Congee not (just) for a prince

Eating in a shabby little alley is always not my preference; Jok Prince (Prince Congee), example of an exceptional case.

Tomyum Super

"Super" and then some!

Me, seldom have a crave for roadside eating, especially in the summer seasons of Bangkok. Hygiene is one major concern, and roadside dining in the summer cum rainy days is similar to eating in a sauna. However, I just did it last night. Can't help! Because the "super" noodle is superb.

Seasoned with dust

A friend in London asked me why he didn't see roadside somtum dishes were reviewed in my blog.

Here we go, my roadside somtum feast. A no-frills dining experience.

Available anywhere in Bangkok and throughout Thailand. (I got mine on Silom Road near Saladaeng.)

Jok memory

Few years ago when I still love the booze, Khao-san in the Old City is one area I hang out at night. After all the fun, a bowl of jok (a.k.a. congee) might conclude the night in peace.

A revisit to this two decades old roadside hawker, Jok Rambuttri, on Thai Mother's Day (August 12) having my good old days memory back in minutes.

Samyan cravings

You have heard about the five-decade renowned Jok Samyan don't you? Our fact finding confirmed that Bangkok's Samyan district houses more than just a decade-old congee shop; and eventually Samyan has been a foodies paradise for decades. Samyan gourmet map consisting of two areas, one on the Chula side (Sub-Soi Chula) and the other at Saphan Luang. Of course you have no idea what am I saying here (unless you are Bangkokians) therefore I am kind enough to show you the Samyan eat-until-drop guide.

First, where is Samyan? It is roughly referred to the area starts west from the begin of Rama IV Road (Hua-Lam-Phong Railway Station) until it meets Phayathai Road on the East (Samyan intersection). Samyan is an old Thai-Chinese business community in between the C.B.D. and the China Town (Yaowaraj).

Samyan gourmet route on Saphan Luang (Yellow Bridge) side; we ate this, this and this:


1. guay-jub hawker right outside SCB Bank, 566 Rama IV Road

2. dimsun hawker oppsite the guay-jub stall at 566 Rama IV Road
(the cream bun is a must try!)

3. freshly-made curry puff with varies stuffing

4. Tang-Tsu-Heng (530 Rama IV Road) stands here for half a century

5. Swang crab claw noodle, famous for the noodle, infamous for the price

6. Loong-Loon fish balls and yentafo noodle, 1091 Rama IV Road

7. Lan-10 Rad-na Shop, on Chula Soi 5
(in heir of Samyan's Tor Raja Rad-na Yod-Pak recipe)

8. Samyan beef hotpot and noodle, 581 Rama IV Road

*conclude your roadside gourmet journey with home-made coconut ice cream at
Viroon Ice Cream and bought home some goon-chiang (Thai-Chinese sausage)

more reviews on Chula side coming soon ...
