Family Seafood Restaurant, Karon, Phuket, Thailand

We did not know what to eat on the first night of our recent holiday in Phuket, Thailand. As our hotel was located near Karon, we drove to the Karon town. We stumbled on the Family Seafood restaurant which was a typical tourist Thai seafood restaurant with the seafood being displayed at the front and also the grilling of the seafood. It looked and smell good so we stopped there to have our dinner.

After ordering the dishes, we saw the owner grilling some glutinous rice. We asked her about this and she said it was a southern Thai dish and offered us some. It had a good aroma but no taste. You have to eat this some dishes or sauce but it is a carbo killer.

The owner allowed us to this local dish - grilled glutinous rice cake

A look at the restaurant

Our dishes arrived promptly. The kids were very hungry as usual and in no time, all the food was gone. The dishes were not bad.

Lakna, southern style

Fried rice with crabs

I am not sure whether we were hungry or it was the first meal in Phuket but it tasted extra nice. Imagine the cost, a whole Baht 1,300 (US$ 43) with drinks. How to complain? Wonder why we love Thailand?

Until the next time, cheers.
