PHUKEJ

Southern Thai Cuisine makes a scene in
Chinatown. Phukej, cooking up southern
Thai fusion, takes inspiration from
Phuket’s retro recipes, when the port city
was frequently visited by Chinese and
Malay travellers, slowly influencing the
local cuisine. Phukej is the brainchild of
Chef Pemika “Tong” Ungsongsup and
Chef Thapakorn Lertviriyavit, and serves
dishes from classic grilled meats to authentic
Phuket-style charcoal cups stuffed with
Hokkaido scallops. You can find Phukej
on Yaowarat Road and is open Mondays
from 11am to 9pm, and Thursdays-Sundays
from 11am to 9pm. Instagram:@phukejbkk
