Phuket (Thai: ภูเก็ต) lies off the west coast of mainland Thailand in the Andaman Sea and is the country's largest island. Phuket City, the capital of Phuket Province, is located in the southeast of Phuket Island, from where tourists can try genuine Phuket cuisine.
Phuket is a tourist city, so most restaurants have English menus. One page of the menu is "Popular Dishes", so if you have no idea what to eat, just order these.
Crab curry is the restaurant's most popular dish. The curry is incredibly delicious, it is a perfect match with rice noodles, although it is a bit spicy.
Crab meat fried rice is very tasty, the rice is dry and mixed with a lot of crab paste and crab meat.
Unexpectedly, the prawn tom yam is slightly sour but not spicy at all, perhaps the prawns are very fresh, the prawn flavor in the soup is very prominent.
Phuket Vegetables are rich in cellulose and taste similar to sweet potato leaves. They are full of salty aroma and unique flavor after stir-fried with Thai-style dried shrimps.
Steamed pork is a unique Phuket dish. The pork belly is steamed with Thai-style sauce. The pork is full of oil and delicious, good to eat with rice.
The restaurant provides free fruit. Although Thai green mango is not as sweet as Luzon mango, it is refreshing and relieves greasy, which is a perfect end to this delicious meal.
