"Station Jabjab," a hidden culinary treasure in Phitsanulok! Rich noodle soup with a savory broth, crispy pork with airy skin and tender meat, starting at 40 baht — a fulfilling meal you’ll want to recommend.
For those seeking a satisfying one-bowl meal in Phitsanulok, "Station Jabjab" is highly recommended. This beloved noodle soup spot for early risers and evening workers sits on Ratchaphruek Road. It is known for careful ingredient selection and meticulously crafted flavors by the talented owner Natthananya Wankham, 36, who transformed her personal love of noodle soup into a secret recipe to share with customers.
The unique secret of this shop’s deliciousness lies in the broth, a recipe personally developed by Rose. It features the fragrant aroma of five-spice herbs, with a rich, well-balanced flavor that is neither overly sweet nor too salty. Each sip is soothing without needing extra seasoning.
But the highlight not to miss is the crispy pork, made exclusively from grade A pork belly. The meticulous process starts by boiling until nearly cooked, then drying in the oven to remove moisture, followed by frying to achieve a beautifully puffed, crunchy skin that’s crispy to the bite while keeping the meat inside tender and juicy, never tough.
The bowl is generously packed with quality side ingredients beyond the star crispy pork, including soft chicken blood cubes, perfectly stewed chicken drumsticks, tender chicken feet for enjoyable chewing, clean pork offal free from any unpleasant odor, and large pieces of fried tofu.
Customers can choose between chewy noodle soup noodles, white rice vermicelli, or for those who prefer just the toppings, a broth-only "kao lao" option is available. Prices start at only 40 baht per bowl, guaranteeing a fully satisfying meal in one serving.
