Pork Rice Porridge @ Doi Pha Hee, Chiang Rai: Homestyle flavors on the mountain top you shouldn't miss
When talking about Chiang Rai, many people probably think of the stunning Wat Rong Khun or the lively walking street in the city. But for mr.hotsia, Chiang Rai has much more waiting to be discovered. One of them is “Pork Rice Porridge @ Doi Pha Hee,” a small place full of warmth and flavors that you’ll want to share.
Doi Pha Hee is located not far from Chiang Rai city. Just a few kilometers drive up the mountain, you will experience cool fresh air and beautiful mountain views without having to go as far as Doi Inthanon or Doi Chang, which I have shared my experiences about in other articles.Driving Trip to Doi ChangThis place is not crowded with tourists like other famous attractions, making the atmosphere friendly and perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and recharge their spirits.
Hot Pork Rice Porridge with Cool Mountain Atmosphere
I, mr.hotsia, must say that tasting the pork rice porridge at Doi Pha Hee is a perfect match with the cool mountain air. The restaurant atmosphere is simple and natural, not fancy but full of warmth from the owner and local villagers.
The pork rice porridge here features tender marinated pork with a balanced flavor. The clear broth is fragrant with ginger and fried garlic. Importantly, the ingredients are very fresh because the pork used is local, giving a homestyle taste you can’t find in typical city porridge shops. The vegetables and side dishes are also special, including fresh produce from nearby community farms.
