We discovered this small restaurant, MoonSoon Thai, and it’s a gem. We were walking by on our first night in Tan Nai Pan and spotted it. The tiny waiter wore pink fisherman pants. We’ve ended up eating here most nights as the food was so delicious. One night I asked the waiter (his name is Suzi!) if the red snapper was fresh and he looked at me with some level of disdain and said with his slight lisp, “yes of course, everyday”. It is an island after all! He proceeded to tell us he would deep fry and debone the fish and all the of fillets would be covered with fresh tamarind sauce, pineapple, red peppers and a few pepper corn. It was incredible. With fried crispy Thai basil leaves on top. We feasted! We had a bowl of squash and chicken in a light red curry sauce with it and rice. A large bottle of beer rounded out our feast. Cost 700B - $22 with small tip.
We enjoyed some great dinners there. Suzi would tell us if we were ordering too much. He was a hoot. If you didn’t get there early, say 6pm, the tables were full. It was the best local place in the village.
