Pok Pok is a restaurant serving food found at restaurants, pubs, homes and the streets of Southeast Asia with the majority of the food coming from Thailand, and specifically from the North and Northeast of Thailand. Their menu changes seasonally, monthly or at whim. They do not serve staples like Phat Thai or Penang Curry, but the food they do serve is very accessible to most people. Pok Pok use local product when possible and practical.

Thier drinking water is flavored with Pandanus leaf, as is done often in Northern Thailand, which gives it that toasted rice/vanilla/grassy flavor.

Vietnamese Coffee

Ca phe sua da or cafe sua da (Vietnamese: cà phê sữa đá) is a unique Vietnamese coffee recipe. Literally, the name means “milk coffee with ice”. In northern Vietnam, it is also called ca phe nau da (Vietnamese: cà phê nâu đá), meaning “iced brown coffee”. Ca phe sua da can be made simply by mixing brewed black coffee with about a quarter to a half as much sweetened condensed milk and then pouring it over ice.

Many Vietnamese immigrants in the Southern United States, particularly in Louisiana, use the regional dark French roast coffee, often with chicory. Otherwise they use an imported Vietnamese-grown and medium-roasted coffee without chicory. The coffee is traditionally coarsely ground, then individually brewed with a small metal Vietnamese drip filter (cà phê phin), into a cup containing the condensed milk. The condensed milk and coffee are stirred together and poured over ice. In modern times some people add whipped cream on top.
