Jok Sam Yak stands out as one of Bangkok’s leading congee places. More than 65 years in the biz and its owners haven’t tired of making their signature rice porridge, here made with sweet jasmine rice and mix-ins like pork intestines and liver.

There’s nothing quite like a bowl of jok in the morning. Like a warm, gooey, sucks-you-right-in kind of hug, jok is synonymous with comfort, and for many, it’s the go-to for easing into the day. Like any blank canvas, however, jok is also wildly versatile. It can be enjoyed on its own, but it can also be enjoyed with a variety of toppings.

Much like Jok Prince, Jok Samyan is a staple for many, and is an especially popular vendor for takeout and delivery. It’s likely you know Jok Samyan from your late nights about town, because they famously also open until the wee hours of the morning. Here, they serve up a classic pork congee, with all the classic trimmings. Add a little bit of grated ginger, and a little bit of spring onion, and you’ll be good to go. No fuss, no frills, and plenty of comfort.
