Tucked away on Phuket’s serene eastern shore, Had Pleum Suk Restaurant isn’t just a dining spot—it’s a living scrapbook of local memories. Ask any Phuket native, and they’ll light up recalling childhood lunches here with family. While overlooked by many tourists and expats, this beachfront institution has quietly perfected authentic Siray Bay cuisine for generations.
Where Tradition Meets Untouched Beauty
Perched on the tranquil sands of Siray Bay, Had Pleum Suk offers a rare escape from the island’s bustle. Gaze over the untouched coastline as gentle waves set the rhythm for a meal steeped in heritage. Here, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication: no frills, just soul-warming flavors and Phuket’s most peaceful sea views.
Freshness Forged by the Bay
The secret? Hyper-local sourcing. Daily, fishermen from Siray Bay deliver their catch straight to the kitchen. Even land-based proteins shine—dishes like their famed grilled pork neck are marinated fresh each morning. This isn’t just cooking; it’s a tribute to Phuket’s bountiful waters and traditions.
Signature Dishes That Define Siray Bay
During our visit, these heritage recipes stole the show:
- Gaeng Som Pla Krapong (Sea Bass Sour Curry): Vibrant, tangy, and layered with house-made paste. The sea bass’s firm freshness elevates this southern classic.
- Pla Meug Kai Neung Manao (Steamed Squid with Chili-Lime Sauce): Perfectly textured squid with prized eggs, steamed in a zesty chili-lime broth that dances on the palate.
- Ko Moo Yang (Grilled Pork Neck): Tender, caramelized, and paired with jaew sauce, the roasted rice’s nutty aroma makes it irresistible.
- Pu Tod Kratiam (Crab Stir-Fried with Garlic): Sweet crab meat, wok-tossed with crispy garlic and chili – proof that simplicity lets quality shine.
