Roti folds and a coconut-crepe pause

Make Phuket Town a day of small beginnings: roti with curry, a few coconut crepes, and a later shared meal at One Chun. The stops are close in the old-town area, but their serving times may differ. Let the main meal come when you are hungry again. Dishes below are suggested orders. Check current menus and hours.

Follow the suggested order, at your own pace.

A note from Maya Tan

At Roti Thaew Nam, choose one savoury curry pairing and tear the bread as you go. Keep a little crisp edge outside the sauce so the roti’s two textures remain clear. A sweeter roti can wait; the next stop already has coconut on its mind.

What I ordered

Phuket roti and curry

Ask which beef or chicken curry is available. Dip one fold at a time rather than soaking all the bread at once.

A note from Maya Tan

At A Pong Mae Sunee, buy a modest batch of coconut crepes to share while they are fresh. Leave space around the counter if you pause to watch the small woks. This is a little interval in the day, not another full breakfast.

What I ordered

Khanom a pong

Try the crisp rim and soft middle in the same bite. The coconut batter is enough reason to keep the order simple.

A note from Maya Tan

Save One Chun for a later seated meal. Ask about portion sizes and begin with rice and one shared main, adding a second only if the table wants it. Crab yellow curry and mu hong offer two quite different directions.

What I ordered

Crab yellow curry

Take a little curry with rice and ask about the heat before ordering. A smaller table may need only this main.

Mu hong braised pork

Compare the tender pork and its sauce with a plain spoonful of rice. Order it as an alternative or a shared second dish.

Directions to One Chun

Places change. Check current hours before a special detour.
