Many Mango


Many Mango is a popular shop for me because it is air-conditioned and serves mango.


It is in the heart of Phuket Old Town and it is referred to as a desert shop and serves mango!



Not more I can really say more and I could not find any more information...

Glass house - ลาว|ญวน


Glass house  ลาว|ญวน is a:
"Chic, classy Thai-Vietnamese Restaurant in the glasshouse hidden under the old raintree. This charming cuisine famous of northeast Thai and Vietnamese food. Perfect place for social gathering with friendly service, sipping selection of great wines in beautiful surrounding."



Glass house is something that looked good - so we tried it. It just on the outskirts of Phuket Old Town (see the map below) and near to the large bookshop.



It certainly looked trendy when you looked at the young people who were there. We chose to be outside - there is an option to sit inside in air-conditioning which looked very nice.



The menu's were certainly nice to read and photographs seemed to be real photographs rather than a standard clip art menu - that annoys me! 



Surprisingly the food also looked like the images on the menus - we were on a good roll...



Well we ate it all up and were surprised how good it was.
Where is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Phuket?


Phone Number: 076 232 429
Approximate Price: $$$$$
Address: Montri Rd Phuket Town - next to Sino House
Hours: 6:30 - 11:30

Khanomla - Streetfood




On making a visit to the Wat Chalong Temple Fair I was immediately excited to find that my favourite Roti Sai Mai was for sale here and it was delicious.

I was also introduced to this new one - Khanomla.


This was certainly fascinating to watch. The Chef had a large bowl which seemed to be a mixture of egg yolk and sugar. Hanging above this is a perforated can where the mixture is pouring out. The mixture dropped onto a large very hot wok and made a most beautiful pattern which would then peel off and then rolled together! The best way to see what happened next is to watch the video below.



It was certainly a skill and it tasted great! It was only when I saw it here that I found out some information on the web.

ก๋วยเตี๊ยวดู๋ดี๋


ก๋วยเตี๊ยวดู๋ดี๋ is a local noodle shop which seems to be very popular every time that we visit. There is always a street seller outside selling some sort of dish - today there was something different.



Is this dried snake skin or preserved fish?



I was told that I would not like it so I listened to my wife and chose not to have it as a starter but looked for something else. The food was not to my taste today - not even a quail's egg...



It was straight to the som tam... delicious - but I am not quite sure about the small crab though, do you like to eat it? I am told that it is the best bit. It was good Som



So it was straight to the bowls of noodles - this was my wife's noodles - seafood and meat, now this I am never quite sure of, I still like to keep my foods separate...


This was my bowl and it was great! I always choose the yellow noodles but you are able to choose the noodles which you would like. There were no Lod Chong Nam Ka Ti this time though, so next time...


Approximate Price: $$$$$

Address: 158/24 Yaowarat Rd., Phuket Town
