Jok Prince

I do have a love and hate relationship with this place. I have been here a number of times and everytime the waiting time just gets longer and longer. Visited on a weekend morning waited about 40 minutes to get a table. My usual is to always order item number 10 which is everything in the porridge. I am particularly not a fan of the porridge because I don't really like the burnt taste in the porridge. It's something so unique I don't get it anywhere but here. However the thing that always makes me go back has to be the meatball. They really make very good meatballs and are so big its just so satisfying eating them. I always call them the fist sized balls, not that big but might just get there one day. They do sell the Thai cute patongo which is the mini fritters but its quite expensive. You can actually get it cheaper by the stall outside the shop and also they give a sweet dip where you can add to the porridge extra texture and flavours and also have it like a dessert with the coconut dip. I recommend giving it a try but I have friends who are also kinda having a dislike for the burnt taste. I seriously don't know maybe it's the X factor which is giving it the Michelin status it is today.

Whether you like this porridge is very subjective. It has a distinctive burnt smell - something like the charred smell in claypot rice but much stronger. When I ate it a few years ago the taste was quite bland and you had to add fish sauce at the table to suit your own taste preference. But now the porridge is served with the fish sauce added during cooking and the saltiness already locked in. Great pork balls and internal organs. I would have preferred the century egg to be cooked with the porridge from the start rather than adding it just before serving.

The Jok(grounded-rice porriage) was great with an aroma of chacoal. The meat and pig organ were superb to fill the flavor and their century egg. The soup was a bit runny for those who prefer HK style, but recommend to try. We went around 11am so no queue on weekday, can simply just chop chop and go. A must try Jok(zhou) in Bangkok.

Silly smooth porridge/congee opposite Robinson. Unassuming, hearty and delicious! Friendly staff. Just pick from the simple intuitive menu in English. Its inexpensive yet nutritious

There's A Very Strong Burnt Smell When We Visited e Stall, Turns Out To Be e Burnt Porridge Smell... I Wonder Is It Thailand's "Wok Hey" As I Tasted e Similar Smell Along Yaowarat When Searching For Nice Pork Noodles!! I Personally Do Not Like e Taste As It Covers e Whole Of Everything In e Bowl. And e Smell Lingers Around In e Mouth For Awhile... 😅😅😅

Hearty yet light breakfast- this spot serves Cantonese style porridge that tastes homey and delicious. The porridge is very easy to eat and appeals to all age. Pork meatball was juicy and tasty.

Already crave their pork porridge for long time 🤤 Bangrak Silom Michelin Pork Porridge is here, must try their pork porridge with onsen egg, what a incredible pair, price is also reasonable, only 60Baht.

Unique burnt taste congee that stays years in this historic Bangrak district. I have heard people saying about long waiting line but for the last three consecutive days of visiting in different times, no waiting at all. You also have to understand the Thai culture that they do have congee for breakfast so the key is to avoid breakfast time if you could. Having congee with Patongo is the must! I personally make it into small pieces and put in the congee and let it soak in so the Patongo is soft enough. Yum! 🤤
