In the Tho Thong Daeng community on Thetsa 2 Road, Nai Mueang subdistrict, Mueang district, Kamphaeng Phet province, a new noodle shop named "Nutphop Pok Pok Noodle" is located at 332/1, opposite Nong Pling Waterworks. It just opened on 1 August. The sign in front of the shop prominently displays a price of 10 baht per bowl. Currently, there is a special promotion: buy 5 bowls, get 1 free, valid only for the Nam Tok menu.
The shop offers various noodles including thin rice noodles, wide rice noodles, egg noodles, instant noodles, along with bean sprouts, morning glory, meatballs, pork, and pork liver. For those wanting a fuller meal, the shop offers larger sizes at 20 baht, regular bowls at 40 baht, and special bowls at 50 baht. The menu includes Nam Tok Tom Yum, Tom Klong, creamy Tom Yum, and Yen Ta Fo. The most popular dish among customers is Nam Tok Tom Yum.
The shop’s name combines the names of the mother and father. The nickname "Pok Pok" comes from the time when the father drove a three-wheeled cart selling noodles through communities, knocking wood to call customers. It is widely known that when the knocking sound 'pok pok' is heard, it’s time for those wanting noodles to hurry before the cart moves out of the alley.
The reason for setting the starting price at 10 baht per bowl is to give customers a chance to try it first. If they don’t like it, they won’t have to order multiple bowls, but if they enjoy it, they can order more according to their appetite.
An important condition for the shop’s broth is that the pot must be kept boiling at all times. If it stops boiling, the flavor changes, so the stove must be monitored throughout the entire selling day.
The 'Buy 5 get 1 free' promotion celebrates the shop’s opening, and the starting price of 10 baht per bowl is also a special price during this promotional period.
