It is pronounced 'Poortong', but the sign is in Thai script only; on Phuket Rd. Look for the kitchen set up on the footpath and fluorescent lit seating inside. The friendly staff (see LAM Friends), shared a couple of recipes with us..
'Poortong' restaurant serves a good range of authentic Thai food (menu in English and Thai). Check out our acquired recipes for green mango salad (LAM Bits) and steamed clams. If you like it hot, 'Muh Parng'; fried pork in red curry sauce, with beans, chilli, lime leaf, green pepper and tumeric, is a delicious option. It gets all the diners coughing because of the chilli released in the air during cooking.
Steamed Clams:
Ingredients: 220grms fresh clams / mussels
2 tblsp chilli jam (your favourite brand)
4 or 5 kaffir lime leaves
fish sauce; a squirt
basil; to garnish
Method: Throw clams / mussels into a hot wok or pan, add a splash of water. Cover and leave to steam gently, until shells begin to open. Add chilli jam, fish sauce and lime leaves; mix through and simmer for 2 - 3 mins (add more water if required to allow for saucy consistancy). Tear basil and fold through to finish.
