Big Mom's Kitchen
Description
Massaman curry, Panang curry and roti are the reason to pull over here. The curries arrive thick, fragrant and properly spiced, with enough sauce to make the roti disappear at an alarming rate.
Big Mom cooks each plate to order, so this is lunch for anyone happy to let a wok take its time. Pad kra pao with pork or shrimp brings the salty-hot basil hit, while kaeng som, grilled fish and mussels keep the menu rooted in southern Thai cooking.
The place is a small roadside family kitchen, low-key and pleasantly free of resort theatre. Fruit shakes, mango juice and Thai iced tea are worth adding, especially after papaya salad or pineapple yellow curry. Roti is not always printed on the menu, which is the sort of oversight civilisation has somehow survived.
Portions are generous, and the food has the depth of a home kitchen. Foodies chasing serious Thai curries should make the detour; anyone needing a fast, polished resort lunch will find the wait too long.
Highlights
- Roti pairs brilliantly with curries and is available off-menu
- Pad kra pao, kaeng som, grilled fish and mussels provide proper Thai variety
- Generous portions from a small family kitchen
- The roadside location sits away from Koh Lanta's busier strips
