Good food doesn't have to be expensive, and expensive food doesn't necessarily mean it's good. Even if you live in Bangkok and eat sushi, pizza, shabu, or cheesy dishes, you'll never forget your hometown food like chili paste, fish curry, fried mackerel with cat rice, or your mother's fried egg rice. They say that food is proof of love, and it must be true. The food at home is always the best because the people at home put their love into the food. That's why we can never forget the food made by our mothers or grandmothers.


My hometown is in Phatthalung. Every time I go back home, I can't help but eat first. I go back to the countryside, leave the mall, walk around the market, and return to the food of the villagers in Phatthalung. Change the atmosphere for your mouth, change the taste for your tongue, and get ready to #Change your stomach to a belly No need to ask what to eat when you visit Phatthalung What's delicious?

001. Caramelized Hog Plum

Is that right? This is the Hog Plum, also known as Bengal Currant, coated in sugar (also known as Honeycomb Plum). Each slice costs 10 baht (even popcorn can't compete).


002. Maedang's Banana Chips

Maedang's banana chips have been around for as long as I can remember. They're the best banana chips in the world, and they always make a great gift.

3. Boiled Peanuts (A Classy Snack)

Growing up, we were teased for taking off our shoes before entering 7-Eleven. In Phatthalung, the 7-Eleven staff wouldn't ask, "Would you like any additional dumplings or steamed buns?" Instead, they would say, "Would you like some boiled peanuts or steamed dumplings?" Now, 7-Eleven sells boiled peanuts, leading to speculation that the marketing team might be from Phatthalung.

:)
When visiting Phatthalung, don't miss the opportunity to try boiled beans. These are a type of bean called "Thua Rang," which are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The round, purple beans are a real treat, bursting with flavor.


4. Coconut Cake
Flour, coconut, coconut milk, wrapped in palm leaves, grilled over hot charcoal, fragrant, delicious, I don't want to leave you.


5. Rice Noodles
Waking up early in the morning, the locals here must eat a plate of rice noodles (ขนมจีน) for 10 baht, which will keep them full until noon (with this quantity and quality, it would cost 30-40 baht per plate in Bangkok). As soon as they wake up, they eat it. The rule that breakfast should be light is non-existent in the minds of people in Phatthalung. For southern people, spicy food and rice noodle soup help them wake up from their slumber, and they look forward to waking up to eat rice noodles every morning.

Side dishes for Khanom Jeen:

  1. Seasonal vegetables
  2. Boiled coconut milk with banana stem, morning glory, and taro shoots (our favorite!)
  3. Pickled vegetables, usually made with green papaya and mustard greens.

Or eat it with stinky beans.
Popular opinion: Stinky bean berries, a local variety, can be found in high plains, mountain ridges, and cliffs. They are popularly eaten with chili salt or paired with ice cream, cake, yogurt. They can be eaten fresh, pickled, boiled, stir-fried, curried, or fried, and they will be fragrant and delicious in the blink of an eye (right?).
Properties: Helps reduce the symptoms of smelly urine and helps make the urine smell fresh and fragrant. Reduces the smell of urine. Aromatherapy. Reduces the use of lemongrass in the bathroom. Oh my, the scent of Madame is fragrant and refreshing.

6. Fried Chicken with Sticky Rice

This dish features authentic Southern-style fried chicken, prepared without batter or dipping sauce. The key to its flavor is the fragrant aroma of fried shallots. The chicken is served with hot sticky rice, creating a delightful combination of textures and flavors.

7. Khanom Krok

This traditional Khanom Krok is made purely from rice flour and coconut milk. It's best enjoyed hot, dipped in palm sugar syrup, especially on a rainy day when the air is cool. This is different from the "royal" Khanom Krok, which has fillings like taro or corn. While both are delicious, I personally prefer this simpler version. (Of course, taste is subjective!)

8. Roasted ginkgo nuts
Similar to roasted chestnuts, they are delicious when roasted and eaten hot, but the shells are much harder than chestnuts. However, do not crack the shells with your teeth, as you may break a tooth without realizing it.


9. Fried mushrooms from Na Nod
Fried mushrooms that were sold by the roadside behind the train station now have a package sold in 7-11.

