails you may have experienced, this delight features an impressive presentation of huge prawns served in a cocktail glass with a special sauce and is accompanied by aromatic homemade bread topped with roasted garlic.

The classic pepper sauce is delicious and enhances the beefy flavor. Every steak is given careful attention at Horn Grill so you will never be disappointed. The menu also features a range of other choices like veal, lamb and seafood. You’ll really want to try the spareribs – which are known around the island for their savory flavor! Prices are moderate for the five-star standard of cuisine at Horn Grill and the service is professional. If you love steak – you will love this restaurant!

Try their fresh large lobsters baked with butter and garlic sauce. The sauce perfectly enhances the natural taste and the freshness of the lobsters; while the seafood dip is even more delicious. Lobster aficionados will find various delightful dishes and the lobster stir-fried with spring onion, ginger and garlic is also recommended. If you’re not sure what to order, the staff members are knowledgeable and provide good suggestions. Another dish we sampled was the flavorful fish dish: deep-fried grouper with sweet chili
sauce surprised us with its intense aroma. It worked well to gear up hearty appetites and enhance the mood for the rest of our dinner selections. The delicious blend of sweet and sour flavors leaves you completely satisfied and is an exotic adventure for the palate. Sitting on the balcony allows you to watch the vigorous and professional moves of the cooks preparing your dishes in the large open kitchen. Turn up early to take in the brilliant sunset. Baan Kalim is the perfect escape where you can delight in tantalizing seafood and genuine Thai fare.

A fine brew at the Coffee Club The name Coffee Club might not sound familiar to Thais but to Australians and New Zealanders the café has been generally well known for over two decades as a place where people meet, have excellent coffee, and enjoy a wide selection of café inspired cuisine. The Coffee Club actually has two locations in Phuket. Opened in 2009, the first café is in Turtle Village near JW Marriott Resort & Spa and many other five-star resorts, just north of Phuket town. The branch we visited is in the Patong area and easily accessed from Rat-U-Thit 200 Pee road as the café sits on the ground floor at the Silang Boulevard Zone, Jungceylon Complex. Although facing one of the busiest spots in Patong, the Coffee Club provides you with a casual atmosphere suitable for relaxing and reenergizing. Executive Chef James takes control of the kitchen here. He recommends a list of Western favorite foods and some new dishes that will add the taste of Thailand to your journey. The Big Breakfast is comprised of sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, crispy hash browns and a cup of coffee or juice – and is an excellent beginning

to any day. For lunch, consider the Caesar Salad for a green meal or Beef Massaman Curry for something more filling. New Zealand imported beef tenderly cooked with Massaman curry and served with jasmine rice has rich aroma. It pampers the palate with succulent tastes of meat and spices. Panang Chicken is grilled chicken breast with a mild nutty panang curry sauce that is delicately flavorful. My favorite is Peppered Pork Fillet as the pork tenderloin goes very well with peppercorn sauce and enoki mushrooms seasoned balsamic vinegar. Snow Fish Mango Salad is the impeccable choice for those who prefer a healthy and slightly spicy dish. The sour unripe mango stands out. It is impossible not to mention coffee when you are at the Coffee Club! Every cup of coffee is full of passion and pleasure as the coffee beans come from around the world. You might try beans from far-flung destinations like Brazil, Ecuador and India to name a few.
Whether you are new or an old friend to coffee, the Coffee Club will surely offer something to tickle your fancy. A frappe and a pancake might be just the right thing to build up energy for battling the heat of the tropical sun. The café also serves up beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages in case you would like to boost your blood circulation before a meal or after sundown. The Coffee Club provides free Wi-Fi internet for customers. Those who need to stay connected are welcome to spend hours surfing or working in the comfortable surrounds. You may even want to move your office here once you try the delicious coffee and friendly service. So make this your next stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Operating hours are from 8am to midnight daily, and you won’t want to leave!

Experience Khao Rang Breeze A cool breeze and a spectacular view of Phuket town await you at Khao Rang Breeze on top of Rang Hill in the northwest of Phuket town. Before walking into the restaurant, take a moment to visit the bronze statue of Phraya Ratsada Nupradit, the Governor of Phuket who played an important role to the development of southern Thailand during the reign of King Rama V. It is a good idea to add Khao Rang Breeze to your Phuket town itinerary. The restaurant can be visited from 10am till midnight and is far more than just a place to eat. If possible, choose a day with good weather and arrive before sunset. The stunning view with its mesmerizing transition from dusk to darkness unfolding a sea of stars before you is a real treat.

