(Closed) Pratunam Famous Thai Chicken & Pork Leg Rice – Geylang Coffeeshop Stall Sells Jay Fai-Inspired Crab Meat Omelette
October 21, 2020
Opened for a few months in the same coffee shop as my favourite satay stall, Pratunam Famous Thai Chicken & Pork Leg Rice offers comforting Thai dishes such as pork leg rice, chicken rice, moo ping and Thai fish cake!
Pork Leg Rice or Chicken Rice? If you cannot decide, just go for the Pratunam Chicken And Pork Leg Rice Combo ($8.90). There’s so much food in the bowl that I almost didn’t know where to start. I love that the pork leg was braised till tender, the generous servings of fried shallots and vegetables, and the lava egg on the side. No complaints about the chicken too, don’t expect it to be as flavourful as our local chicken rice. Mix both the meat and fragrant rice together to get a comforting combination of flavours.
If I were to come back again, I would definitely just order a single portion of pork leg rice. I love to drizzle their homemade chilli on the meat. It is packed with flavour and definitely spice up any average meal.
This coffeeshop stall caught my attention because they posted a video of their Jay Fai-inspired crab omelette on Hawkers United Facebook Page. I thought I can satisfy my craving without having to travel to Bangkok to eat at the 1-Michelin-Star street hawker. Sadly, I was pretty disappointed.
Yes, they had chunky Indonesian crab meat stuffed inside a huge omelette. But on my day of visit, the egg roll reeked of oil and wasn’t as fluffy as it should be. Paying $34.90, I was expecting generous chunks of sweet lump crab meat but I saw more eggs and the taste of the crab meat seemed to be a little off that day.
Please call 2 hours in advance to order their crab meat omelette.
We also ordered skewers (moo ping) that were grilled well. The skewers which were coated with a sweet sauce were chunky and very satisfying!
