Click HERE http://dairycream.blogspot.sg/2013/04/ananda-bhavan-oldest-indian-vegetarian.html for Full ReviewMy trip to the oldest vegetarian restaurant in Singapore, Ananda Bhavan (since 1924), for their Putu Bola was futile when I discovered it was no longer on their menu.Nevertheless, on the very least, we could not leave our stomach empty. So, we settled for their usual vegetarian fare like the Paper Thosai ($3.30). I liked Thosai rolled in this manner rather than being flat. It was not as paper crisp as it looks, slightly elastic but good with the various chutney sauces like dhal and tomato. The coconut chutney may not appeal to everyone but it was my favourite as it emits a light, mildly sweet aftertaste.Their Mushroom Marsala above ($4.80) is similar the thosai but filled with mushroom, potato and onion curry. Perhaps should have ordered their Mysore Masala which looked spicier on the menu. I must admit I know nothing much about indian sweets except for gulab jamun, kulfi. It took me ages to figure which items are the least sweet based on their appearances (self-service). I thought I would end up with many but eventually ended up with only 2 items.The Milk Kova $1.40 is a South Indian sweet made of condensed milk, ghee, some yoghurt and sugar while the Chocolate Burfi $1.40 is made with same ingredients but added with chocolate powder. Though some may say that they are just like chocolate fudge, I nearly had a sugar concussion after finishing both (the old folks stopped at one bite). At the same time, I was glad to only have picked 2 instead of say, 5.I am not certain if this is really the true food standards of Ananda Bhavan because this Selegie outlet is not their main outlet. Service? Well, I was brushed off quite rudely by the impatient lady at the counter. But this shall not deter my quest for more tasty Indian food in Singapore.Full Review at : http://dairycream.blogspot.sg/2013/04/ananda-bhavan-oldest-indian-vegetarian.html continue reading

I visited Ananda Bhavan Restaurat few weeks back since I was craving to have Upma & a friend recommended that you get good Upma at Ananda Bhavan Restaurant. Upma is basically made wit samolina & is like a fried rice minus the soya . The spices are mild & it is quite filling. In India it is eaten as a breakfast snack. This Upma was loaded with vegetables & nuts & had a nice fragrance of ghee & curry leaves . It was served with chutney it costs about 2.5 $. continue reading

Ananda Bhavan may not be the cheapest place in Little India for a South Indian snack, but it's really clean and the food is great. All of the food is 100% vegetarian (there are even signs on the walls about the benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle), but the food is so yummy you won't notice the absence of meat. I always get the Mysore Dosa ($5) which is like a masala dosa but with an extra chili/cashew sauce spread inside the dosa - so good. Of course, the dosas come with 3 chutneys. I'm also a fan of the idli (rice / lentil cakes) here. Most places only serve them during breakfast hours, but Ananda Bhavan serves them all day. I think they're 2 for $2.50 or so. The setting is a bit sterile (order at the front, like a fast food restaurant) but it's clean and the service is very good. The staff speak great English, and easily explained the difference between a Mysore and Masala dosa to me continue reading

One thing I really adore about indian food, is the way mock meat is served. It's never oily and most of my non-vegetarian friends always say it tastes like the real thing! except perhaps a healthier option. I decided to get a take away when I heard that they introduced Mock Mutton Biryani. I have always loved mock mutton as its tough on the outside but is chewy on the inside.My first time having this dish at this restaurant sent mixed signals but I was not disappointed. The rice that was used was basmati which were long grains; definitely one of my favorites because the rice does not stick. I also love the idea of how they put chunks of soya meat into the biryani. The soya chunks were cooked very well and tasted amazing! It had just the right amount of spicyness and was bursting with flavor.The portion was just right for me and I found the meal filling. It came with a container of kurma (curry) as well as raita (salad). The meal was also completed with a glass of lime juice which tasted pretty good.I would definitely be back again! continue reading

Have been indulging in lots of indian food lately.Dunno why but i've been craving for spicy food. I blame it on the weather Anyhoos, I was there because I needed to get my eyebrows done and we went to ananda bhavan for lunch. Shared a rava thosai with me cuzzie. The orange chutney that came with it was real good. In fact I had to ask them for more ;) the thosai tasted soooo crispy and good I tell you. Gosh, i think I'm craving for it again......This one's a MUST TRY!P/S: If u want thosai with potato stuffings,ask for rava masala! ;) continue reading
