Part 2/6:
To kick off my gastronomic journey, I stopped by a local Chinese restaurant famous for its rocken hocken, a dish associated with Chinese immigrants who settled in Phuket to work in tin mines. This hearty noodle dish features thick egg noodles, pork, Chinese mustard greens, and a soft-boiled egg that adds richness and shine as you cut into it. Its flavor profile reminded me of a fusion between carbonara and a barbecue pork sensation—delicious and definitely a must-try.