10. Fried Champedak

Champedak resembles jackfruit but is sweeter, softer, and has a stronger odor. It is commonly eaten fresh or fried like banana fritters. In Bangkok, it is sold for 20-30 baht per seed, which is quite expensive. At home, we eat it in large quantities.

11. Khanom Chang / Chang / Sang

This dessert is made from sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves into a triangular shape and tied with string. It is then steamed. People in Bangkok enjoy it with syrup and ice as a sweet treat, while people in Phatthalung prefer to dip it in palm sugar.


12. Num Ju Jun
A deep-fried snack made from flour and sugar, with a crispy edge and a soft center. A popular snack among the people of Lamphun, often eaten as an alternative to potato chips, Lay's, or cornflakes. Each piece costs 5 baht.

13. Khao Fang Rice Cake

This dish remains shrouded in mystery, with its preparation methods lost to time. However, one thing is certain: its deliciousness is undeniable. Sadly, finding this treat is becoming increasingly difficult.

14. Deep-fried red batter-coated meatballs
Red batter can be used to deep-fry anything, from sausages and meatballs to squid (personally, I love deep-fried red batter-coated squid tentacles the most). You can even find them for five baht a stick.

15. Bii Hoon

This dish is a favorite of my father's. The noodles have a rich, creamy texture, thanks to the coconut oil they are stir-fried in. They are then sprinkled with grated coconut and drizzled with liquid sugar. Wrapped in banana leaves, they are sold for 5 or 10 baht per packet. I could easily eat 10 packets myself! After licking the banana leaf clean, I'd be ready for a nap.

16. Sticky Rice Dumplings with Monkey Curry

This dish is incredibly rare and difficult to find. The dumplings are filled with sticky rice, similar to Khao Lam (bamboo sticky rice), but they are not cooked in bamboo. The entire dumpling is edible and incredibly delicious.

17. Tok Khong
Beat the movie theater popcorn, beat the popcorn

18. Triangular Grilled Sticky Rice

This street food, once sold for only one or two baht, is now priced higher. It consists of sticky rice wrapped in a banana leaf into a triangular shape and then grilled. Sometimes it includes peanuts, and sometimes it doesn't.

19. Gaeng Hoi Jub

This dish offers a unique and challenging culinary experience. Its name, "Gaeng Hoi Jub," translates to "Jub Snail Curry," and its flavor is described as "jub jub," suggesting a subtle and delicate taste. The dish is also noted for its rarity, with the word "jub" repeated multiple times to emphasize its scarcity.

When consuming Gaeng Hoi Jub, it is recommended to suck the snails directly from their shells, which is said to strengthen one's breath control. This practice adds an element of interactivity and engagement to the dining experience.


20. Khanom Sakoo Pakee Pakkhlong
This shop became famous after being featured on the Pak Talad Sanam Pao TV show. The highlight is that their khanom sakoo is made from real sago palm.


21. Khanom Kho
A sweet Thai dessert made with rice flour, palm sugar filling, and coated in shredded coconut. The palm sugar filling is particularly delicious.

22. Yum Rice

This dish is likely well-known and can be found at any market. It is a rice salad, not to be confused with the word "disgrace" in Thai.

23. Lingzhi Mushroom

This mushroom grows on decaying trees. It may sound unbelievable, but it's true! You can find it in the forest, and yes, it's edible. It makes a delicious spicy curry with grilled fish.

24. Khanom Pum

I don't know how to make it, my mom never made it at home. I buy it from the market, haha. It's delicious.


25. It's a Taro Ordination

This dish is neither a taro nor a yam. It's a rare find, a combination of purple taro and yam. I don't know what it is, but it's delicious. That's all I know.


27. Mildly Sour Mango
This mango is light in weight, but its sourness is no joke! Dip it in fermented shrimp paste and you'll be saying "wow, that's spicy!"

28. Sticky Rice with Durian

This dish is a personal recipe of my mother and is not available for purchase in the market. If you wish to try it, you will need to purchase durian and ask my mother to prepare it for you.


