About Jongjit Kitchen

A plain family restaurant in Kathu that locals fill at lunch and dinner for its southern Thai cooking, now in the MICHELIN Guide. The family recipes are bold: the Phuket-style stir-fried pork rump with salt, tender meat with crackling skin, is the Guide's pick. Prices are low and dishes are made for sharing, so a table can order widely. It sits on a sharp corner of Wichit Songkhram Road without parking; look for the big mural of a girl in a red Chinese dress and a cat. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 11:00–19:00.

Also known as Krua Jongjit, Khrua Jongjit
