Extra-Ordinary Pad Krapao Plates to Titillate Your Taste Buds
Ask any Thai person who may find it difficult to decide what they would like to eat, the answer almost always leads to, ‘Pad Krapao’; this dish that literally means ‘to stir-fried Holy Basil Leaf’ is as common in Bangkok as the uneven sidewalks and lottery ticket hawkers. Beloved for its simple and affordable 3 main ingredients; fried egg, stir fried chicken/pork/beef and a hearty serving of rice, this trifecta of unmainess is what makes Pad Krapao unanimously loved by Thais and visitors.
But, as anything popular with the masses, there’s not much left sacred, and yes, this includes the humble, classic Pad Krapao. Bangkok Foodies encountered 5 modern and creative variations of Pad Krapao available in Bangkok, which will make any adventurous foodies ecstatic or possibly, p*ss off a Krapao purist. Either way, you should be tempted to give it a try.
