Boonrat Dim Sum

Another classic breakfast institution in Phuket Old Town is Boonrat Dim Sum, which has been serving dim sum to locals since 1917. The dim sum here is based on original recipes from Guangzhou. You'll find an incredible variety of dim sum with all kinds of fillings — from steamed pork to crab and shrimp dumplings to minced pork wrapped in seaweed — the choice is enormous. They are open from 6 to 10 in the morning, so come very early if you want to get a seat. With its deeply rooted Chinese heritage, it's no surprise that dim sum features on menus in Phuket Town. It's usually a lunch dish, but in Phuket, fresh buns and dumplings filled with pork, shrimp, crab, or chicken make a tasty breakfast for Phuket locals. Since the place is owned by a fourth-generation Chinese family, you can expect authentic dim sum here.
