Phuket's Hokkien snack platter: five-spice pork, offal, tofu and bean-curd-skin rolls, fried and sliced to order, with fried taro and a sweet, sour, spicy dip.

Loba takes its name from the Hokkien lor bak, and in Phuket it became a market snack that shows the Hokkien influence on the island's food. The spread centres on pork and offal seasoned with five-spice, with tofu, boiled egg and minced pork wrapped in bean-curd skin and fried until crackling. Everything is sliced to order and served with a thick dipping sauce that is sweet, sour and spicy at once, and the Michelin Guide lists a Phuket Town loba shop alongside bean sprout pancakes, fried spring rolls and herbal pork rib soup as Hokkien-style Phuket cooking.
