Krapow Thai Street Food has been an establishment that we had been following for quite a while — these folks had first entered the local F&B scene some time ago with their very first outlet being situated at Far East Plaza; they had since expanded their operations with an outlet at Chinatown Point. Whilst the brand has seen a bit of revamp especially at the Chinatown Point outlet to align themselves as a bit of a more upmarket dining establishment in recent times, they had also opened a new outlet at 55 Zion Road within walking distance from both Zion Riverside Food Centre and Great World MRT Station along the Thomson-East Coast Line. They had taken over the former premises of the now-defunct Uptown — the food menu at their Zion Road location does feature a few dishes that seem to be exclusive to this location; the categories in the menu here includes Krapow, Drunkkard Noodle, House Pad Thai, Fried Rice, Soi Hero, Side, Salad, Tom Yum, Curry, From The Wok and Main, Eggs & Vegetables and Dessert. Beverage options include Thai Tea & Coffee, Matcha & Coconut, Herbal & Fruit Drinks, Other Drinks and Beer.
The Samran’s Beef Boat Noodles is an item that is being listed in the Soi Hero section of the menu — the menu describes the dish to come with elements such as braised beef, beef balls, herbal broth, rice noodles and morning glory; the dish does also seemed to be one of those items that are exclusively available at Krapow Thai Street Food’s outlet at Zion Road. Priced at $15.90, the Samran’s Beef Boat Noodles might not be the cheapest rendition of Thai Boat Noodles being served up by Thai establishment across the island; that being said, this does come across as one that left quite an impression on us nonetheless. Going for the herbal broth, we already loved how the herbal broth is especially flavourful and savoury; the herbal broth was also particularly thick and strangely does also work very well when mopped up with a bowl of rice on the side too. The rice noodles does come with a bit of chewy consistency, while the beef balls added a springy, meaty bite without being gamey, but it was the consistency of the braised beef of the beef golden coin cut that was truly impressive having absorbed the flavours of the braising liquid whilst being tender and not gamey as well. The morning glory does add an element of crunch and keeps things balanced here from the savoury flavours and the meatiness going on in the dish.
($8++) its first time to order their light starter dish for peanut bean curd. Its got mochi chewy texture for beancurd topped with peanut powder and ginger sauce.
(S Size - $10++) I ordered wrongly instead of should be ordering Simmered Pork Belly. but their stir-fried spring onion don't have strong smell as expected and its quite crunchy texture.
($11.80++) its first time to order their plain noodle.
(S Size - $9.80++) [3rd time order] I ordered it previously like 6 years ago? its a been while. But the taste maintained the same like in the past.
Gave this a go after spotting a surprisingly long queue, even though it wasn’t peak hour. Thought it might be something special but I didn’t quite vibe with it. The duck was on the tougher side and had a gamey flavour I couldn’t get past. The braise sauce looked promising but tasted surprisingly light with just a mild herbal note. The variety’s decent but nothing really stood out. Queue moved slowly too, which made the whole experience feel a bit underwhelming. Maybe it’s a comfort pick for regulars but I’d probably look elsewhere next time.
Kway Chap 》$16
Preserved Veg w Braised Pork 》$4
Plump, freshly made wantons sitting in a well-balanced mix of chilli oil and vinegar which was more sour than spicy but in a good way. The tang hits first then the heat creeps in gently with a satisfying kick. Skin was silky, filling was juicy and honestly, its value for money. Could easily snack on this on its own. There was a queue on a weekend noon but it’s worth the wait 》$6.50
(Hot $7.50) I felt that its much better than morning time so its got nutty and umami aftertaste.
Interesting variety, almost like Bengawan Solo. Small slice of banana was strong, while the kueh was damn coconutty.
From Tempura Makino
Seriously satisfying portion of tempura for the Tendon.
The iced lime juice is light, zesty, and ultra-refreshing. A crisp, citrusy contrast that’s perfect for cooling down after a bold, flavourful meal.
The avocado juice is thick, smooth, and wonderfully creamy, made from fresh avocado. Naturally sweet and indulgent, with a drizzle of chocolate adding a luscious finishing touch.
Whether you’re in the mood for something crisp or rich, these drinks have got you covered!
Es Jeruk Nipis 》$6.80
Jus Alpukat 》$8.80
Thick, tender pieces of chicken grilled over charcoal for that deep, smoky aroma, paired with an ultra-creamy peanut sauce. The sauce is smooth yet topped with bits of ground peanuts for added texture, leaning on the sweeter side but still packed with nutty richness 》$16.80
