SOI 55 Thai Eatery Ballito

Soi 55 is run by a Thai-born chef who moved to South Africa as a teenager and has spent over two decades in hospitality, from classic Thai restaurants to hotels and finally his own passion project. The name “Soi” means alleyway in Thai, and 55 comes from the unit number, a nod to the street-food culture that inspires the menu. Along the way, we talk Thai food culture, spice levels, balance of sweet–sour–salty flavours, and how Soi 55 adapts authentic Thai cooking for South African palates while still keeping it real. #HammyEats #MrDxHammyEats #NickHamman #Soi55 #BallitoEats #DurbanFood #ThaiFoodSA #ThaiFusion  #FoodReviewSA #SouthAfricanFood #BallitoRestaurants #StreetFoodInspired #SpicyFoodLovers #LocalLegendsSA #FoodieSA
