About Jok Samui
A true local supper spot in the Old Town: from 5 pm to midnight a team of three works like a market stall, ladling smooth rice porridge out front with minced pork, a soft egg, ginger and spring onion. Do as the regulars do and tear a patonggo doughnut into the bowl. Khao tom and mee suah noodles complete the short menu, and nothing costs more than 80 baht.
Also known as Jok Samui Restaurant, Jok Samui (Branch 1)
