Jok See is Phuket Town's most popular restaurant. It's hidden away on a side street called Takua Pa just a half block from busy Ratsada Road, the city's main thoroughfare. There's no sign outside announcing that every night, it's hard to find a seat. Just a wall of tropical plants greets the customer.
Ka Jok See is a success due to the recipes that Khun Lek has developed over the years as well as his soft lighting and nightly music and entertainment sessions which sometimes last far into the night. He has a collection of thousands of CDs and a great sound system. He knows how to take his customers through an evening keeping them excited while having great food.
The ambience of Ka Jok See seems European. He covers the tables with newspapers. The lighting is soft and warm from fixtures that seem as old as the historic Sino-Portuguese house where the restaurant resides. |
