Located at 65, 10 Phloen Phithak, this eatery captivates locals and visitors alike with its comforting and freshly cooked dishes that invite you to experience an authentic taste of the region.

The signature highlight here is undoubtedly the traditional Thai-Chinese porridge – silky smooth, warming, and richly flavored, it stands out as a perfect start to any day or a soothing late-night meal. Beyond the beloved porridge, the menu bursts with a variety of dishes that celebrate Southern Thai cuisine’s vibrant and complex palette. Must-try favorites include the Southern sour curry (แกงส้ม), morning glory sautéed with oyster sauce, and the crispy Thai omelet, all noted for their well-balanced seasoning and freshness.

Dinings at มด ข้าวต้มพุ้ย 2 are enhanced by the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere of the restaurant.

The staff’s friendly, attentive service complements the experience, reinforcing the warm hospitality that this local gem prides itself on.

Reviewers consistently praise the quality and authentic taste of the dishes. Victor Peeke highlights the exceptional soft shell crab prepared here—an indulgence that, while premium priced by Thai standards, promises rich and satisfying flavors. James Duncan’s loyalty is a testament to the restaurant’s reliability and consistently impressive culinary standards, describing the place as both “amazing” and “friendly.” Meanwhile, Pithita Methapatthanapob notes the affordability with generous menu variety, recommending the pork belly and stir-fried vegetables while appreciating the comfort and taste, though pointing out the Southern sour curry as less intense than expected.

Its combination of homey ambiance, genuine flavors, and reasonable prices makes it a must-visit destination for true food enthusiasts seeking authentic porridge and Southern Thai dishes.

Very good soft shell crabs. Not cheap (by Thai standards), but very good. The fish curry was also excellent. Popular restaurant due to good quality food. Other restaurants at the location were not attracting custom.
