[food review] Jok Jok Mor - Traditional Thai Claypot Porridge

Good news to all foodies who love Thai food/cuisines. There is a newly opened food concept in town which serves traditional Thai claypot porridge. It is named as 'Jok Jok Mor' literally means porridge in a pot in Thai. Jok Jok Mor is a causal Thai eatery place that offer an authentic Thai porridge with a twist!



Jok Jok Mor is located at one of the shophouses along Rangoon Road, where the nearest train station is Farrer Park MRT Station.The eatery place bears a simple layout and it has a second level to accommodate more diners. 


Jok Jok Mor is one of the first Thai establishments to have introduced Thai-style Claypot Porridge to the locals in Singapore. 

  


 Recently, I got the opportunity to attend the food tasting session at casual Thai restaurant, Jok Jok Mor, all thanks to my blogging mate, Tracy. 


We started off with a refreshing beverage, the unsweetened version of Thai Oishi Green Tea, which is healthier I suppose. 



Time for the tasting!

There are basically 3 types of porridge - Tom Yum (Creamy, Mild Spicy and Tangy Porridge), See Ew Kao (Thai Light Soy Sauce Porridge) and Mak Kum (Distinctive Zingy & Refreshing Porridge). 

Once the porridge was served to our table, we could smell the nice aroma and the presentation looked visually appealing! We couldn’t wait to dig in!


Tom Yum (SGD13.90) served with river prawn, pork ribs, minced pork, egg and broccoli. Needless to say, the prawn went naturally well with the Tom Yum flavors. The fragrance of the Tom Yum herbs offers a new experience of Thai porridge. The Tom Yum flavors enhanced the pork ribs which tasted very delicious!


I love the Tom Yum Porridge the best. It is served piping hot in a claypot with generous ingredients added in it. The porridge is not those silky-smooth, creamy type. It has visible rice grains which is neither too thick nor too watery. If you love Mama instant noodles, just let the friendly servers know, and they will replace the porridge with noodles instead! 


See Ew Kao (SGD8.90) served with pork ribs, minced pork, egg, white radish and broccoli. It was a sweeter version because it contained Thai light soy sauce. The ingredients were pretty much similar to Tom Yum except that the prawns were replaced by white radish. As compared to the Tom Yum Porridge, this version was a little bland to me, as I prefer strong flavors. 


Mak Kum (SGD8.90) was sour but absolutely delicious. The taste perked up my appetite and it was my next favorite after Tom Yum. Generous ingredients were given as usual except, crabmeat sticks were given instead of prawns in the Tom Yum Porridge and white radish in See Ew Kao.


Apart from the claypot porridge, the eatery place also served side dishes, and the prices range from SGD 5.90 to SGD7.90 per plate. I always have a soft spot for Thai Fish Cake ($5.90), and yes, we ordered that to try. This is a staple snack in all Thai restaurants, and it tasted awesome. 


We were also served a snack-platter for our tasting purposes. In our tasting platter, we had Crispy Pork Belly (SGD6.90), Fried Tumeric Chicken Wings (SGD6.90), Otah (SGD7.90), and Fried Sesame Chicken (SGD5.90).
 


Although the menu is quite limited for now without traditional Thai desserts, I believe it will still be able to satisfy your Thai food craving. I am so happy that I could enjoy a piping hot claypot Tom Yum porridge without needing to buy a ticket to Bangkok.
