About Tu Kab Khao
A restaurant in a more-than-hundred-year-old townhouse on Phang Nga Road, opposite the Shrine of the Serene Light, cooking Phuket home food rather than the standard Thai menu of the beaches. Most recipes come from the owner's mother; the name is the old food cupboard he was sent to as a boy. The rooms look grand — arched doorways, blue-and-white plates, black-and-white family photographs — but the bill is modest. Look for the giant lobster on the corner; open daily from 11:00.
