ป้ารวยปูเป็น สาขา1 Aunt Ruay

Live blue crab, garlic‑butter scallops, crab omelette – Khao Takiab’s go‑to for fresh, no‑frills seafood. Tanks out front, quick service, fair prices. Open daily 9:30am–9pm near the fishing pier.

About

The Khao Takiab crowd swears by Aunt Ruay for one thing: seafood that’s as fresh as it gets. Tanks of live blue crab sit by the entrance, fishermen unload a few doors down, and the kitchen turns it all into simple, dialed‑in plates. It’s the kind of place where you smell garlic butter and charcoal as you walk up, grab a plastic chair, and food lands fast. Start with the steamed blue crab – claws pre‑cracked, sweet meat you barely need to dip. Regulars mix it up with crab omelette, yellow curry crab, and grilled scallops slicked with garlic butter. If you like a little fire, ask for som tam pu maa (spicy papaya salad with raw blue crab). Squid, big prawns, and sea snails round out the greatest hits – clean, briny, and fairly priced for the quality. You’ll find Branch 1 on Mooban Khao Takiab Road, Nong Kae (20/158), a quick hop from the fishing pier and the tail end of Hua Hin beach. It runs daily from 9:30am to 9pm, so swing by for a late lunch after Khao Takiab or an early seafood dinner before the evening market. Expect families, Bangkok day‑trippers, and staff who keep plates moving without fuss.
