Hor Mok Talay

Hor Mok Talay (Spicy Fish Mousse)

    Hor Mok Talay is not exactly a Phuket or Southern Thailand’s speciality, but the specific type and taste of Hor Mok you can find in Southern Thailand is Phuket style.

    Phuket View Restaurant on Khao Rang Hill

      Phuket View is another restaurant you must add to your list of ‘Dining with a View while in Phuket’. This dining venue sits for almost twenty years on top of Khao Rang Hill, one of the highest hills in Phuket Town.

      Jun Phen Isan Restaurant in Phuket Town

      Jun Phen Isan Restaurant

        Like most of the great restaurants serving excellent good old-fashioned Thai food in Phuket, Jun Phen didn’t bother much with the design.

        Mang Da Giant Water Bug in Phuket

        Mang Da Na – Giant Water Bug

          Mang Da looks like oversized, mutated cockroaches, but I can confirm that they’re not. They are called Mang Da Na in Thai, and apparently are the biggest kind of water bug there is. I think the English name is ‘Giant Water Bug’.

          China Inn Phuket

          China Inn Phuket Restaurant

            China Inn is a lovely little restaurant in the middle of Thalang Road, the historical street of Phuket Town. Everyone who walked down that street admired it, and most even took photos.

                Tam Sua Thai Dish Mixed Hardcore Salad

                Tam Sua – Mixed Hardcore Salad (only for the brave!!) :D

                  Tam Sua is a tough variation of the well-known Som Tam even though the word Tam Sua practically means ‘salad anything’. The dish looks pretty much like the photo above every time I order it. So what’s inside? Here’s my version of Tam Sua. You’ll find that it’s really similar to a Som Tam… for the brave!
