Wonder along walking street and you’ll find a little restaurant focusing on roti, by the name of Roti Mina. This same restaurant doesn’t really cook your ‘classic Thai’ favourites like Phat Thai very well so stay away from those. What it does do well is a range of Southern dishes, which are hard to find elsewhere on the island.
First up is their deep fried clam omelette. Powerfully rich little clams, encased in a crispy egg based batter, are refreshed by the greenery of spring onions and the crunch of beansprouts, brought together by a sharp, sweet chilli dip. Good stuff.
Second is a special request from their menu – you will see a dish with a name which resembles “Beef/chicken fried with Southern-Style chilli paste” – get this but ask for prawns (goong in Thai) instead. The result is below. Simple, clean flavours, with a slight chilli and curry-esque aromatic hit.
