- Lovely spot to dine
45/40 Moo 1 Soi Ta-iad | Chalong, Phuket 83000, Thailand +(66) 089-792-7770 This place has 2 sister restaurants on the same road about a km away across from each other. Pure Vegan Heaven & Acai Café. Both are air-conditioned. The 3 have some crossovers and some menu differences. Less food options more drinks at Pure Acai Café. Open walled with fans. Clean Very friendly and helpful staff. When they heard my desire for whole grain breads they recommended other restaurants that might have it. Lacto-ovo-vegetarian, vegan & omnivore f I will get my rant out of the way before describing the delicious food I had: I had come to have a Falafel Burger only to be met by disappointment. No buns, bread or pitas made of whole grains to put it on. They contacted their “sister” stores and neither had whole grain breads. Why do so many restaurants that serve either vegan, vegetarian, or organic foods and claim to be healthy still use white flour?? Are they still in the dark ages? It has been known for years that, that fiber free crap does nothing but plug people up and has almost zero nutritional value. Don’t they know that many people who are coming to their restaurants are expecting to eat healthy food? Yes whole grains take more skill to work with and costs more. But why use that as an excuse to serve unhealthy food? Do they think as long as they don’t use meats, poultry and seafood in a menu item that anything else is fine? Yes many people just eat vegan or vegetarian because they are religious or they do not want to harm animals and some do not care about eating unhealthy foods. Yet a big percentage of us are eating this way for health. We don’t want refined grains, saturated oils, refined sugars, refined salts to name a few. Fortunately Pure Organic Heaven does use whole grain rice and quinoa. They did offer raw sugar for tea sweetener. I did not ask what type of oils they cook with or salt they use so my rant might not apply to them aside from the white flour. Orange, Pineapple, and Banana Smoothie 89B good Lemon, turmeric, ginger, honey, water 69B Great for my liver! Terrible for my taste buds! Health Freak Set 159B includes veggie omelet, micro greens, organic red rice and quinoa blend, garlic & turmeric aioli, salad > Omelet was yummy with lots of fresh veggies. The rice & quinoa blend was delicious & cooked perfectly, salad fresh & very good My companion had one of their “bowls”. At 179B they are great value whole meal “sets”.
