Cultured Palate: Dishes from Thailand
| May 3, 2017
Bplaa Likun
This is a local favorite in Koh Samui, a popular tourist destination. While it may not be found on menus around the tourist centers, locals love eating this dish with a beer at the end of the day. Bplaa likun are anchovies, abundant on an island just off the coast of Thailand, deep fried until crisp, then served with a fiery hot lime-chili dip. Fried whole, the bones are then brittle enough to be swallowed along with the meat. You’ll find an excellent version of these at local restaurant Takho Bangpo.
