We left the island of Ko Phi Phi today and are currently in the Phuket airport waiting to board our flight to Bangkok. While killing a few hours in Phuket town on our way back from Ko Phi Phi we stumbled upon this place - MK Restaurant (www.mkrestaurant.com) - which is apparently "the most favorite restaurant in Thailand". They serve Thai-style suki - a spin on Japanese sukiyaki which is a soup served in Japanese hot pot style with a spicy sauce for dipping. Hot pot is both a delicious meal and a fun activity because you get to add the ingredients to the broth and watch the soup come to life in front ot you! We chose an assortment of vegetables (mostly greens and different types of mushrooms), shrimp cake wrapped in seaweed, green egg noodles and a few raw eggs to cook in the broth.
This soup was a welcome change of pace from all the rice and curries and fried dishes we've been eating a lot of in Thailand - it's like the Asian-version of a big salad because you get a good-sized helping of vegetables and it has a light, fresh taste. It was a great find on an otherwise uneventful day of lugging our backpacks around and trying to find a good Wifi connection.
