That is what we did for one of the evenings by having supper at Jeh O Chula, an immensely popular late night street food in town that at times you have to queue for at least two hours before you get a table.
Fortunately, we bought the express pass voucher from Klook prior to that, and the voucher also comes with a set meal of food. Hence, we are able to skip the queue and got a table within 10 minutes upon reaching the stipulated time indicated on the voucher. We got the Set B ($30.39) which comes with a small pot of Jeh O’s Famous Mama Tom Yum with mixed seafood, eggs and pork meatballs in it, Jeh O’s Signature Crispy Pork Belly, Yum Salmon of salmon sashimi in a sour spicy Thai sauce and a plate of stir-fried morning glory. The set is more than enough to feed 2-3 pax and you can order more when you in the restaurant, so that is a trick to get your table without braving the queues.
The highlight of the meal has got to be the Mama Tom Yum pot, a pool of comfort food in a creamy spicy broth that you cannot get enough of. Is this worth an air ticket to come to Bangkok for? I would say a resounding yes; the other tom yum mama in Singapore just didn’t have the x-factor and taste that Jeh O Chula brings to the table. The use of fresh seafood, huge meatballs and that addictive broth makes it a killer combination.
