Meals run from lunch through dinner and centre on Southern Thai curries, noodle dishes and salads. Kanom jeen comes as soft fermented rice noodles under a fish curry sauce, and a salad bar of fresh and pickled vegetables sits alongside. Fried dishes arrive crisp with dipping sauce: the Had Yai fried chicken comes in golden pieces over a small salad, and a plate of crisp fried prawns is served with a sweet chilli dip. Vegetarian dishes are on the menu.

Southern Thai from an experienced chef
Uncle Chalio, the chef, has 38 years' experience, and the restaurant describes its food as original Thai Southern Style. Beyond kanom jeen, the house dishes named on the website include dry spicy curry pork and a mango salad. The menu also lists sweet items such as the pandan custard toast with Thai milk tea, so a meal can finish on something lighter than the curries.
