รานสมตำเมองคอน สะพานหน


รานสมตำเมองคอน สะพานหน is a restaurant that we choose to go to in Sapan Hin. At the current time Sapan Hin is a place which is predominantly used by the local Thai people and I cannot list how many times we have visited for I don't know how many different 
reasons.


The best reason for visiting รานสมตำเมองคอน สะพานหน is their Yam Pla Dook Fu (Thai catfish Salad) - the best in Phuket.


The restaurant itself serves you in the Traditional Thai way of sitting around a low table but there is also the opportunity to sit on a chair - we choose the traditional way.



As mentioned we always have the Catfish Salad so I could not tell you what else we have but it is all extremely cheap. It does taste good with a Singha...

Don't forget to visit the Chinese Shrine near by - Kiew Tian Keng

 

We have visited previously:

 1) March 2013 
 2) March 2014
 3) July 2014  

Approximate Price: $$$$$
Address: Sapan Hin (see the map)

Kong Kang (Crystal Wild Resort)



Kong Kang is a restaurant in the new hotel which was opened only a month ago - Crystal Wild Resort. The restaurant was very quiet (there was only one other table) which meant that there was very little atmosphere.


The menu was large enough for all of us, well there was a pizza for our daughter so that got the thumbs up. But like many other restaurants in Phuket the pizza was made from pre-packaged base and was inadequately defrosted and then cooked - the restaurant needs to be busy though. Re-cooked it passed my daughter's examination.


The Thai food was very nicely presented.



Then the rest of the dishes  matched the first ones. 


The chicken in pandanus leaves was very nice but a little oily - never mind for me and he mess that I made.


Not sure about the coffee - I think that the restaurant needs to be opened regularly a while before the quality of the coffee. We will go back though - good luck

ร้านแก้วใจ Food & Bakery - Kaewjai



ร้านแก้วใจ Food & Bakery is somewhere which is certainly a popular breakfast spot.


This is a small place to sit and the time spent there in the morning is not a casual place but the turnover is rather quick BUT the food is great (I am told by my wife) but I can vouch for the breakfast congee though!


I love to go there for the Sakoo Sai Moo - the best in a restaurant which I have entered in Phuket anyway. It is normally a dish which I see on the street but here is a recipe for it.



There are a number of other pastry dishes to choose from but I have not chosen them and have always stuck with the Thai dishes.



There is brown rice here as well, it is a choice which I do not see often in Phuket - yet.


 Here Kaewjai is on PlaceKnow.
