Places to find street food
You won’t even have to go looking for street food when in Phuket, it’s practically everywhere. However, be on the lookout for food carts close to the fresh markets at Banzaan behind Jungceylon. The food prices are inexpensive and menus are uncommon, so you may have to inspect the food to see if something catches your eye. Some vendors may not be able to converse in English, so you can gesture to what the others are eating.

Tom Yum Goong

Mee Hokkien Noodle
A simple and filling stir-fry noodle preparation that is big on taste. Thick and chewy egg noodles are tossed with prawns, eggs, pork, bean sprouts and calamari, and eaten with a chilli sambal and a sprinkle of fresh lime juice.
