Yet another one of those coffeeshop stalls that had opened during the Circuit Breaker, Pratunam Famous Thai Chicken & Pork Leg Rice is a new stall located at 27A Coffee Shop along Lorong 27A Geylang that serves up mainly Thai Chicken Rice and Pork Leg Rice.

The Combo is the one to get if you are looking to have the best of both worlds — coming with White Chicken, Pork Leg, Shallots, Braised Egg and Crispy Pork Lard, it is actually pretty generously-sized for its price at $8.90; a good portion of meat that blankets the bed of rice beneath; great to share especially for smaller eaters. Liked how the both meats are deboned for the convenience of the patrons; the meats are both done equally well — the White Chicken while coming in almost a shredded form, remains to be chunky for meaty bite; tender and succulent with enough juices locked within so it’s nowhere dry. The Pork Leg comes drenched with a thick braised sauce that gives a savoury note; the texture of the meat was close to that of the White Chicken — pretty commendable especially considering it’s pork, while the skin comes slightly gelatinous and gives a contrast of texture, while the flavours are not in anyway gamey and the meatiness works well with the savouriness of the braised sauce that further elevated the dish. Beneath, the rice is pretty similar to that of our local chicken rice; one that seems to be cooked with chicken stock and bears an aromatic whiff that pairs well with the zippy chili sauce that comes with quite a kick. The inclusion of preserved vegetables helped to add a tangy crunch that cuts through the meatiness, while the coriander provides a refreshing note that goes especially well with the chili and rice. Crispy Pork Lard was fried pretty well; sufficiently crisp without feeling as though there is still grease trapped inside, nor did it carry any stench of overused oil. The braised egg was probably the only element that felt more pedestrian in the bowl — still something that is good to have for those who must have their braised egg at every given opportunity.

Perhaps a little pricey for the ‘hood, but something refreshing indeed for a change!
