serving hours; get here after 7.30pm and you won't be able to order.
Thanon Chomsin Food Stalls
(cnr Th Chomsin & Th Naebkehardt; dishes 30-40B; 9am-9pm)
If you're after 100% authentic eats,
check out the food stalls that congregate at this popular lunch corner. Though the setting
is humble, Thais are fastidious eaters and use a fork (or their fingers with a pinch of
kôw
nĕe·o
) to remove the meat from the bones of
gài tôrt
(fried chicken) rather than putting
teeth directly to flesh.

(Th Phetkasem; dishes from 30B; daylight hours)
The city's day market resides in a historic build-
ing built in 1926 with a distinctive seven-eaved roof in honour of Rama VII. There are
the usual market refreshments: morning vendors selling
Ъah·tôrng·gŏh
(Chinese-style
doughnuts) and
gah·faa boh·rahn
(ancient-style coffee spiked with sweetened condensed
milk); as well as all-day noodles with freshly made wontons; and the full assortment of
fresh tropical fruit.
Hua Hin Koti
( 0 3251 1252; 16/1 Th Dechanuchit; dishes 120-300B; 11am-10pm)
Across from the night market,
this Thai-Chinese restaurant is a national culinary luminary. Thais adore the fried crab
balls, while foreigners swoon over
đôm yam gûng
(shrimp soup with lemon grass). And
everyone loves the spicy seafood salad
(yam tá-lair)
and deep-fried fish with ginger. Be
prepared to queue for a table.
