The Restaurant Beside 7 Eleven
Description
Deep-fried papaya salad, ginger tofu and grilled pork with sticky rice are the reasons this unassuming Old Town stop keeps pulling diners back. The corn salad has the right sharp-sweet kick, and the pineapple curry lands far better than a curry involving fruit has any right to.
The menu is broad enough to survive repeat visits without defaulting to Pad Thai. Go for holy basil pork, chicken cashew nut, green or Penang curry, morning glory and mango sticky rice. Portions are modest, so two hungry adults should treat a single dish as a suggestion, not a constitutional limit.
Plastic tables sit beside the 7-Eleven, which is less cinematic than Old Town’s waterfront restaurants and more useful. Food is cooked fresh, so a busy table count means a proper wait; thirty minutes can happen. The passion fruit soda is worth the pause.
They do not sell alcohol, and the 7-Eleven next door solves that problem with spectacular efficiency. Bring mosquito repellent after dark, then settle in for the fried papaya salad – it is the dish that turns a quick meal into a return booking.
