Sinsamut — Restaurant in Ko Samet

Food: We had questions about the restaurant's food handling practices. The staff explained that plates with raw meat and vegetables were placed on display in the sun, with no ice, at 4pm and these plates were then pulled and cooked for the customer up until closing at 10pm.

I think it's best they do a display but not taking the display to cook.

Overall the food is good. The pad see ew is yummy and the meat ball with tofu is...

The setting is lovely same as anywhere on koh samet on the beach. Music wasn't too loud so can talk comfortably.

Service was great with a smile

Had the half kg of prawns. Perfectly cooked. Pad Krapow was done well as well as the fried chicken and the omlette. The price was reasonable considering you're 10m from the water. Came to about 980 baht all in.

Food came out quickly. Probably helped we were here early and it was quiet. And...
