Ta Tuy Pak Ma Rice Porridge Ayutthaya: Bold Flavors You Must Try

When talking about nighttime food in the old city of Ayutthaya, one of the places mr.hotsia insists you must not miss isTa Tuy Pak Ma Rice Porridge ShopThis shop is famous and full of strong local vibes, located at the right turn of the Chedi roundabout, before crossing the Pasak River Bridge to Ayutthaya Island.

The first time I heard the name of this shop, I chuckled to myself wondering what “Pak Ma” (literally 'mouth like a dog' meaning blunt or straightforward) meant and why the shop was named that way. But when I actually visited, I found the concept fun and straightforward. The owner, named Ta Tuy, was not there that day, but the staff running the shop had that same blunt style, speaking frankly which made the atmosphere very friendly. I'm not sure how blunt Ta Tuy really is, but one thing is certain: the food’s flavor is not blunt at all. It’s deliciously bold, the way people in Ayutthaya have known and loved for a long time.

The rice porridge menu here isn’t just plain porridge; there are many side dishes and signature items that made me order several extra plates, including crispy pork, red pork, and even intensely flavored pork blood soup. The spicy chili vinegar placed on the table perfectly complements and completes the flavors.
