Years ago,the food here was good and the outlet was jam packed with customers.Apart from the novelty of the seating arrangement,even the drinks and desserts were admittedly quite good.
Two or three years later,the place changed hands and there went the good food,nice presentation,reasonable price and friendly,fast,efficient service altogether.
Food was horrid,service sucked,no one smiled,drinks and desserts were super yucks.Soon enough their regular customers dwindled down to zero but the outlet still soldiered on.On any given day the outlet was sure to be empty*.
All of a sudden now due to a new write up in an influential newspaper,I expect this formerly empty makan place to be packed with curious customers wanting to give it a try.
Unless you enjoy Haadyai food,which is where the chef is touted to be from,don't be a sucker-tomer.Hop on the plane and take that flight out to Bangkok.
*One of the reasons why the outlet never really recovered was that Prangin has since become reknowned as the place to go to for southern thai tomyam soup,noodles and even steamboat.Somehow the dish(much like assam laksa) smells so excrutiatingly mouthwatering within an enclosed airconditioned space,though more often than not the taste falls short of the initial smell.The tomyam here is of the extremely oily,sweet and burning hot variety with fans that range from young students to entire families.
