Verinton’s Restaurant
You will find this place in what the locals term ‘China town’, this is the road leading out of Thongsala towards Ban Tai that has many hardware shops on either side. With the pier on your right and the 7/11 on your left continue straight on and keep an eye out for this place on the left.
When I asked the owner, Song Youth, what the name of the place was he just laughed, it seems he has never bothered giving it a name, indeed most of us just know it as ‘the kow moo daeng place’. When pushed, still laughing he points at his daughter, Verinton and says ‘her place’.
The food here is a complete bargain, usually less than 50 Baht for a meal including a coke. Song Youth speaks fairly good English, so he will be able to tell you what’s available. I recommend the kow moo daeng and the kow ka moo, both very tasty…..
When ordering anything with pork you can request that the fat be cut off, otherwise you will be served a portion of both meat and fat, but it’s very tasty fat!
Most meals are served with a small bowl of thin soup, tasting surprisingly better than it looks. Another favourite is soo ki, which is a noodle soup with egg, you can choose either chicken or pork, very filling!.
If you are after a bargain lunch, this place is probably the best on the island, indeed the amount of locals you will find eating here testifies to this.