The staff is very helpful in making recommendations and we started our meal with Salmon Jeedz. This dish is smoked salmon with three types of sauce: Thai green chili seafood sauce, cream sauce, and Japanese soy sauce. Grilled Eryngii Mushroom with Shrimp Cream Sauce is a dish all mushroom lovers will want to try! King oyster mushrooms are sweet, mild and buttery – whilst also nutritious with few calories and lots of protein. We moved on to our main dishes with deepfried Tiger Prawn. Prawns are fresh and sprinkled with sour-spicy Thai style salad and a slight hint of coriander. Khao Rang Breeze also boasts their signature fish dish: Fish Baked Pandan. Pandan leaves are used
for wrapping the fish before baking to allow for a unique aromatic flavor infusion. This is a good dish for those who can’t eat spicy foods. A live band enhances the atmosphere every night from 7:30pm to 11pm. The easy-listening Thai pop songs are a nice complement to a romantic atmosphere when combined with the soft lighting of the restaurant. Ask the staff what the monthly wine promotion is when you visit and enjoy a glass with your meal. Not just a restaurant but also a complete experience and sightseeing highlight of Phuket – Khao Rang Breeze promises great food and a view that you won’t want to miss!

Orawana Healthy Cuisine Orawana Diet each day, diseases away and beauty all day!
After having the most memorable delicious brunch at Orawana Healthy Cuisine, I realized that a nice meal is meaningful not just to my taste buds but also to my health and beauty. We all know that the most precious thing is our health and wellbeing, which shows in our appearance. The restaurant was founded by Dr. Orawan, the most famous health and beauty guru in Phuket, with over 20 years of experience in treating people from all around the world for chronic diseases and cancer. Known very well for anti-aging remedies and holistic beauty treatments, the doctor created delicious recipes for health and beauty containing fruitful extracts and ingredients for holistic health and beauty without pills. The miracle of holistic healing comes through Restaurant Preview 62
Orawana’s five menu sets: Perfect Beauty Set, Perfect Body and Weight Management Set, Perfect Smart Brain and Hair Growth Set, Perfect Pretty and Clear Eye Set, and Perfect Anti-Aging and Anti-Cancer Set. Each set contains a precise amount of Thai herbs, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms and fish. All enriched ingredients are specially selected for each set with purpose and also meet Halal standards. A fresh vegetable salad with different kinds of fruity salad sauces begins each of the sets. The main dish is a Thai style noodle called Kuoy Tiew Lui Suan Choun Souy, meaning ‘noodles that create beauty’. The colorful noodles are made from natural extracts: green from green vegetables, red from beetroot, orange from carrot, blue from the Thai flower ‘anchan’
and black from sesame. To bring out the characteristics of each set, the dish is wrapped with organic fresh nutrients specific to the set. It goes well with Orawana delicious herbal sauce. Served in a slow-poaching hot pot, Orawana energizing soup is enriched in natural Glutathione and amino acids. There are different fresh ingredients for each set and you cook them yourself in the hot pot at the table. Next is a glass of fresh blended vegetable and fruit juice, enriched in special enzymes for each set and all excellent for health and beauty. These drinks are delicious and refreshing. Wrap up the meal with Orawana enchanting homemade natural organic ice cream in a variety of healthy choices served along with an anti-aging herbal tea. Last but not least are the take-home snacks. Pick from a great selection of Orawana freeze-dried fruits including jackfruit, orange, papaya, tamarind, strawberry, kiwi, pineapple, tomato, mango and more – along with herbal supplements. Catering is also provided if you want to host your own health and beauty party. Orawana exquisite healthy cuisine dishes and supplements are all the fruits of some grueling hard work and incredible talent by Dr. Orawan. Your meal at Orawana Healthy Cuisine will surely be the most valuable and delicious culinary journey of your life. A set meal is just 350 baht while good health is the key to a good life. Orawana Diet each day, diseases away and beauty all day!
