Ying Ying's kitchen — Restaurant in Surat Thani Province

This is my third time in Thailand and I found good places to have beautiful food before. But this time, travelling through Bangkok, Chiang Rai and Koh Phangan it was very difficult finding a place which didn't adapt its style to tourists, that it's clean, that it's cooking on the street (practically) and that it's not taking advantage of touristic prices. Usually I like cooking Thai food at home and I use a lot of passion and the best ingredients I can find around my area. But tonight I'm having the most beautiful, and delicate at the same time, Thai Green Curry I ever had!! I asked the gentle lady what her secret was in cooking it and she revealed it to me...but I'm not telling you, otherwise you wouldn't come and try it on your own. I gave only 4 stars to the environment as the place is on one of the collaterals main street of the Island, but I'm sure in the future they will develop something very special here if they won't adapt their dishes to the tourists! Ehy...when I saw the dog I said to myself: Why,the food must be...

Very good authentic Thai Food found on the Haad Salad Main Rd with one of the best Massaman Curries I've ever had in my life and no MSG (no Glutamat). Might be one of best on the Island.

Most of the Main Thai Dishes are priced 100 THB +20 THB for Rice, which is a little above average for Thai food on Phangan. You can pick your own level of spiciness and they will have you write everything down, so no messups!

For 5 Stars: Leave the Palm Oil away for cooking and only use Coconut Oil (there's millions of coconuts on the island, they even grow in their backjard) then it will be one of my favorite restaurants and receive 5 Stars!

P.S. Ying Ying also does laundry and rents...

I eat here roughly 2/3 times a week so that must say a lot. When you're feeling I'll as a short term tourist with the inevitable stomach problems that come with adjusting to somewhere new you can always rely on Yings Kitchen to cook you the most carefully prepared and clean food. As well as clean, the food here is definitely in my top 3 in the whole of Thailand. I spend a lot of time in Thailand so I know my Thai food very well - Everyone that visits this place always returns!

Try the chicken garlic pepper or yings twist on a masamman is one of my favorites too. Definitely have a banana coconut shake - puts any McDonald's...
