Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Come here for an inexpensive, air-conditioned lunch if you're already in BlúPort—not as a standalone destination. With fewer than 20 stalls, the selection is smaller than at Market Village a little further down the road, and the prices are slightly higher. "Higher," however, still means that pork fried noodles will set you back 65 baht. There's Hainanese chicken rice, pad Thai, stir-fried noodles, wok dishes, and a few Western options. The pad Thai stall is the one people keep coming back to.

What's particularly good here is the amount of space. The tables are widely spaced and rarely all occupied, which is unusual for a Thai food court. This allows you to eat in peace instead of standing around with your tray. It's clean, simple, and ideal for groups where everyone wants something different, as everyone orders separately and sits together. The weak point is the quality of the individual stalls. Some of the standard wok dishes taste like the pictures on the chalkboard, but are rather bland and too sweet, and orders are sometimes mixed up. It's best to stick to the stalls with a queue; then you're sure to eat well.
