This carb-heavy journey around the island\u2019s historic Old Town takes in all manner of meaty Thai classics, embracing Indian, Malay and Chinese tastes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You\u2019ve got to admit \u2014 authentic Thai food isn\u2019t the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of Phuket<\/a>. Sure, the beaches are pretty and the\u00a0cabarets are entertaining, but for the foodie traveler there\u2019s nothing more disappointing than sitting down at a swanky seaside table, and finding the \u201clocal meal\u201d to be a boring, watered-down version of Thailand\u2019s legendarily fiery cuisine.<\/p>\n

As in any other tourist-savvy destination, many restaurants in Phuket\u2019s resort areas have learned to adapt their food to Western tastes. It\u2019s not their fault, really \u2014 that\u2019s tourism for you \u2014 but you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a properly spicy bowl of gaeng kiaw wan<\/em> green curry at hotspots like Patong or Kata Beach. To sample the true native cuisine in these parts, you have to get away from the coast: hop aboard any of the songtheaw<\/em> (a vehicle akin to the Pinoy jeepney) and head for the island\u2019s capital, Phuket Town.<\/p>\n

Long before the backpacker hordes<\/a> and planeloads of tourists, Phuket was already a crossroads where Thai and Malay natives mingled with the Chinese and Indian merchants who eventually settled on these shores. From this mix of cultures came the multifarious flavors that now comprise Phuket\u2019s own cuisine. Despite the tourism development in the island, the old quarter has thankfully retained much of its local charm, with everyday life on the island at its busiest. Here, amid the maze of streets lined with centuries-old mansions and small, family-run shops, you can find genuine ahan pak<\/em> Thai, or southern Thai cuisine.<\/p>\n

To jumpstart your tastebuds, saunter down to the corner of Thalang and Thepkasattri roads, where a pair of eateries literally whip up Indian Muslim-inspired treats. Located next door to each other, Aroon<\/strong> and Abdul\u2019s<\/strong> (Talat Yai, Mueang Phuket District) both offer roti<\/em> \u2014 crispy, chewy flatbreads tossed by hand and fried on a griddle.<\/p>\n

You eat it with your fingers, but not before dipping it into a bowl of thick, orange massaman curry. If this combo sounds a tad too plain, ask for the\u00a0mataba<\/em> \u2014 it\u2019s the Thai take on the Indian murtabak, which throws in slices of beef or chicken inside a layer of roti dough. The roti\u2019s sweet taste, coupled with the full-flavored curry, makes for an intriguing introduction to rot chaad pak <\/em>Thai (southern Thai tastes). The starters (yes, those were only starters) are finished, but don\u2019t move on yet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next on the menu at these restaurants is a pair of contrasting rice dishes. On one side is khao mok gai<\/em> \u2014 a heavy-on-the-mouth delicacy\u00a0of rice cooked in chicken stock and Malabar masala, and served over chicken, fried shallots and spring onions. This is Thai-style biryani<\/em>, as evidenced by the tangy lemongrass notes that are absent in the original Indian recipe. The lighter alternative is khao yam<\/em> \u2014 a rice salad that boasts heaps of beansprouts, makrut lime leaves, chopped cabbage, long beans, chillis and shredded coconuts in a tangy, creamy budu<\/em> fish-sauce dressing. There\u2019s no meat on this staple, but it\u2019s tasty and filling enough to be the main course.<\/p>\n

A glass of freshly squeezed lime juice should clear your palate, and then you\u2019re ready to move on to the next food spot. From Thalang Road, take a right turn into Phuket Road and walk a few minutes down to where another rice combo dish awaits: Hainanese chicken rice was brought here centuries ago
\nby Chinese immigrants, and it\u2019s the house specialty at Kota Khao Mun Kai <\/strong>(16-18 Soi Surin Montri). Theirs is the Thai version, of course, which features the familiar tender braised chicken and broth-boiled rice that\u2019s accompanied by a more intensely spiced dish of garlic, chilli, ginger and soy.<\/p>\n

You can also thank China for the great variety of noodle dishes on local menus. Here in Phuket, one of the favorites is the Hokkien mee \u2014 that\u2019s yellow egg noodles topped with a pile of shrimp wontons, fish balls, chicken bits and ngoh hiang<\/em> pork strips. Whether eaten as a soup or as a \u201cdry\u201d dish, this delectable hodgepodge of chunky, chewy and savory ingredients will leave you wanting more. Ko Yoon Noodle Shop<\/strong> (6 Ranong Rd) is a good place to sample this delicacy. However, there\u2019s a close rival to Hokkien mee \u2014 Cantonese wanton mee, which is served with a smile at the circa-1949 Peh Teow Noodle House<\/strong> on the corner of Dibuk and Satun roads. Also made with egg noodles, it\u2019s a simpler but no less tasty a air comprising fish balls, wonton and slices of bright red char siew pork (moo daeng<\/em> in Thai).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But if you order only one dish in Phuket, make it khanom jeen<\/em>. This concoction of springy rice noodles and coconut curry is a classic pak<\/em> Thai recipe that\u2019s been embraced throughout the kingdom. Khanom Jeen Pa Mai<\/strong> (Satun Rd, just opposite Peh Teow Noodle House) is arguably the best in town with its mouthwatering Siamese buffet. From its main table you pick up a plate of noodles, then help yourself to a line-up of curries. Among others, there\u2019s the classic (and yes, authentic) green curry, along with the \u00fcber-spicy nam ya<\/em> fish curry and a relatively tame red beef curry. You chow down on your selection with a basket of greens, along with an accompanying array of trimmings like fried fish, pickled mustard, tod man pla<\/em> fishcakes and chicken drumsticks.<\/p>\n

After this massive meal, a few native tidbits should end your eating adventure on a sweet note. You can amble down to nearby Krabi Road<\/strong>, where a pair of friendly old ladies sell home-made khanom<\/em> sweets. These coconut- and rice-based goodies sell for THB10-15 apiece, and go well with the syrupy-sweet, sock-brewed local boran<\/em> coffee, which is available from streetside hawkers just a few meters away at the Ranong Market<\/strong> (Ranong Rd).<\/p>\n

Incidentally, this bustling center of commerce is where you take that songtheaw<\/em> back to the tourist beaches. But with food this good, do you really want to go back there?<\/p>\n
