Evaluate your hunger then choose a small or large portion. Next, opt for clear minced pork soup or the famous Tom Yam broth. Each steaming bowl is topped with homemade fish balls, which have a pleasant fishy flavour and bouncy texture. Don’t miss adding crispy fish skin to your order.

Another great place for guay jub is Nai Ek Roll Noodles. Nai Ek started selling guay jub from a pushcart stall in Chinatown over fifty years ago until he opened his own shop in 1989. Nai Ek’s reputation grew thanks in large part to his unique take on guay jub in which crispy pork (moo krob) was added to the peppery broth along with minced pork, sliced pork and pork offal. The rolled rice noodles themselves are outstanding as they are longer and thicker which means a soft, fuller and chewier texture balancing out the spicy heat of the soup, and completing this signature dish. You can indulge in a serving of guay jub for breakfast, lunch or dinner because Nai Ek is open daily from 8am to midnight.
Congee is the ultimate Asian comfort food, and the place for one of the best bowls around has moved from a little stall in an alley to the next door building. The porridge is topped with minced pork balls and either a raw egg or a century egg. The congee is smooth and savoury and has a smoky aroma.
