Southern Stewed Pork with Phatthalung Curry Rice

Southern stewed pork with Phatthalung curry rice, a rich flavor that mr.hotsia must try

When mentioning Phatthalung province, many people probably think of its abundant nature, Songkhla Lake, and the colorful morning market full of local life. But for mr.hotsia, one charm that cannot be overlooked is “Southern Stewed Pork” — a signature dish blending authentic southern flavors with the simplicity of home-style curry rice. This is the taste I traveled to experience myself and want to share.

I started my day by strolling throughPhatthalung Morning Marketwhere the morning atmosphere is filled with the chatter of vendors and the aroma of freshly cooked food. The stewed pork I found was at a small stall by the roadside. It didn’t look fancy, but the scent of spices that greeted me at the first step made me stop and order immediately.

The stewed pork here is not the overly sweet or salty type found in many provinces. It uses authentic southern spices such as turmeric, galangal, lemongrass, and whole peppercorns. The flavor is mellow and deeply infused into the pork, which is braised until tender. The broth is rich but not too heavy, served with hot steamed rice and fresh seasonal vegetables. This meal made me feel as if I were sitting in a Phatthalung local’s kitchen.

What makes this stewed pork stand out is the cooking method passed down through generations, the use of fresh local ingredients, and attention to every detail. I spoke with one vendor who said the secret is slow simmering over low heat for a long time to let the spices fully absorb into the pork, and not forgetting to add palm sugar to naturally enhance the sweetness.
