While you are completely taken in with the mountainous landscape, the forests and the beaches, the local cuisine doesn’t lag behind in terms of captivating tourists either.

Ingredients used

All the flavours and aromas of Phuket food come down to one main ingredient, which is coconut milk. The other widely used ingredients are cloves, cumin, aniseed and turmeric – the cuisine is highly influenced by Chinese cuisine.

Breakfast

While at a Phuket resort, if you are ordering breakfast, you are bound to get served noodle-based dishes like Ka-Nom Jiin, Mee Suo and rice-based dishes like Kao Yam.

Lunch

If you choose the likes of Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, you can order Mee Hun Ba-Chang which makes for a slightly heavy lunch; but if you want something light, a dish like Poh Pia Sod would be a suggestion.
