Traveling the 3 Southern Border Provinces 1/15: Eating Pig Tail Noodles at Yinkit, Hat Yai

When talking about Hat Yai, Songkhla Province, many might think of a bustling big city full of a variety of delicious foods. But for mr.hotsia this time, I want to start the tripTraveling the 3 Southern Border Provinceswith a must-try dish: “Pig Tail Noodles” at Yinkit, located on Thammanukit Road in the heart of Hat Yai.

Arriving in Hat Yai in the evening after driving through the busy main roads, I stopped by Yinkit, a restaurant famous for its pig tail noodles for a long time. The atmosphere feels friendly like a typical local noodle shop, but the fragrant broth aroma immediately makes your stomach growl.

The first dish I ordered was clear pig tail noodle soup. The broth is simmered until sweet and mellow from pig tails stewed until tender. The noodles are perfectly chewy and soft, enhanced with fried garlic and plenty of fresh vegetables. The taste is unlike typical big city noodles because here they pay attention to every step of making the broth and use fresh ingredients.

Besides pig tail noodles, Yinkit also offers side dishes like homemade pork meatballs and minced pork. The flavor is balanced, neither too sweet nor too salty, making me unable to resist ordering another bowl before continuing my journey.

Speaking of Hat Yai, besides the pig tail noodles at Yinkit that mr.hotsia recommends without hesitation, there are many other local dishes worth trying, such asOuan Bak Kut Tehwhich offers a mellow Chinese herbal flavor, or the famous pork blood soup at Kim Yong Market, not far away.Pork Blood Soup at Kim Yong Market, Hat Yaiis also a great choice for those who love sipping hot broth.
