[Mee Ton Poe, Phuket, Thailand] A long-established restaurant with a taste loved by locals

If you're looking for a relaxing, authentic experience in between sightseeing in Phuket, then you should definitely visit Mee Ton Poe, a long-established restaurant in Old Phuket Town.
Founded in 1956, this renowned restaurant has been loved by generations of locals and is gradually gaining popularity among tourists.
Here, you can savor the rich, fragrant noodle dish unique to southern Thailand.

👀Highlights✨

Their signature dish is "Mee Hokkien"🍜🔥
The restaurant's specialty is, without a doubt,
"Mee Hokkien (หมี่หุ้นผัดแห้งฮกเกี้ยน)" = Phuket-style Hokkien fried noodles!
• Chewy, medium-thick noodles
• Plenty of seafood, including shrimp, squid, and pork
• A rich dish stir-fried in a thick, sweet and spicy sauce

The rich flavor is addictive! 🧄🥢
The soft-boiled egg topping is also exquisite, melting smoothly in your mouth. Paired with the soup, it adds an even deeper flavor.

📷 If you're looking for something to impress your palate rather than Instagram-worthy, this is the place for you!
A warm and welcoming space where you can rub shoulders with locals😊🍽️
The restaurant has a very casual, down-to-earth atmosphere.
Even though it's located right in the middle of a tourist area, it's a place where you can encounter smiling locals and their everyday lives.
The walls are adorned with old photos and introductions to local dishes, creating a striking, retro yet nostalgic interior.✨
In addition to mee hokkien, the table is filled with Southern Thai dishes like kapi (shrimp miso) fried rice and spicy and sour soup.
Everything is reasonably priced, so you might find yourself ordering too much.

It's not just the taste that's popular! 🌴💛
Mee Ton Poe is so beloved because, while not flashy, it offers a timeless sense of security.

There's a large linden tree (tong po) outside the restaurant, and the scene of locals eating and chatting beneath its shade remains unchanged to this day.

Escape the hustle and bustle of the tourist scene and enjoy a moment of being a part of the town, rather than just a tourist.
