Botan Boutique Hotel

After a decade as a musician with a side gig of cooking for bandmates, these days Somphop finds himself enjoying daily walks through the market for fresh catches of the day and hand-cutting them for various southern Thai dishes served at his small, casual restaurant. Braised fish in salted soybean sauce; prawns with salted eggs and acacia; and wok-fried pork featuring the tender, succulent ‘armpit cut’ between the picnic shoulder and belly are not to be missed.

Customers with a sweet tooth and fans of deep-fried goodness line up here from 6am to get their daily fix. The deep-fried Patongko (dough sticks) and salapao are freshly prepared; the crunchy fries are golden-brown. It’s all very tasty; even without the dipping sauces.

This outlet with a red-brown zinc roof offers a menu of both individual and sharing dishes, with nicely balanced flavours. Despite its humble guise, Sang Ka Sri attracts a crowd, so be prepared to wait for a table before enjoying the fresh squid with herbs and tangy dressing.
