WS Porn Isan Restaurant
Description
Charcoal-grilled gai yang is the order that matters here: smoky skin, juicy meat and enough flavour to make the plastic-chair setting feel entirely beside the point. The chicken sits on the grill out front, drawing in anyone with a functioning nose.
Isan cooking fills the menu, with sticky rice, chicken larb, namtok and soups built around herbs, lime, fish sauce and chilli. The corn salad has a sweet-hot balance worth chasing, while the papaya and mango salads arrive with proper Thai heat unless you specify otherwise.
This is for diners bored of another pad Thai-and-curry lap around the island. Foodies and budget eaters should make the detour; anyone requiring polished decor, hushed lighting and a laminated wine list has selected the wrong branch of civilisation.
The restaurant sits beside Malina’s Kitchen and is easy to miss from the road. Grilled chicken can sell out, and the small kitchen slows down when the tables fill, so arriving early is smarter than staring mournfully at an empty grill.
