5 Recommended Foods at Rongpoon Night Market Hatyai
1.Som Tum (7 RM)
Sauteed to perfectly scalded edginess, this bold and zesty Thai dish features a perfect balance of tangy, sweet, spicy and to me, a favorite. It’s refreshingly delicious, and immaculately crunchy green papaya and all sorts of sides.
2. Banana Leaf Grilled Squid (10 RM)
Grilled fresh squid over charcoal and seasoned with the fragrant aroma of banana leaves. It’s tender and full of flavor and topped with spicy seafood dipping sauce.
3. Kung Thung (35 RM)
This is prawns juicy, drenched in a milk and creaming (yes, that is what the combination is called) rich sauce that brings the sweet, savoury and cream of it all together. A bucket served in corn and potatoes mixed and made into a fun and tasty dining experience.
4. Kha Moo Palo (18 RM)
Aromatic five spice sauce tender slow braise pork leg melts in your mouth. Just pairing with it with steaming hot rice will be the top comfort meal ever!
5. Thai Tea (3.5 RM)
A creamy, fragrant sweet milk tea with a rich orange bottom. Served cold, it’s perfectly refreshing!
