| Phuket has a number of foods different in
character and flavour from those of other areas in Thailand. The international
character of the island, however, with so many different restaurants
catering to a multitude of tastes, makes it difficult for non-Thais
to identify Phuket cuisine. Below is a list of dishes and shops where
they can be sampled. |

Kanohm
Jin Phuket : Noodles often compared to spaghetti usually
 served
with a spicy curry sauce, the most common made from fish. It is usually
eaten as a breakfast food and is, if you can stand its fresh character,
delicious. It comes with an array of fresh vegetables and boiled eggs
that are mixed with the dish by dinners at their table. It is often
found with the fried pastry called Pah Tong Go and the curried fish
mousse called Hor Mohk, both of which are very tasty. Some of the
curries are not spicy, so try a shop that has many curries to choose
from if you are sensitive to spicy cuisine. There are many shops to
choose from everywhere in Phuket but the most famous are in Phuket
