Zab E Lee — Restaurant in Phetchaburi Province

The best Isaan restaurant in the area weĺl used by locals. Its Isaan food so its going to be spicy which I like. Bangkok and Thais from the South find this food hot.

It is not is not aThai expression but is derived from the Lao language which literally translated means "very delicious". In Thai it is aroi maak

A local told me that 2 infamous characters , both ladies , hang out here sometimes. They specialise in tricking older foreign males, often sick or infirm They befriend the men offering them home help , taxi and sightseeing services. They lure the them into trusting them and manage to rob the unfortunate men. In one case they managed to video a Canadian man using the ATM and took note of the password, got hold of his card later and took more than 25000.euro from his account So be on your guard in the Hua Hin, cha-am of a gang of 4 to 5 people ..

The service was lacking, we were not delivered two of the dishes after we’d finished everything else and we had to ask the waiter twice where they were.

It’s one off fav places for Somtum and regularly come if I travel to Hua Hin. I knew this restaurant a long time since it was a small restaurant with few huts. I would recommend to order Grilled beef, Spicy Pork’s neck called Nam Tok Moo and fried chicken wings. Somtam is ok but not best. Price is reasonable and not expensive. For service sometime you need to call few times to ask for something...
