My cravings for this dish have gone unsatisfied after returning from having tried it in Bangkok, and I was absolutely thrilled to learn that there was somewhere in Singapore offering it. It’s essentially pork spines, which are usually thrown out, salvaged for cheap, and boiled into a spicy, flavourful soup chock full of green chillies and coriander.
.
Does it compare to the one in BKK? It actually differs slightly, and it may not be a bad thing. The first thing I noticed was that there are a lot less chillies, and the overall flavour of the dish leaned more towards astringency rather than the fiery burn of the BKK version. The pork spine was also A LOT meatier and much more tender. The L portion we ordered ($25) included an entire slab of soft bone, and meat, something I didn’t see in the one from BKK, which were mostly bones.
.
Taste-wise I do think the BKK one wins with a more intense overall flavour, but I did enjoy this dish, and felt that it did manage to sate my cravings... for now.
