Prince of Porridge in Bangkok

#wheretogo #bangkok Imagine a little eatery in Bangkok serving Asian congee that is listed on the Michelin Guide - well, we certainly weren’t the only ones who discovered it because we met others who were there to taste their special porridge too. This no frills stall has been around for 50 years and remains tremendously popular for breakfast and dinner so go early as they sell out fast! “Jok” means “porridge” in Cantonese. It would be appropriate to think of it as “Prince of Porridge” even though it’s named Jok Prince because they used to be near Prince Theatre. It serves a traditional Cantonese-style minced pork balls porridge with options of pork offal, raw egg or century egg but what makes it stand out is the unique flavour that comes from the way they capture the “wok hei” as the porridge is slow-cooked over intense charcoal heat till smooth.
