A huge bit of the restaurant levitates above the sea, on some old gray stilts, sort of cracked palisade surrounded by some houses like some kind of stations. It reminds me of  “Moving Castle”. Apparently, tides are high here.

We go upstairs. Second floor. Tables are covered with tablecloths …. Hmm.

There’s a happy-looking dog running along the beach. He has stolen a big fish from somewhere and the tail of the fish is swaying and slapping the dog’s body in the rhythm of the dog’s unhurried run.

The seagulls.

The menu is like a Großbuch. It has pictures on 20 pages and it’s bursting with variety.

Shrimps, then other shrimps, then again another shrimps, rock lobster, lobster, squid/fish/seashells.

Everything is the same as everywhere except for one thing – (almost) everything is properly cooked.

Let’s start with the dish that usually brings me to tears – but here it’s a fucking awesome squid, in vinegar-garlic sauce,  it could be their signature dish. Elastic, not rubbery, juicy, exactly the squid/squid, the squidest™ squid, the squid of the squids.

Then comes an absolutely non-human crab curry. OK, fuck the crab, the little crabs are good just to mess around with them wasting your time, nothing more. But I’m talking about the curry! For this yellow foam/liquid I can give a lot.

And honestly, their old school tom yam isn’t bad at all – served in a “saucepan” on the hissing burner. Scoop it with a ladle right out there, as much as you want, and end up with a heap of my favorite oyster mushrooms.

Pretty nice signature prawns. And I am astonished with the leaves around them because they are even nicer. Like really the leaves to remember. Remarkable!

Yet unfortunately, it’s not spicy at all, but now it seems like this tendency will remain in Thai forever.

Grill… Oh well, their Thai grill is more or less crap everywhere. They just can’t do it, it’s all overcooked. In this place 2 out of 5 dishes were overcooked. Just don’t go for the grill. I’ve tried just because of you, just to test it.

As for the dessert – a tray of enchanting pomelo. What else could you wish for?

Overall, a pretty decent place for lunch and the price tag is fairly low.  Because you do have plenty of fancy restaurants in Hua Hin, where you would wear something like floor-length dress, cameo and bracelets.
