Hua Hin is a popular city in Thailand that is well known for its seafood and other authentic Thai dishes. Here is a list of Thai food dishes you must try when in these parts.
This list is going to start off with an appetising salad. This is unlike any salad you've had ever had before. It is fused with the zestiness of the fresh blue crabs of this town. This is an all-time favourite and you cannot miss out on its amazing blend of flavours which is quite addictive.
This is one of the main highlights of the cuisine here. Most people often avoid ordering crab, as breaking their shell to taste the exquisite meat inside can be quite a tedious task. However, this dish does not have any of those issues and are served as bite-size portions that are ready for the bite Dip the meaty crab into the spicy sauce that it is served with and devour its flavours. If you are looking for Hua Hin restaurants, where you can taste popular dishes like this, you can check out properties like Anantara Hua Hin Resort.
This soup is absolutely delicious and mouth-watering. The blend of chillies, lime leaves, lemongrass, lime juice, fish sauce, shallots and galangal bring about an explosion of flavours. This soup is sour and spicy and is a dish that brilliantly represents Thailand.
The meat content might be not something that you often go for. But if you can overlook the fact that they're actually snails, you are going to taste a brilliant dish unlike any other. The snails are cooked with garlic, fresh peppercorns, sweet basil, wild ginger, birds-eye chillies, roasted chilli oil and the likes, which bring about flavours that you might have never tasted before. It is a local favourite, and if such is the case you are guaranteed a brilliant dish.
Have you ever tried oysters? If you have or haven't, this would be a great place to try it. These oysters are cooked with some of the freshest herbs and ingredients that make it heavenly. The dish is served in a hot plate so make sure you don't burn your tongue! Wait till it cools off, even though it's quite difficult to resist.
This is a dish that is made out of freshwater fish traditionally. But now there are variations of it that substitute the freshwater fish with other seafood. It might add shrimp, squid, or mussels. This meat variety is cooked with coconut cream and some red curry base that is served inside coconut shells.
If you would like to go old school and just taste a simple seafood dish, then the Thai fried noodles are the one to go for. This dish infuses simple ingredients and brings about bouts of flavours that are exquisite.
