Phuket's early-morning fry: paired dough sticks deep-fried golden and hollow, eaten plain or with sweet dips, often beside soft steamed salapao buns.

Pa thong ko are the Chinese fried dough sticks found across Thailand, and in Phuket's Hokkien towns they are a dawn ritual. Stalls start frying at dawn and are done by mid-morning, with the sticks eaten plain, dipped in sweet sauces or alongside soft steamed salapao buns. At a Bib Gourmand stall in Wichit, just outside Phuket Town, customers line up from 6am for sticks and salapao fried fresh each morning.
