I am mr.hotsia, and today I will take you to experience a unique barramundi porridge. This place is not just an ordinary restaurant but a connection point between the local lifestyle and the freshness of ingredients in this city.

Surat Thani Morning Market is located by the Tapi River. It is a spot where city residents and villagers from nearby districts come to sell food and goods from dawn, before the sun gets too strong. I walked through small alleys until I found the barramundi porridge shop, located not far from the fresh seafood stalls I previously recommended in an article.Fresh Seafood at Surat Thani Morning MarketThe first impression upon arrival was the aroma of hot porridge wafting to my nose, accompanied by lively chatter and the sounds of cooking all the time.

Barramundi Porridge: A Unique Specialty

The porridge here is not ordinary; it uses fresh barramundi caught from nearby seas. The chef poaches the fish until perfectly cooked. The texture is soft and delicate with no fishy smell at all. The rice porridge is cooked until just right, combined with a rich fish bone broth that creates a harmonious flavor. Personally, I, mr.hotsia, like to add sliced ginger and pepper to enhance the aroma and add a slight spicy heat that keeps this bowl of porridge exciting.

The atmosphere around the shop is another charm that impressed me greatly. Most locals eating here are market vendors and workers starting their day with this bowl of porridge. It feels like being part of the daily life here, not just a passing tourist.
