Kor Moo Pharam 5

It may sound absurd to venture to the outskirts of Bangkok for grilled pork jowls (a staple in Isaan eateries), but it’s totally worth it for this unusual take on the dish, prepared by Nakul Kawinrat, former head chef of Never Ending Summer. This al fresco shack churns out grilled pork jowls that’s less on fat and and just right on spice. Pair the meat with more than ten varieties of complementary nam prik. Apart from grilled items, the eatery also serves Chef Nakul’s twist on Thai dishes like gaeng karee rawaeng, a mash up of gaeng karee (Thai curry with Indian spices) and gaeng rawaeng (a green curry-like dish with turmeric and lemongrass); and ganeg runjuan Vientiane, a sour curry with a base of fermented fish.
