Yum Saap Thai Food Chain





The thing about travelling to a place that tourism is the main sector is that
there is a high chance that the place itself will lose all it's local flavour.
Just like Bali, its extremely difficult to find a decent local Thai Restaurant in Phuket.
There was even one bad day that after walking 30mins in the streets of Patong i have to resort in eating at a foodcourt.

Everytime i travel to a place, i prefer to eat what the country's own cusine.
But to my disappointment, Phuket has ALOT of Italian food and Western Food. But no Thai food.
Pizza, Pasta and Deli cafes/restaurant can be found at every 300metre in Patong.




So we had Thai fish cake, Seafood salad and Fried Chicken.
The fish cake is very nice and juicy. Dont look at how pale coloured the seafood salad is, actaully is very spicy.

I had tea break at Yum Saap on the 2nd day in Phuket.
Again i think this is the only Thai Food Restaurant in the entire BIG MALL.
The mall can be as big as Takashimaya.
Yum Saap is more like a Thai Fastfood chain.
It offers alot of spicy food and local delights.
I wish there were more such outlet in Phuket.
