Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap Review: New Cheap Thai Kway Chap Eatery At Kovan

Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap at Kovan With places such as Took Lae Dee and Siamese Cat popping up, it is apparent that the craze for Thai food isn’t dying down anytime soon.

Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap Review: New Cheap Thai Kway Chap Eatery At Kovan

Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap jumped on the Thai food bandwagon and started selling Thai kway chap just a month ago! Many have raved about their tasty food and affordable quotations, which is why I couldn’t wait to try it out for myself.

Food at Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap The menu at Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap is simple. You can get their Signature Thai Kway Chap ($5) that comes with an array of components, or a bowl of Plain Kway Chap ($3) and some side dishes. At first glance, this bowl of Signature Thai Kway Chap already differs from the kway chap we are familiar with.

Instead of a brown herby soup, the kway and elements are left to sit in a clear peppery soup. This way, they acted as canals for the peppery soup that exploded in my mouth. Accompanying the silky smooth rice rolls were tau pok, pieces of offal, fish sausage, and pork slices.

I’d recommend eating the fish sausage before it soaks in the soup. That way, the flavour wouldn’t escape into the soup and it’ll remains company.

I was excited to try their Thai Mid Wing ($6/$8/$10) and Deep Fried Thai Pork Belly ($6/$8/$10) , but we were told that those were sold out, so we went ahead with their Thai Boiled Pork Belly ($6/$8/$10) and Thai Fish Sausage ($6/$8) instead. But the Thai Boiled Pork Belly here hit the golden ratio of fat to meat.

Per to I loved the condiment as it cut through the fats and, a burst of flavours to the otherwise plain meat. While we were finishing up the bowl of kway, our plate of Thai Fish Sausage was served.

Unlike the ones left soaking in the bowl of kway chap, these were firm to the bite and had more taste. Ambience at Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap occupies one of the stalls along Upper Serangoon Road, just around the corner from Lola’s Cafe.

Walking into the store, the metal tables and stools, along with the simple decor, instantly transported me back to one of those roadside eateries in Bangkok. Though Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap is only a month old, it has successfully garnered much attention. They also ran out of most of the popular items, so remember to get there early if you decide to head down!

The verdict Even though I didn’t get to try the items that got me all hyped up about going down to Kovan, Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap still left quite an impression. Address: 945 Upper Serangoon Road, Singapore 534711 Opening hours: Daily 11am to 2am Tel: 8822 5637 Yaowarat Thai Kway Chap is not a halal eatery.
