MK Gold Restaurant in Phuket, Thailand

We travel to Thailand very often and in many instances will eat at MK Restaurant which is a Thai suki chain. However, we have not eaten at the MK Gold restaurant before which is the premium sister of the MK chain.

The restaurant in Phuket is located at the Jungceylon shopping mall located on Patong beach which is not far from our hotel.

Thai suki is very popular in Thailand and there are many different outlets but MK is the largest. You can find them practically in all malls and shopping areas. It is basically steamboat with their special chilli sauce.

The entrance of the restaurant. Nice decor.
Not ID is not bad.
MK is also famous for its roast duck
Apart from the suki, they have also a large variety of cooked dishes as well. This include roasts, fried noodles and rice and other cooked dishes.

Dishes for the Thai suki
One type of sea weed

An unusual seaweed
We ordered a number of dishes for the suki which included a few types of seaweed. All these were served quickly and stacked up as seen in the photo above. In the photo below, we ordered some rice and they served us multi grain rice made in a pyramid shape. Something different.

Pork ham to add to the suki

Different types of rice and grains. All pretty.
One must have dish is the green noodles, they are delicious. You can eat it as it is or just blanch in hot water for a few seconds. Just add the chilli sauce....yummy.

The essential green noodles

Lots of vegetable too.
The good part about suki (and in Thailand) is that you can have lots of vegetable and cheap too. Of course at the end, the soup in the soup is real delicious.

The suki and the delicious soup
Dining in MK is always nice but the prices in the Gold restaurant is much higher than the normal MK. One would expect to pay extra by at least 30% just for the ambience. While some items are not available at the normal MK, most are. So, if you are willing to pay for ambience, go for it but if not, the normal MK is more than sufficient. The above meal cost us about Baht 2,000.

Until the next time, cheers.
