On a scorching afternoon, I wandered through a narrow alley on the outskirts of Phuket Town.
A gentle breeze carried the scent of spices to my nose.
I looked ahead and saw a bustling local eatery packed with smiling faces.
“This must be the famous ‘Roti Chaofa’…”
At that moment, I had no idea—
That the plate about to arrive would completely redefine my understanding of Southern Thai curry.
Bib Gourmand’s Seal of Satisfaction – Worth Every Baht!
“Bib Gourmand”—the Michelin recognition reserved for places serving exceptional food at reasonable prices.
At ‘Roti Chaofa,’ it’s not the sweet roti you might know.
It’s roti transformed into the ultimate partner for rich Southern Thai curries.
The moment the flaky bread meets the velvety curry, you’ll find yourself wondering—
“Is this really only 80 THB?”
The satisfaction far exceeds the price.
The Must-Try Roti x Curry Combos!
◎ Chicken Curry (แกงไก่)
Tender chicken simmered in a mild, nutty curry sauce with a subtle sweetness.
If you think Thai curries are always fiery hot, this dish will prove you wrong.
Comforting and rich—it’s like a warm hug in every bite.
◎ Beef Massaman Curry (แกงมัสมั่นเนื้อ)
Tangy, succulent beef that falls apart effortlessly, blended with aromatic spices & a hint of sweetness.
It’s not just curry; it’s an experience—sweet, sour, rich, & perfectly spiced.
The Magic of Roti
The roti at ‘Roti Chaofa’ is more than just bread.
Crispy on the edges, fluffy inside, with a slight chewiness—the texture is a masterpiece itself.
It’s fantastic on its own but becomes transcendent when paired with curry.
Before you know it, your plate is empty, and you’re ordering another round.
Loved by Locals for Over 35 Years
From morning till noon, the place is always packed with locals.
They’re not there for Instagram likes or fancy plating.
They come for “real food that fills the soul”—a craving that ‘Roti Chaofa’ has satisfied consistently for over three decades.

“If you could only eat one meal in Phuket?”
I’d say, without hesitation:
Go to ‘Roti Chaofa’ and order roti with Southern Thai curry.
The aroma, the crunch, the burst of spices—
Everything comes together in that single bite.
And you’ll whisper to yourself:
“This is more than Bib Gourmand—it’s a dish everyone should taste at least once in their life.”
