As self-confessed “regional Thai food freak”, Tom Parker Bowles wondered why he had missed this specialist in the food of southern Thailand, “where chilli, turmeric and shrimp paste (gapi) rule supreme”.
The unusual venue is run by Wichet Khongphoon, who hails from the southern province of Trang and is “a man of many talents. Hotelier. Florist. Chef. Restaurateur. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had a sideline in nuclear fission.”
Tom was more than satisfied with his meal, which was full of “heat and depth and heart and soul. And leaves the tastebuds craving more. This is cooking that makes the senses holler in lusty delight.”
