Dive Into Phuket’s Top Dishes

We all know that Phuket is a food paradise. But only if you know what to order.
Skip the generic pad Thai. Go local.

Here’s the cheat sheet I wish I had my first trip:

1. Mee Hokkien

Thick noodles swimming in a savoury sauce.
Seafood? Always fresh.
Want it authentic? Hit up street-side stalls, not fancy spots.
Pro tip: If the cook’s sweating, the food’s probably worth it.

2. Roti with Curry

It’s not just breakfast; it’s a ritual.
Flaky, buttery roti dipped in spicy curry.
Look for the stall with the longest queue. Locals know where it’s at.

3. Gaeng Tai Pla (Fish Kidney Curry)

Yeah, I said kidney.
Sounds wild, tastes unreal.
It’s smoky, spicy, and unapologetically bold.
If you’re all about flavour, this one’s a must.

4. O-Tao

You’ve never had oysters like this.
Tiny ones cooked with taro, shrimp, crispy pork, and a punchy sauce.
One bite, and you’ll get why this dish has stuck around for centuries.

Phuket’s food isn’t just about filling up.
It’s about stories, culture, and those holy sht, this is amazing* moments.

My challenge to you?
Try one dish from this list on your next trip.

And when you do, reply to this email and tell me about it.
Because nothing’s better than swapping foodie wins with a fellow adventurer.

Stay hungry!
