Discover some of the must-try street food at Jodd Fairs Night Market below:

Japanese Street Food

Kickstart your casual gastronomic adventure with Okonomiyaki with Fried Egg, a savoury Japanese pancake with cabbage and meat, topped with a sunny-side-up egg. You can pair it with a hefty serving of Giant Octopus Takoyaki for a filling meal. When we say giant, you get four pieces bigger than the usual Takoyaki and each ball is filled with tender chunks of octopus which means you get your money’s worth with every bite.

Love sushi? Different kinds of sushi are also available, with some priced between THB10 to THB20.

Korean Picks

Get yourself some Spicy Korean Tteokbokki, a Korean dish made of rice cakes covered in spicy sauce. Another Korean snack you should try is the Grilled Halloumi Cheese and Tteok, a salty and savoury surprise made from goat’s and sheep’s milk and Korean rice cakes.

Grilled Meat and Skewers

When visiting night markets, some prefer to eat while exploring the different stalls and what they have on sale. If you want to walk around while eating, Grilled Beef/Pork/Chicken Skewers are your best bets. These are grilled upon ordering so you can expect to relish a tender bite as you wander around.

Pancakes Galore

Pancake lovers will enjoy trying the Thai Coconut Pancake in flower-like shapes or the bigger Coconut Pandan Pancake. Cartoon Pancakes are available in different characters like Minions, Pokemons, and Sailor Moon. As an extra treat, it’s fun to watch the stall owners create magic using the pancake mix so make sure to stick around for the performance.
