Finally Trying Basil King in Singapore

Basil Pork

This chain of hawker stalls in Singapore was apparently inspired by a social media dude's venture in Bangkok. There was an outlet near me today, so I went in to give a try.

The thing that gets everyone's attention is the eggs, especially since you have the option to get up to four of them in one go. They used chicken eggs here instead of duck eggs, but they were still the most distinctive thing on the plate. Yep, it made a visual impact, but it was also fun to eat because it was fried with so much oil that it was crispy yet gooey and also neatly packaged.

The pad krapow itself wasn't that special; I wish it were more salty and less sweet, but it was still edible enough to eat quickly. Next time I need step up to level 4 on the spicy scale as 3 was just too tame.
