Where can I find the shrimp wonton noodles in Phuket?
Many people say, I have an international stomach.
That’s right! I’m just that international.
However, no matter how international the world is, there will always be a few days when you will miss the taste of your hometown very much. What’s more, it’s Cecilia, who came from the most famous food province in China, and even fished in troubled waters as a food critic? Therefore, there are always a few days every month when I go away because I can’t eat my hometown food.
This went on for a long time until it happened.
In a foreign country, it is not easy to eat authentic hometown dishes, but this bowl of wanton noodles, which seems to be plain, has brought many surprises.
Gently scoop up a wonton and bite it open, and the whole fresh shrimp can no longer be hidden. Although the size of the prawns is not big, the umami taste is still enough. When half a fresh shrimp wonton entered my mouth, my tears were about to fall. That’s because the taste is so authentic! At that moment, I really thought I was on Baohua Road.
Soup has an extremely important position in Cantonese culture, even noodle soup is no exception. A noodle with good ingredients and light soup is destined to become a defective product in front of Cantonese. Nowadays, many noodle soups outside have MSG, which leads to an irreparable deviation in the taste of the whole noodle. And here, you can taste the taste of home.
Since it is wanton noodles, the main character—noodles must be indispensable. There are several types of noodles in Thailand, and I personally prefer egg noodles. Especially when eating shrimp wontons, egg noodles are a perfect match. Although not very springy (not Q), the noodles that have absorbed a lot of soup and their own light egg flavor make people want to stop.
I have always been curious, why the boss’s family can cook such authentic wanton noodles! After getting acquainted with each other, I found out that they are all new immigrants from Guangdong.
Therefore, in addition to fresh shrimp and wonton noodles, they also have various modified “Thai-style Cantonese dishes”. But my favorite is of course the shrimp wanton noodles!
Recommended degree: ★★★
Reason for recommendation: Although it is a small street shop with simple decoration, the noodles are very authentic and the price is super cheap (only 50 baht a bowl is sold on a 5-star beach like Bang Tao), suitable for long-term friends to try.