29. Kai Ghor
Grilled chicken coated in a vibrant orange sauce, offering a unique appearance and a delightful aroma. Ten skewers are not enough!

30. Sticky Rice with Coconut

This dish is a rare find, offering a sweet and creamy treat.


31. Fried Le Noi Fish Roe
Fish roe mixed with eggs, fried into hot, fragrant sheets. Even caviar can't compete!

:)

32. Spicy Curry with Snakehead Fish

This dish is a true hidden gem, enjoyed by those who truly appreciate authentic flavors. The snakehead fish adds a unique texture and richness to the spicy curry, making it an unforgettable culinary experience.


33. Khanom Look Chod
Made from fresh Asian palmyra palm fruit, steamed and served hot. It is very delicious.



34. Phatthalung Milk
How many provinces have their own brand of milk? Songkhla and Nakhon Si Thammarat have to admit defeat. Come to Phatthalung and try it. I've been drinking Phatthalung milk since kindergarten. It's so delicious!


35. Deep-fried Tofu with Sweet Soy Sauce
This dish is not commonly found in the capital city. It consists of hot tofu, soft-boiled eggs, deep-fried rice noodles, and deep-fried shrimp, served with a sweet soy sauce dipping sauce.


36. Spicy Salad with Wild Fern Shoots
Fresh wild fern shoots, hand-picked from the riverbank, are tossed with toasted coconut and served with fresh, succulent shrimp. A true delight!

  1. Khanom Thuai / Khanom Hang Ching Chok


38. **Crispy Coconut Rolls**
We love the chewy, black, sugar-coated ones. The chewy dough coated in sweet sugar is something even donuts have to admit defeat to.


39. Sprouts
Young bean sprouts can be eaten as a vegetable or stir-fried. It's easy and convenient.


40. Ice Shavings
Traditional ice shavings, a childhood favorite.


41. Boil


42. Auntie Kob's Meatballs
A must-try for high school students before the era of smoky bites. Choose your desired level of doneness for the meatballs and dip them in the crunchy peanut sauce. Enjoy them hot off the pan, reminiscent of childhood days. They used to cost three baht a stick, but how much are they now?
Auntie Kob is still selling, but she has moved from behind the fresh market to the side of the market instead.


43. Pickled star gooseberry and pickled gooseberry
The smell isn't great, but the taste is amazing!

44. Pickled Fruit Juice Shop

After a hearty meal, quench your thirst with a refreshing pickled fruit juice. Choose from a variety of fruits like starfruit, longan, lychee, and more. You can even try our unique creation: red Fanta with pickled starfruit topping.

This type of pickled fruit juice is unlike anything you've seen before. We highly recommend trying it. It's incredibly refreshing and has been a personal favorite for a long time. Whenever I miss the last bus, I always wait for my dad at this shop while enjoying a delicious drink.

45. Stir-fried Morning Glory with Cockles and Squid

This dish features blanched morning glory served with cockles, squid, and a sweet and sour dipping sauce sprinkled with crunchy roasted peanuts. While the combination of ingredients may seem unusual, it creates a surprisingly delicious and addictive flavor. This is a popular dish among locals in Phatthalung, and anyone who hasn't tried it is considered out of the loop! (The roasted peanuts at this restaurant are also delicious.) This is a casual eatery where you can enjoy a consistently good meal without getting bored.

46. Boiled Stink Bean

Who would have thought that the pungent stink bean, when boiled, could become such a delicious snack? The taste is like a combination of chestnut, potato, and something indescribable. It is best enjoyed with grated coconut mixed with sugar and a pinch of salt. This dish is extremely rare because boiling stink beans requires a specific technique. If not boiled properly, the food can become poisonous. This delicious treat is therefore difficult to find.

47. Salted Striped Catfish

Crispy fried salted striped catfish, drizzled with fresh lime juice, served with chopped fresh chilies and shallots, and eaten with rice. This dish is so delicious, you won't realize you've finished a whole pot of rice until it's gone!

While the sight of the coconut weevil's larvae may be unappealing, its taste is surprisingly addictive. Its rich, buttery flavor lingers on the tongue, making it a delightful treat whether eaten raw or cooked.
