Arlak Restaurant E San
Description
Fish-sauce fried chicken wings arrive crisp, salty and dangerously easy to finish before the rest of dinner lands. Arlak does Esan food with proper heat, big plates and no effort spent sanding off the sharp edges for nervous holiday palates.
Start with som tam, especially the corn salad with raw shrimp if chilli holds no fear. The pork rib spicy soup has the sour, hot punch this island often waters down, while the jim jum hot pot is the sensible choice for a hungry table.
Deep-fried pork belly, grilled pork jowl and garlic-pepper fried fish all deserve space beside sticky rice. Curries and morning glory bring plenty of vegetables, and the pad Thai is a solid fallback for anyone temporarily unwilling to negotiate with fermented fish sauce.
Tell them your spice limit before ordering. The room is simple and the food comes out plate by plate, so start eating as dishes arrive; waiting for a ceremonial full-table reveal is how fried chicken goes cold, which would be a tragedy of Greek proportions in plastic chairs.
