Falang Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I don't know if a lot of you enjoy eating jok but I am. Do some of you know where to eat one in Bangkok? For smaller town in Thailand it maybee easy to find but I never find a good one in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumsoda Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Street vendors on Suk Soi 22, opposite Family Mart. I have it, on very good authority, it's as good as it gets Cheers DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I'll second that one. Very good, but you have to get there early -- they pack up by 1000 latest. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Other than a slang word for a Scotsman, what is 'jok'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 boiled rice! i think it is a chinese (hokkien or taojew) word. but jok is thicker than khao tom. also recomment the one on Soi 11 close to Swiss Park hotel. has also quite good Dim Sum.

.. Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Other than a slang word for a Scotsman, what is 'jok'? Johk (à ¹?à ¸?à ¹?à ¸Â) with minced pork, chicken or duck egg, spring onions, slivers of ginger, chopped spring onions, fried garlic, thick soy sauce and paa-tong-goh (à ¸?à ¸²à ¸?à ¹?à ¸Âà ¸?à ¹?à ¸Âà ¹?) is a lovely way to start the day. I'll do without the organ meats (usually pig's liver) that are popular additions tho'... Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preahko Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 the trick to eating jok in Bangkok is, get up early or stay out late: it's generally only sold between 1 am and 8 am... preahko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Jok is made from very fine rice particles, Kar Tom from whole rice or cracked rice. Jok is the same word in Taiwan and parts of China, in other parts it's called Congee. Jok is as someone said a Hokkien word, and other dialects. My favourite too! Though most mornings I have Kar Tom Gai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Do they serve it with the sweet bread like the Chinese do with Congee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
