Tu Kap Khao – Spicy Southern food in the old town atmosphere of Phuket

#PhuketTravel 🌴 Tu Kab Khao – Spicy Southern Food in the Old Town of Phuket 🌴 If you come to Phuket and think of authentic southern food that both Thais and foreigners talk about with one voice, one of the restaurants that you must not miss is "Tu Kab Khao", a famous restaurant located in an ancient building in the middle of Phuket Town. The atmosphere is warm and classic with a little vintage feel, like eating in your grandmother's house but elevated to look charmingly modern. 🌿 The menu that I tried today is the most intense southern food: Crab curry with betel leaves: Firm crab meat with rich coconut milk curry, fragrant with southern curry paste that you have to slurp it all up. Stir-fried pork with shrimp paste: The smell of shrimp paste is just right, not too strong, well-rounded flavor, great with rice. Stir-fried shrimp with stink beans: Large fresh shrimp stir-fried with stink beans, spicy and authentic southern flavor. Stir-fried morning glory with eggs: A basic menu that the restaurant makes very well, stir-fried until soft, fragrant with eggs, not too oily. ✨ Overall, I was impressed with both the rich and spicy taste like the original recipe and the atmosphere that makes the meal even more special. If you are visiting Phuket and want to experience the authentic taste of southern food in a story-telling atmosphere, “Tu Kap Khao” is the answer. #Tu Kap Khao Phuket #Phuket restaurants #Phuket
