MISS WANG DIM SUM

Miss Wang Dim Sum is another home business born out of the pandemic. The owner, Golf Suwanbodee’s day job is hotel general manager of Thavorn Palm Beach Resort, and is from the southern province of Songkhla. Golf has been living in Phuket since 2004, when she started university. She has travelled extensively throughout Thailand, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Australia and spent four months a year in Kunming, Anhui and Shanghai during her university years, being the typical foodie. With her business partner, Nancy Mhuadchan, who is also her niece and a chef in Phuket, they found themselves out of work when Phuket closed

“We have always wanted to open a restaurant in a year or two, but with the on-set of Covid-19, decided to roll the dice and start a home business making dim sum to test the market. We offer a limited menu, since it’s just the two of us, but concentrate on the quality of produce and product,” says Golf.

MENU: They offer Kanom jeep (dumplings): pork, crab, prawn and crystal prawn or har gow. Also, on the menu are Sala pao or pork buns, Phuket slow braised pork belly buns, char siu

bao, minced pork with egg buns and minced pork with salted egg buns. “We plan to add more items as we expand but at this stage, we plan to focus our clientele, which are local Thai and expat. We have found that we have had many farang customers who have lived or come from places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, England or Russia and are looking for that authentic style dim sum,” she adds. Miss Wang Dim Sum signature dish is the Sala pao moo hong or traditional Phuket slow braised pork belly, which is renowned for being served with rice as a main meal.
