#100 Ways to Travel Address: 214, 7-8 Phuket Rd, Tambon Talat Yai, Muang, Phuket 83000 Thailand Atmosphere/Facilities: No air-conditioning, cash only, toilets available, local atmosphere Specialties: Fujian fried noodles, Tom Yum Goong noodle soup, Laksa pork skewers Price per person: 100 baht Rating: Near the famous landmark Surin Circle Clock Tower หอนาฬิกาวงเวียนสุรินทร์ in the old town of Phuket, there is an old Fujian noodle restaurant that even the locals recommend as delicious. It is a short distance from the old town. If you want to visit the old town, you can take a taxi first, eat a bowl of noodles, and then walk back to the old town streets along the roundabout. It takes about 10 minutes. Along the way, you can also see traces of the old Fujian Minnan cultural life in different old town areas and experience religious culture (especially during the Nine Emperors Fast). The first time I knew Hokkien mee was fried noodles but not in Thailand, the ingredients were mainly seafood and pork. At that time, I thought that Thailand only had Phat Thai (fried rice noodles). Later I found out that Phat Thai was created by the Thai government to promote rice products by combining the fried noodles in Chinatown with Thai noodles. Improve and develop the official menu of local Kuai Diao. The most common style of fried noodles is Fujian style. The first Hokkien noodles I ate in Thailand were fried spring onion dry noodles sold together with boat noodles. There are also pure fishball noodle shops that say Fujian noodles. After the integration of food cultures, there are really not so clear barriers. No. 1 Lin Kee Fujian Fried Noodles 70/80 Baht It looks thick and greasy at first glance, and the aroma of the sauce hits your nose when it is served. The ingredients are squid, pork, a half-boiled egg and some vegetables. The noodles are round and thick with a soft texture. The taste is salty-sweet, and it is recommended to mix it with a half-boiled egg for a better taste. The overall taste is similar to the fried noodles eaten in Shanghai alleys, but the texture is not as good as that in Shanghai. No. 4 Tom Yum Goong Noodle Soup 70/80 Baht This is the most recommended dish. The Thai spicy and sour shrimp soup with a hint of laksa flavor is very delicious. The seafood ingredients are very rich, and the noodles are soft but absorb the soup well. In the hot weather in Thailand, hot and sour food not only increases appetite but also relieves the heat. If you like spicy and sour taste, I recommend this dish. The waiter will serve two small plates of snacks on top of the soup noodles, one is a small onion shaped like a shallot (this is free), and the other is fried pork skin with 12 written on it, which is a paid dish. You can choose whether to take it or not. The fried pork skin and crackers taste great when dipped in the soup. You can try it. Small onions are simply a way to relieve greasiness. The most popular pork laksa was closed when I visited this afternoon, so I can only visit again next time. I don’t know if they were closed the next day because of the Nine Emperor Gods Festival or if they were sold out. Many stores in Thailand adopt a dual-stage business model. We both ordered 80 baht noodles thinking it would be a small or large bowl, but the servings were not that big either.
