Running 4pm to 11pm everyday from tomorrow until the end of the month (Aug 31), excluding Sundays, the specially created lobster menu will include such dishes as torpedo lobster, hokkien lobster stir-fry, truffle lobster, lobster gyoza, batter fried lobster, mataba lobster roti, mala lobster, wasabi lobster minced ice cream, lobster pad Thai, lobster waffle balls hidden in cheese, a special cocktail known as “Lobster Surfing” and a whole variety of other delectable dishes.
Kata Walking Street @The Beach is the perfect opportunity to try such a varied range of dishes and a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day, executive organiser Kan Prachumphan said.
Celebrating three months of being open on Aug 8, Kata Walking Street @The Beach has thrived despite the low-season, Mr Kan added, welcoming tourists of all nationalities to savour the local gastronomy and ambiance.
The entire area is set in a clean, fully sanitised space that creates a realxed atmosphere for the entire family, he added.
In addition to the special lobster-themed menu tomorrow, traditional popular dishes include Pad Thai, Papaya Salad, Panang, Khao Soi and Mango Sticky Rice.
The delicious street food offerings have been carefully selected to promote Phuket as a desirable gastronomy destination where tourists from all over the world can convene and enjoy together, while helping local businesses re-energise their businesses after the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For decades Thailand has celebrated Aug 12 as Mother’s Day, as it is the birthday of Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, who was Royal Consort to the deeply revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama 9), now feted as King Bhumibol The Great.
The auspicious holiday this Saturday honours the 91st birthday of Queen Sirikit, mother of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun (Rama X).
Phuket Immigration confirmed yesterday that it will be closed on Monday (Aug 14), as will all government offices.
There will be no ban on the sale of alcohol on this holiday, as the alcohol ban is for the major Buddhist holidays only.
