About Kin-Kub-Ei

A family kitchen on Si Sunthon Road, between Choeng Thale and Thalang, that cooks the southern Thai dishes its owners grew up with. The menu is short and follows the market, so part of it is the cook's choice of the day; crisp local fish with a sour curry paste is the dish the MICHELIN inspectors single out. It holds a Bib Gourmand for good cooking at a fair price. Tables sit in a shaded garden and a renovated dining room; it opens Wednesday to Sunday, from noon to early evening, and a table should be booked by phone.
