Your Favorite Restaurant In Phuket

[Zpete]

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!

Just back from Phuket, here my choises for eating venues:

Italian food: Kata, la Capannina da Mario, every meal is a pleasure. Phuket Town: Salvatore. Tried a new place in Kamala: Basilico (it also has a small hotel nearby) and both pizza and pasta dishes were good.

Thai food: Kan Eang (both of them), The Seahag in Patong, Mama Noi in Kata and a place on the beach road in Rawai that do a fabolous roasted pork (cannot remember the name).

Ciao,

Annetta

I often pop down to Rawai nite market, walk around feeding face.

The flies there, on fresh meat and fish are horrendous.

Not dead yet, so cooked stuff is OK. Some is absolutely moorish.

[phuketrichard]

there is also a night market with cooked thai dishes here in kamala on friday eve. across from Fantasy.

Thai prices ( each dish less than 30 baht) which is all thai food should cost!!!

PS the sea hag is great food I agree. ON soi Post office in patong right hand side

Huggybear,

Soi Sansabai in The Yorkshire Inn.

The Islander In Soi Patong Resort, off Bangla,

I was curious regarding where people who are on the Forum, eat.

When I go to Phuket I eat in the above two places.

See you there after this year's Chinese New Year then.

Yours truly,

Kan Win

I'm with you phuketrichard.

Why would people come to Phuket and eat at Molly Malone's, Scruffy Murphy's, The Green man, et al? Spend a whole bunch of money to sit in an English/Irish pub and be overcharged for bland food? I'll never understand. O.K., if you live here and need a touch of home, understood. But tourists?

Let me see, on the beach at Rawai at waterside, under the stars, for clams, fresh fish and spicy Thai food, or in a dingy wannabe English pub grubbing greasy chips.......hmmmmmm, boy that's a tough decision.

ahem...you will find that many people posting on this thread have been living here for quite a while.

for spaghetti, i like Farang restaurant. they have one on the corner behind index in kathu, and another one in cherng talay - close to Lady Pie. very good food at great prices. pasta dishes are around 90thb, they have desserts (cheesecake, pecan pie) too which are yummy. the owner, Kit, used to be the chef at Kuppa in Bangkok.

for thai food there is a little place up on sainamyen road, i dunno the name, so you just have to follow these directions: drive up sainamyen rd away from the beach. go past nanai road and follow the bends through. there is a 7/11 and pizza place on the left and its just after there. they have big green blinds down when they are closed. when open, its plastic bendy chairs, basis plastic covered tables, but man.....is that food good! i dont think the restaurant has a name but if you find it, you will be very happy. all my thai friends say its the best thai food in patong, and friends from bkk or elsewhere say its the best thai food around.

Why would people come to Phuket and eat at Molly Malone's, .....

Cuz Molly's has some decent food, good sized portions and its fairly clean? I often pick up some chicken satay or spicy rice from them. I can feed 4 hungry Thais and 1 fat falang on 2 takeaways for under 400B. They make it as spicey as you want if you ask the waitress. Plus they're super nice. Sorry, but I like the joint and it's a refuge for me after I run the gauntlet of tuk tuk drivers and the same guy that's been trying to sell me a hammock since last November.

I found a nice seafood place across from the Paradise complex (U know the place, its where there are like 7 seafood restaurants all occupying that stretch where they grab you as you walk by.) I really enjoy the food at Nooks. They don't grab you. The boss lady is Nook (she has dyed red hair so you can't miss her) and she runs a tight place with fast service and fresh seafood. Keeps her clients very happy. Not expensive. If my finicky friends who require 1/2 kg of hot sauce & chili on everything can eat it without calling it falang swill, I reckon it's good.

You forget that most people here aren't "traveling".

unless they live in Phuket, they are "traveling" and tourists :-)

But what dif if they are, ur in thailand u want eat bland English food at english prices?? Mi Kow Jai

Chicken saty from Molly's and u think ur getting a good deal wow.

Maybe i am missing something here.

The only food I eat in Patong is at the k hotel for great Austrain food and big plates and YES expensive, ( european prices)

other than that there is best fried take away chicken on the the main road towards the beach in Patong (rather than turning down Rat-U-Thit) that goes towards the turn off to Kalim. ON the left side you can't miss it.

Also on the road between Kalim and kamala after the big turn on the beach side. Cliff side and great Larp gai and Larp Pet and somtom. Greta place to sit overlookig Patong bay away form the crowds of tourists

#6 across from The C&N on 200 year road.

Geow teow nam gai, sen lek, a big bowl for 55thb.

Nothing like a good ol bowl of chicken noodle soup to fill a guy up !!! Don't forget a big scoop of the red pepper spice.

Folks don't all have the same preferences, For sure, some people don't care for the chicken on a stick, but I reckon there will be a few people out there who aren't into street vendor food and want something light and tasty. What works for some, obviously won't work for others. I think the thread here is intended to come up with suggestions that people can look at at and se if it interests them. At the end of the exercise, no one is making us eat anywhere, it's just suggestions and I got a few out of here that I'm going to try. So the thread works for me. BTW, it's a deal for me if I don't get diarhea, ok? My heart may have gone thai, but my GI tract is still very western.

[melbat]

Try 'FATTIES' just past and opposite Land & House Park . It's a German restuarant and the food is wonderful and must be the best value for money around.

[vanalli]

Why can't people eat different types of food from different places from one day to the next, just like they do back home? I don't know, I eat Thai food, Japanese food, Indian food and -- heaven forbid -- I sometimes eat Western food. I eat happily and don't spend much money for the privilege.

Tell the hammock fella you have no trees in your garden.

I have a policy I stick to rigidly - pester me and you'll never get my business. Why the authorities allow the levels of pestering is quite beyond me.

[donna]

i agree, but when i have friends from overseas, i usually take them to the paradise places just as they are easy. i do hate the pestering, however, and wish they wouldnt do it. drives me crazy. normally i stick to that policy too but sometimes i go against it.

[Zpete]

I come to LOS for all its enchantment.

Food is just a small part of my enjoyment here.

I eat all types of food, no matter what country style cooking.

Gee, imagine going to Australia and eating 'wichetty grubs' all the time.

NZ, eating puha and pakeha......

Icelandic Eskimo delite, chewing on whale blubber.

Korea for dawg stew.

......and you thought that was chicken in Beijing.

I bet ya don't.

Get a life, eat wot ya feel like, <deleted>.
