Mee Ton Poe

Phuket Town


Right on Phuket Town's Clock Tower Circle, amid wooden tables and red-plastic stools, third-generation Mee Ton Poe has been pulling in Phuketians since 1946 with its superb noodle dishes, including mèe nam tom poe (Hokkien noodle soup) and the signature mèe pad hokkien (fried yellow noodles with pork, shrimp, fish balls and veg in a broth).
