After trying Nana Banana randomly, decided to try the Thai Farmer, which is near the Chili Club entrance.
It is smaller than Nana and the tables are close together.
This restaurant has never made me go in because it seems dark and old.
The theme and decorations of this place reminded me of RA CHA MOO YANG round the corner.

Sat down and there was a set lunch menu all priced at $50 which includes a drink, main and dessert.

Chose yellow chicken curry and hainan style chicken.

The soup was then placed at the table, which contained pieces of minced pork, carrots and wintermelon.
The soup tasted ok but slightly too salty.
The food arrived fairly quickly

Yellow chicken curry:
This contained potatoes, onions and chicken, it was very sweet with some coconut milk on top.
After a while, the curry went watery.

Hainan style chicken:
The rice and sauce tastes exactly the same as RA CHA MOO YANG.

Drinks:
Ordered iced lime and longan juice which are the same drinks offered at RA CHA MOO YANG.
Both tasted the same as RA CHA MOO YANG.
The longan juice was super sweet, whilst the lime juice was super sour.

Desserts:
This was super sweet, it was sago with red beans and sweetcorn.
The dessert bowl was cute, it is a miniature size and shape of the normal chinese rice bowl made of plastic.

Difference between Nana Banana and Thai Farmer:
Thai Farmer is cheaper and smaller.
However Thai Farmer is super noisy.
The air con is freezing as well! but colder at thai farmer.
Nana offers the green curry, whilst Thai Farmer offers the yellow curry!
