Loktien Restaurant, a collection of delicious Phuket food, is another restaurant in the old town area. Many restaurants choose to sell at tourist prices, decorating the restaurant beautifully to attract tourists to use the service. But Loktien, an old restaurant that has been selling for many decades, chooses to sell local food and other a la carte dishes at affordable prices. You can be sure that if you come to Loktien Restaurant, you will be able to taste almost all of Phuket's local food.
Whether it's Loba, Mee Hun, or Oh Aew, because this place is truly a center of local food.
The restaurant may not be decorated, it's a simple restaurant, but it has been open for a long time, like Chuan Chim Restaurant, Jee Nguat Restaurant, and other restaurants in the Phuket Old Town area.
Starting with the first dish, Hokkien fried Mee Hun. Mee Hun is similar to Khanom Jeen noodles, but slightly smaller and not as sticky. People like to stir-fry it with Chinese cabbage and meat. It can be stir-fried with everything, even seafood. For Loktien Restaurant, it will be stir-fried with pork, fish balls, shrimp, and squid.
The second dish, Loba. Hearing the name may sound strange, wondering what it is. Loba is a menu of pork intestines, pig ears, pig tails, cut into small pieces, plus tofu and cucumber as side dishes. It has a unique dipping sauce, which is not fresh chili vinegar like when eating boiled pig head, but a sweet sauce, leaning towards fried tofu dipping sauce, with ground peanuts.
As for Oh Aew, it is shaved ice topped with red syrup, with jelly and large red beans. The traditional way to make Oh Aew jelly is to use ripe bananas boiled with seeds of the betel palm family that have a mucus similar to basil seeds, which in those days had to be imported from Singapore or Taiwan. Sometimes they add grass jelly as well.
Suitable for eating to relieve the heat on hot days.
